The BEST Logic Pro 11 Feature No One is Talking About…

In this video, I tell you about my favorite new features in LP11. One of them nobody’s really talking about, including Apple, and it might be the best one of them all for audio nerds!
The first thing we get into is Logic Pro 11’s new “Stem Split”, which sound incredibly good for a v1 of Apple’s stem splitting technology. From a mastering perspective - if I just want to process something on the vocal, I can use stem split to isolate the vocals on their own track and simply add the plugins to that track. Incredible workflow!
Next I talk about the Bass and Keyboard Session Players - Apple’s new AI assistant players. We’ve had “Session Drummer” for a while, and now they’ve added a bassist and keyboard player. You can simply turn them on and let them go wild, or you can use Apple’s new chord track to write your own chord changes for these players to follow.
After that we take a look at Chromaglow, which is Apple’s new saturation plugin that models tubes, tape, preamps and more. In the video, I run some test tones through Chromaglow to see what it’s doing. Specifically, I run some models to see if I can accurately recreate $25,000 worth of high end analog tube mastering equipment. With the help of some tasteful dither (used in a way you typically don’t use dither), I was able to match the sonic profile of my mastering equipment.
The last thing (and the thing I most people aren’t really talking about) is Logic Pro 11’s new feature “Bounce In Place” for External Instruments. This is a GREAT new feature that allows a realtime bounce-in-place to print tracks in your session through both plugins AND outboard equipment. It’s a game changing feature for mix and mastering engineers.

If you click the analyzer window on Pro-Q3, you can set the external spectrum to other Pro-Q3 instances. Helps when you want to compare spectrums of audio, or in your case, emulate the distortion from analog equipment!

Can Logic "punch in" audio (while playing along) and have it loop record? Every time I try... it stops recording on the next loop. Thanks

How does the stem splitter compare with izotope's RX11? also curious how the chromaglow compares to ozone's exciter. still it sounds great. glad it was a free upgrade :)

@WillBorza 2 ай бұрын

Stem splitter is wild. Logic's doesn't null with the original stereo mix, Rx11's nulls with the original mix. But Logic's sounds 'better' on its own, while Rx has more artifacts. I think Logic is doing [vocals + probably vocals], [drums + probably drums] , [Bass + probably bass], [else + probably else], whereas Rx is doing [vocals], [drums], [bass], [else]. The "probablies" have some overlap. Chromaglow sounds like "subtle analog" more so than Exciter, but Exciter can get a LOT dirtier than Chromaglow, so use one or the other accordingly.

I am a blind user. I would love to know if you can make a. Plug-in chain so I could do a bouncing place like you did. Since I can’t follow along, I have all the plug-ins that you have. Really appreciate it if you can help me out.

i’d love to insert dither the way you did with chroma glow - i’ve only ever done that during export. is there a stock logic plugin that can add dither the way you did? or a freebie? Loved this video - subbed!

The dither use is interesting. I think that the noise floor you´ve created is the noise shaping feature of the dither process, you can probably change it´s spread using the various noise shaping profiles available on the L2. But I guess that you let it in Off (no dither) on the L2 before the real time bounce . Check around the 11.21 secs on your video🙂

I don’t think the 2 harmonic views look hugely similar. There a lot of extra harmonics and fewer gathered around the fundamental. How well you could hear these is be less certain but I would give it a go

@Fiveash-Art 2 ай бұрын

Stem splitter doesn't sound good to my ears .. The higher frequencies bleed over into all the tracks producing artifacts giving it that swishy low quality mp3 sound. The only track you don't get much of that is in the bass stuff. Everything else sounds pretty meh to me. I could see maybe using it for grabbing samples, but other than that, using it to actually 'master' a track. I don't know about that.

@nicebluejay 2 ай бұрын

i never use this kind of thing, but aside from grabbing sample or ripping a vocal for a remix, what are the other use cases for stem splitting?

@WillBorza 2 ай бұрын

This one doesn't null with the original mix, but the Rx11 stem split DOES null with the original mix. Would that be more useful for your needs?

@Bittamin 2 ай бұрын

Perfect for me. All my tracks are in an underground 90s flavor and I export everything as mp3 already. Being able to take dialogue from tv shows and movies now and get the BR noise out has opened up a whole new universe of nostalgic possibilities for me 🎉❤

@Fiveash-Art 2 ай бұрын

@@Bittamin That's why I said it's fine if you're looking for samples. That's what this function is. Just another sample grabber. It still sounds bad though.. doesn't sound like analog bad.. it sounds like digital bad. I don't have any nostalgia for digital artifacts from 'the late 90s' 😂 Maybe I'm just getting old.

@Fiveash-Art 2 ай бұрын

@@nicebluejay Well, the video uploader talked about mastering a complete track with it. Yeah, the only thing I think this thing would be useful for would be for some snippet samples.. I wouldn't even want to use it for loops because I think it sounds bad. I'm stating the artifacts sound bad to me. I wouldn't want to listen to something like that floating through an entire track.

Aliasing looks nasty on that plugin. Fold back distortion is all over the signal basically giving you random non musical harmonic intervals. Did you try this at higher sample rates? Tubes produce strong even harmonics. The digital harmonics look like Jackson Pollock painted them.

@WillBorza Ай бұрын

😂 you’re not wrong. Definitely a good argument for getting your gain staging right before slapping this thing on. If you think this is bad… check out Ozone Exciter and Oxford Inflator doing the same test!

@theblowupdollsmusic Ай бұрын

@@WillBorza It's wild that developers miss or neglect oversampling in their saturation plug-ins. This plugin in particular requires Apple Silicon to run, so the horsepower should be there to oversample it. You should try these demos again at 192K. I bet it gets closer to your hardware by pushing the Nyquist way back. That way the harmonics don't crash into the Nyquist like a wall and disintegrate randomly into your signal path.

@@WillBorza I purchased a PC with 32GB RAM, 8GB 3060 Ti RTX, 1 TB disk and the whole thing cost me less than $1500 this would have been in the $3K for an M chip Mac... i own by the way an iMac from 2017 intel and that at the time cost me $2300 with 32GB RAM and 1 TB of disk. stem splitting is available for FL Studio 21.2 for both Mac and PC and since i have an iPad that's M1 and i have logic pro 2 it also allows for Stem Splitter and Chromaglow.. so at this moment going to an M chip apple computer is not cost effective. i have everything you have and left over change as well.
