  • [SOLVED] Rendering a piece in Logic with a Room Tone engaged

    Hi,

    I'm using the Room Tone in MIR PRO, with Logic Pro X. The Room Tone is createds a a MIR plugin inserted in a track. The track is an empty stereo Vienna Instruments Pro instrument.

    Usually, to bounce a piece as an audio file, you select all the regions, and Logic automatically creates an audio file as long as the latest audio region selected. It also automatically adds sound tails for reverb, if needed.

    With Room Tone engaged, this lenght limit is not respected, even if the Bounce dialog shows it. The Room Tone is probably considered an audio tail, and the resulting audio file goes on, up to the right limit of the Logic project.

    Is there a way to shorten this tail?

  • Hi Paolo,

    the most straight-forward way would be to create an extra bounce for the RoomTone and use the resulting audio track instesd of the "life" version. Another work-around is to automate the RT plug-in's Volume to "-inf" once the track is supposed to be over.

    HTH,

  • Thank you Dietz, very nice solutions! I think I like the second one more, and a small audio region with only a volume fade out at the end would work well.

  • To avoid misunderstandings: I referred to the Volume parameter of the MIR Pro plug-in itself. You will have to automate the respective Logic controller lane.

    HTH,

  • Dietz, I did it with the Logic track volume control, and it worked as well. While acting on different parameters, they are probably doing the same thing for the bounce feature (making the sound fade out).

  • Logic always "thinks" differently ... ;-D

    Great to hear that you found a solution.

    All the best & stay healthy,

    Well, I can choose. Usually I use MIDI parameters in the regions, to control the plugins parameters. In this case preferred to avoid interfering with MIR, still generating the reverb tail. I went for Logic's mixer automation, independent from the plugin.

    Is there a difference between the two methods, as for the results?

    Take care you too!

  • Honestly - I don't know! :-) Personally I would have assumed that Logic "listens" to the channel's output pre-fade when doing track bounces, that's why I suggested to mute the signal's source rather then the output volume, but I've been proven wrong.
