To use this feature to make Logic Pro X vocal recording more like Pro Tools, you’ll need to record each vocal performance on a new track. The lead vocal is like a close up shot in a movie, every detail and nuance is magnified and you need to get the best and most compelling performance for each and every line.īuried in a pop-up menu only when multiple audio regions are selected! Pack Take Folder You’re going to need to punch in to get a word or line just right. Who records like that? There’s no way you’re going to get the best performance singing the whole song a few times through. They all had singers happily singing an entire song three or four times through, resulting in only three or four takes to work with in the take folder. None of the tutorials I saw about comping vocals in LPX, addressed this issue. Once you create a take folder and start on the second full vocal performance, each punch in, even with Replace Record enabled, creates a new take. Even if you have “ Replace Record” enabled, which is supposed to record new audio into the current track, it only works the first time through the song. The more takes filling up the screen, the more difficult it becomes to comp together the final vocal track because you’re constantly scrolling up and down to audition sections of audio. Each time you punch into the vocal track, even if it’s just for a couple of words or one verse, it creates a new take, adding to the vertical stack of takes and filling up screen real estate. The ProblemĪs I mentioned in my PT to LPX comparison essay, the way LPX automatically creates take folders makes the workflow for recording vocals an absolute mess. First I’ll explain why I was looking for something like this in the first place and why it was so crucial to me for recording vocals.

Yes, like internet clickbait headlines I’ve discovered “one simple trick” to make your vocal workflow better. I am overjoyed to report that I have found a solution to one of my biggest complaints when switching from Pro Tools to Logic Pro X! (I compared the two in a previous post) The efficient workflow I relied on for recording vocals in Pro Tools became ungainly in LPX, but after multiple deep dives into user groups and forums I stumbled on one little feature that changed the game.
