    The clearest and most comprehensive look at transposing of the tutorials I’ve seen on UA-cam. Nice job.
    I love you’ve included a variety of ways depending our needs, project and situation at hand.

    Chris, a relative newbie here, I would just like to say that this is the best and most comprehensive explanation I have seen on the internet re transposing in Logic. I think the problem stems from the fact that a lot of explanations only partially describe the subject and that can lead to confusion. Thanks.

    Wonderful tutorial Chris! Now I fully understand why Key change alters some of my Projects but not others. I've never looked at Transpose in Global Tacks before!

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for continually putting out excellent tutorials! Lately, I have been wondering how to use the Global Transpose with regions that include key switches/articulations. For example I'll have a MIDI bass guitar track (Toontrack EZ Bass) that will have both the melody and articulation notes in the same region. The articulation MIDI notes are required so the plug-in knows how to approach the melodic note (slide-in/out or other bass guitar techniques). Ideally, I would like to simply change the key signature globally as you show, but this will also transpose the articulations MIDI data and of course the bass line will not be executed the same. What would you suggest for preserving the articulation data when transposing? Is there a way to lock certain MIDI notes within a region? Or, should I be duplicating the track and dividing the melodic MIDI data from the articulation MIDI data (and marking No Transpose on the articulation track)? Any suggestions would be awesome and thanks again for doing such a great job!
    Craig

    Thank you! Every time I watch your video, I learn something new (like varispeed!) For me, transpose track is not working what I expected sometimes. I changed key (+1) which gave me correct result at first. However, when I changed from +1 to 0, MIDI is back to original key, but Audio files doesn’t, which I have to go into region inspector to change everything. I don’t know whether it only happens to me, but I just manually changed the key in the region inspector, which seems straightforward to me 😅

    Does it work with vocals or 3rd party loops ?
    I'm assuming I'll need to bounce in place and create a new apple loop , or use melodyne?

  • @heartshinemusic

    Hi Chris, great video. You didn't go into the Varispeed option of the kHz adjustment. I was wondering can you use that to change a whole project from 440 Hz to a 432 Hz tuning? I'm very interested if it is possible to easily tune down a song to a 432 Hz tuning in Logic. I hadn't heard of this option before, is this a new feature in Logic or has it been there for years? Thanks for all your insightful video's!

    Thank you so much! You answered my question about changing the pitch and speed of a project independently. However, in the last example of transposing the entire project while maintaining tempo, is there a loss of audio quality with the Flex and Follow function?
    What loss of quality is there, if any, with Varispeed and Flex mode with audio?
    What I am trying to do is change the speed only of a project, which you can obviously do with Varispeed. But I have yet to find an answer as to the resultant audio quality of a sped up audio loop that is already in the project.

  • @davidpurple3698
    @davidpurple3698 2 роки тому

    Thanks - great video. I didn't think you could change audio files between major and minor? When you choose an audio loop you search for a minor if your song is in minor - but with what you show you can drage it in - export to Loops again - drag it back and you have converted a e.g. major loop to a minor loop ?

    Do you know if the transpose lane only changes midi or if your audio tracks have flex mode on, they will change if you move the mode on the transposition track.

  • @peterbondy
    @peterbondy 2 місяці тому

    I’ve just rewatched this because I have to do some transposing and I have to ask, what is the point of the transpose master track you opened if you never use it? I would have thought the easiest way to transpose without altering key signatures is to simply adjust the transposition in the transpose track? Wouldn’t that keep all the intervals correct because it is still working in a major or minor scale (whatever you’ve initially chosen)?
    Anyway I’ll experiment later today when I get back to my studio.

    Often when I transpose an audio region up, the whole audio file becomes corrupt and cuts in and out abruptly. Even when it's just one small audio file on the project. Logic never used to do this, and it does it all the time now. It's incredible frustrating. Any ideas?

    I really wish there was a way to also transpose parametric EQ'ing. Im in the bad habit of semi mixing when creating/ recording music. I can't stand working with painful frequencies so i notch them out straight away, but then if I then need to transpose things the EQ'ing was a waste, and I have to redo it. Anyone know a fix for this? (Yes, I know I could have bounced it, but it doesn't really help with MIDI.)

    • @lawinter1949
      @lawinter1949 2 роки тому

      The only fix I know would work for this is if you use pro-Q 3 for the shaping and then select all the points and move them based on the little keyboard you can add at the bottom of gui. If you don’t already own pro q 3 though it’s a little pricey.

      @@lawinter1949 i do have Pro Q3 and that’s how I do it now, but it’s quite time consuming to manually do this with every notch EQ. And for some audio when transposed it doesn’t have the same impact on hearing. But thanks for the reply and tips.

    Reasons why I'm about to switch back to Pro Logic.. it's for professionals and it's made by studio driven people. FL Studio is just messy, buggy and my big pet peeve is the transpose DIRECTLY ON DRUM TRACKS! Let's remember friends, logic Pro is Pro Tools in a simplified fashion... and better instruments too lol

    some ok workarounds, but it just doesn't work as seamlessly as ableton and studio one. not a deal breaker for me as a logic user since i rarely ever need this kind of thing, but nonetheless is too clunky for me imho. def room for improvement by apple.
