Logic Pro Effects introduction
Logic Pro provides an extensive suite of software effect plug-ins that can be used in
your productions.
Effects categories include both insert effects and processors that are principally designed
for mastering use. Because you’re free to use almost all plug-ins as you see fit, there are
few restrictions on the use of effects anywhere in the signal path.
Most effects can be used in mono, stereo, dual mono, or surround channels. Logic Pro
also provides a number of dedicated surround plug-ins. See Use surround effects in
Logic Pro and Logic Pro multichannel effects overview.
Effects categories cover essential studio processors, such as compression, gating,
limiting, equalization, and metering utilities. Both vintage and modern style compressors
are emulated, making it easy to attain the sonic characteristics you need. See Dynamics
processors and Metering tools.
EQ options are extensive. The Linear Phase EQ is perfect for sculpting your primary
vocal and instrument parts. Match EQ analyzes existing audio and allows you to impose
an analyzed sonic “fingerprint” on other audio parts. The vintage EQ collection delivers
emulations of three classic analog EQ units known for their distinctive sonic coloration.
See Equalizers.
A comprehensive collection of reverb, delay, and modulation effects is available to enhance
your productions. Among these are the unique ChromaVerb, and the sophisticated and
highly configurable Delay Designer and Space Designer plug-ins. Delay Designer lets you
create precise, complex, rhythmic delays. Space Designer is a convolution reverb that
uses recordings of real-world spaces, such as concert halls and canyons that you can
impose on your audio, effectively placing your instrument or vocal in the space. See
Reverb effects and Delay effects. Modulation processors include phasing, flanging,
ring modulation, vintage rotary speaker emulation, and rich chorus effects. See
Modulation effects.
If you’re a guitarist or are using the classic B3 organ, Rhodes, Clavinet, or Mellotron
emulations provided by the included vintage instruments, you can choose from a
vast collection of retro and modern effect pedals and amplifier simulations. See
Amps and pedals.
A number of powerful Distortion and Filter effects further expand your options. The filters
include vocoder-like utilities and the Spectral Gate plug-in that offer control over the
formant and spectral characteristics of your sounds.
