![]() ![]() You can also use Logic's Object Panner and Surround Panner plugins (pictured above) for more precise panning and manipulation of your sound source in a three dimensional space. The results here speak for themselves when this mode is engaged, you can already see how it could benefit you to be able to make your listener perceive sounds as coming from super close by their ear, or similarly, from further away. The Binaural Panner acts as a circular 3D control, which allows you to place yourself in the centre and move the sound source around from the left to the right, but also front, back and near or far. One such way is to head over to your channel panner, and by right clicking you can set it to Binaural Panner which straight away gives you something which is much more than a simple stereo panner. There are a number of ways to approach this in Logic Pro. The beauty of working with Spatial Audio in Logic Pro is that you can create a professional quality binaural surround mix using headphones, which will sound good on many different surround formats. This stuff is now a lot more accessible than it once was. See, with those old 5.1 systems, you'd need a complicated studio set up to accurately represent that and mix it accordingly, which goes back to what I was saying earlier. So, the first thing you really need to get your head around when we are talking about Spatial Audio is that we're essentially talking about Surround Sound. Remember when surround sound was all the rage in home hi fi systems? You'd have speakers all over the room, some of them behind the couch? Yeah, that's basically what we're talking about.īut there's a catch. It allows you to create richly detailed three dimensional spatial sound for a truly immersive audio experience, and this is now available to use directly in Logic Pro. To put things in perspective, there was a time where if you wanted to record anything you would need access to a reel-to-reel tape machine!Ī fantastic example of this when it comes to Logic Pro and its recent updates is the inclusion of Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos.įor those of you who are unaware, Dolby Atmos is a sound format for entertainment systems which has revolutionised not only how we experience movies, music and games, but also how the sound for those mediums is made. Over the years, the increased capability of both hardware and software to perform ever more complex processes has meant that we as music producers have been enjoying an ever growing set of tools to use for our craft. There are so many areas of music production where this is the case. One of the aspects of music production that modern technology has helped democratise is the access to features and techniques that were previously unavailable to the average person, except by paying money to hire out expensive recording studios. Generally speaking, we are going to cover some of the biggest changes Logic has introduced in the last few years. However, there are a few features included in some of Logic Pro's previous updates that have really expanded what is possible with the DAW, so let's look at these in a bit more detail. As you're probably aware, with each updates that comes out for Logic Pro, there are the release notes, and it can be easy to dismiss them as a collection of small or minor things that are little or no importance. ![]() Exploring the new functions of Step SequencerĮvery update brings some smaller fixes, some quality of life improvements, and generally makes things smoother.An overview of Spatial Audio & Dolby Atmos in Logic Pro.In this guide we will cover some of the best features such as: So, in this guide, we're going to take a look at some of the newest features in Logic Pro X, and explore what they mean for you as a music producer using Logic in 2023. ![]() We are currently on version 10.7.7, and there have been some really amazing features included in the recent updates. The huge overhaul of Logic's UI and addition of a host of new or updated synths seems like a long time ago, but I can still remember when Logic Pro 9 was the standard! Logic Pro has had many quality of life updates since the launch of Logic Pro X. But over time the results mean that we are getting a DAW which is always evolving and adding new features. Sometimes this is in the form of huge overhaul updates, while other times it's smaller patches that fix issues. The modern world of software and technology is an ever changing place, which for us music producers means that our DAWs, the workstations where we use the tools of the trade to make our music, are always being updated and added to. ![]()
