Logic Pro for the Virtual Composer

HiDERA | 26 January 2025 | 236 MB

Logic Pro expert Stephen O’Connell presents a highly informative Logic Pro video course dedicated specifically to Logic Pro users composing primarily with MIDI instruments. Not only will you learn techniques for easing the burden on your CPU when dealing with resource-intensive VIs, but you will also discover plenty of other helpful tips, such as working with multi-timbral instruments, signal flow routing, resampling sounds, and much more, all of which will greatly improve your workflow. These videos are designed for intermediate Logic Pro users who work with predominantly virtual instruments on a regular basis. Stephen begins with a brief overview of everything that will be covered in this course and then gets right down to business, examining how Logic Pro handles CPU resources and illustrating various ways to maximize your resources in this regard. You’ll also learn how to freeze or disable tracks that aren’t being readily worked on, which will lighten the load considerably (especially in larger sessions), and how to optimize your system for running third-party MIDI libraries. Next, Stephen will show you how to start up Logic Pro without the core audio driver. This is helpful when trying to deal with projects that won’t open correctly or possibly contain corrupted data, etc. This is followed by a demonstration on how to resample sounds from a library when you only need a few notes or phrases, thereby freeing up valuable CPU resources for the other more heavily used instruments.
