#Using better ears with external midi how to

Like this: Route the audio tracks that you wan't to process through outboard gear to a different output than your other stuff (if needed) by using either I/O plugin or by just changing the Track(s) output assignment. Same thing works also for your Finalizer if it has midi implementation that supports this.īasically when your (midi)mix is ready you just record it to a stereo audio track and mix it with other stuff or you could bounce everything in realtime. (I have a lot of external hardware -synths and effects that I want to incorporate into the Logic environment - hence this post).įor hardware synths you can record your tweaks to a midi track(s) or to Audio Instrument track(s) by using Track Automation or Region based automation. I'm very inexperiences in this and come from a tape/analog mixer stable, so I probably have a flawed picture of the 'work-flow' when using Logic? In general am I interested in live processing from external gear while mixing down - it looks like you can only mix down using Logic internal plugins, recording the mix as automation data and with the Bounce facility subsequently replaying all of that while outputting to a stereo output file? It seems therefore that you cant mixdown live, or use external devices live in the mixdown process. to a stereo track, then save it to a new song and just bouce it?Īnother scenario for me is to route Logic Tracks through a digital mixer (O1V96) to use its EQ and Reverbs - and again I can't see how I can apply the mixer EQ to Logic Audio Tracks and Reverb 'live' when mixing down. So if something like the Finalizer can be used to affect the final mix, where in Logic do live changes of a finalizer (or any external device) go? And where does the audio output of the finalizer go? Do I route my entire mix - audio inputs of external synths/audio tracks/finalizer on insert.

It looks to me that you must record all mix automation (which excludes using external devices?) prior to making a setero master through the 'bounce' process.

However - I still don't get how to incorporate live tweaking of, say,a Finalizer 96K on the final mix within a Logic session and I can't find an answer in the manual. I appreciate your time and the info you provide.
