Logic Pro & External Hardware
Screen 1: Setting up your ins and outs.
It’s not always obvious in Logic Pro X how to go about incorporating hardware into your workflow; we show you how.
Almost as soon as music began to be recorded digitally, engineers felt they were losing a certain ‘something’ from not driving the audio through tubes, transistors and transformers. As the emulation of analogue electronics has improved, many have moved completely ‘in the box’ for convenience and recall. It’s perfectly possible to create fine recordings using computer‑generated audio alone, as many a number‑one hit record will testify, but many of us still feel the loss of that ‘mojo’ that, we believe, analogue hardware can provide. The cost of adding this hardware to our studios has fallen dramatically in the last few years, with clones of classic gear and the 500‑series format providing entry‑level hardware that can be bought for very little. So, if you’ve ever wondered
