Another alternative is processing the audio in the audio editor window (found by double clicking on the clip of audio).
Fading in or out brings the volume of the beginning up or the volume down if the fade is at the end of the clip of audio.Ĭonversely to the fade tool, selecting the region and typing in the value in the region parameter box (located on the left of the screen) to fade in or out might be the fastest way to batch fades in Logic Pro X - provided you know the timing you need. The sped up option sounds similar to a record starting up and getting to speed whereas the slow option is more of the tape stop effect, which can be useful in certain production scenarios. Slowing down will be displayed if you create the fade at the end of a piece of audio whereas sped up will display at the beginning of a piece of audio. The options of slowing down or speeding up should be displayed. To get started with this effect, create a fade on a piece of audio and then right click on it. The same can be done with pitch and automation but for the most part this way is the fastest and most effective.
Sometimes it’s even useful for tapering off a sound instead of using volume automation to slowly bring it down.Ī creative use of the fade tool can be the use of speeding up or slowing down the audio to create a tape stop style effect. This is helpful if you have to edit out a large number of sections from a performance and want to prevent pops or clicks from ending up in the end product. Select from the start of the desired and right click and drag off to the end to initiate the fade. What many people overlook is the ability to assign it as your right click option. It hasn’t really changed much other than the typical DAW GUI overhauls. You may or may not be aware of the fade tool in Logic. This essentially removes the burden of holding down cmd while you cut through audio. When the cursor is in the “above” section on a piece of audio, the cursor will behave normally. Having this box checked means that when your cursor hovers over the bottom section of audio the marquee tool will appear. Under the preferences>general you will find an option that may be unchecked under the pointer tool options: marquee tool click zones. You can speed up your editing workflow even more. If you been loving it so far, you’re really in for a surprise. The marquee tool can be invaluable in the modern home recording rig. This create four nodes for you to easy grab and automate. Need to automate a section but don’t want to spend all that time selecting the points? Enter automation mode and cmd click, and drag over the desired area. What if you don’t want it deleted but muted instead? Select it with the marquee tool and hit m on your keyboard instead. Selecting a section with the marquee tool by dragging your mouse over that section and hitting delete will delete the selected region. Here’s where it gets cool though double clicking on audio causes it to be cut. Highlighting a selection with the marquee tool and hitting play from the transport selection allows you to play only that section on a loop. Hitting play starts the playback from the selected spot. With the marquee tool selected, cmd and clicking once selects a spot which is noted by a vertical white line. Upon holding cmd and clicking, the selected function will be executed on wherever the mouse is pointing. To the right of the left click menu, there is another menu where the marquee tool should be selected by default. Normally one might reach for the scissors tool from the left click drop down menu, cut their regions, then switch back to the pointer just to delete the unwanted sections and continue on down the road.
Without knowledge of this tool or being a key command ninja, editing becomes this cumbersome and very time-consuming ordeal. The Marquee tool in the latest versions of Logic Pro X is a very powerful tool for editing. In order to use some of these features, advanced settings under user preferences must be selected.
