Logic Pro - How to Record Audio Effects in Realtime

Have you ever wanted to play around with special effects filters or plugins in Logic Pro and record those effects in realtime?

Watch this video to learn how you can do this quickly and easily using bus routing!

Never bake-in effects!

Always keep dry tracks!

Why bake them in???

Totally unnecessary.

Not sure what you mean?

The original track is unaffected, just outputting real-time effects changes to a new track using bus routing.

For a final, mastered song maybe you wouldn’t do this, or maybe you would if it was a live performance and you wanted to capture the audio.

I guess for me, since I’m pretty new to Logic Pro, I still don’t know the best settings for effects I want to make. If I oversample a loop and play with settings in real-time, sometimes I get “the sound” I want. If I record my hot mess as shown in the video above, I can then trim up the segments I like and either bounce them to new mini audio tracks for my own library, or paste them around a song I’m making.

Quite possible I’m doing this awkwardly.. coming at Logic Pro from a Final Cut background so my methods might seem backwards to the Logic Pro purist, dunno.

what is the product name and company name for both of your plugins...

tape delay

and

echo

they are built in to Logic Pro, no extra third party software or plugins required!

curiously, although there are echo plugins included with Logic Pro, i didn't use any of them in this video.. i only used tape delay, which apparently allows you create some pretty interesting echoes!
