These sort of audio features are generally only found in tailor-made third party software like Celemony’s Melodyne app, which can run you as much as $399 on its own.Īdmittedly, some of the full featured and expensive third party options will offer a wider range of options, dealing with polyphonic material much better in some cases and generally coming with more bells and whistles. ![]() A term that gets thrown around much too liberally, this isn’t you’re basic “auto-tune”, but rather a tool that provides everything from micro pitch correction to formant and vibrato manipulation. Pitch features were added to Flex mode with Logic Pro X, offering a deep and applicable pitch tool to the package for free. These are likely more useful to power users, but nonetheless very helpful. ![]() We also have some additional manual controls provided allowing us to to create custom segments on the track, variable speed audio files, and to alter the pre-made segments Logic has assigned. You’ll also notice that the typical MIDI region quantize features are now made available to you, which can be helpful for loose rhythmic parts, minor corrections or even creative beat making. Super helpful for demoing or auditioning alternate tempos for songs, on top of a wealth of other creative possibilities in the sampling arena and more. If you speed the session up, the audio will come with you accordingly. Now the audio region will compress/expand in time based on the tempo of our session. You’ll notice Logic has chosen an algorithm for you, but feel free to change that selection from the new track header menu that has now appeared to better suite your creative needs.ģ. Give Logic a second to analyze your audio file and then you’re ready. Let us know in the comments below of you need a hand with anything.Ģ. Otherwise you may get into some annoying issues. Note: Whatever BPM your Logic session is set to is the base tempo with which Logic will assume the file originated at, so it is recommended to have your session’s BPM set at that tempo before analyzing a track. Then engage Flex mode on your desired track by hitting the same icon on its track header. First lets make sure we click the Flex hide/view button on the arrange page (seen above) or push command + F. Note: It is always recommended to first know the pitch, key and BPM of the file you are about to Flex, but it is not completely necessary.ġ. This is based on a number of factors including the source material, your quantization settings for the file, session BPM and more. Things get pretty crazy with the Pitch and Tempophone options as each slice or analyzed section of your file will change in pitch and tempo, respectively. Mono is for basic single voiced instruments like say a guitar or a vocal Poly is for multi-voiced audio like a full song or multi-track sample and Slicing and Rhythm are generally better for drum parts or rhythmic audio. There are 4 basic time options: Monophonic, Polyphonic, Slicing and Rhythmic, along with two FX based options known as Speed and Tempophone. While in most cases Logic will automatically make an intelligent decision based on the audio, it’s always a good idea to have a basic understanding of the options in case it doesn’t. As per usual, we can only stray so far from the file’s original BPM before we start getting into some nasty sounding artifacts, but the particular analysis mode selected can be helpful. With Flex time we can ask Logic to analyze an audio file allowing us to speed it up or down based on our session’s BPM, and without changing its pitch (for the most part). While Logic and just about every other DAW have always had ways to speed up/slow down audio, independent of the file’s pitch or not, Flex parameters give as much more in depth control over our audio than the legacy Time Pitch Machine. Logic Pro X comes packed with a powerful set of audio manipulation tools known as Flex. Next week we will start a mini-series of episodes showcasing some top-notch instruments from the likes of Moog, Native Instruments and more, but first we will dive into Logic’s time compression/expansion and micro pitch correction features: In this week’s episode of the The Logic Pros, Flex audio features are up, with some serious hardware reviews on deck. ![]()
