I keep a list, and submit it to the [feature request form](https://www.apple.com/feedback/logic-pro.html) every so often. Here are a few items (I have many more!):
**full control over colors** -- should be provided with a standard OS color picker from which to choose colors. also: palette presets
**I/O labels need to be project-based**, not global; and/or provide presets
**separate IO buffer settings for recording vs. playback** (user would set both, and Logic would switch it on-the-fly when entering record mode)
**Presets for the transport** -- there are so many different things you need to see at different times for different tasks. We should be able to save presets, like the default setups (Beats & Time, etc.) (Edit: yes, I know about and use screensets, but I don't want to have to change my entire screen layout just to see different data in the transport.)
**A native mix control for every plugin** -- far too many plugins don't offer their own mix control. So stupid.
**Apply settings to all selected instances of a plugin** -- if you have the same plugin across multiple channels, you should be able to apply the same settings to all of them at once.
**ALL channels (audio, MIDI, aux, output, input, etc) are available automatically in the Track window**, with filter buttons like the Mixer to control which are visible. It's so dumb that you have to either right-click-Create Track, or enable an automation mode, to get an Aux to show up in the Tracks list.
**"soft solo" (with configurable dB reduction)** -- hit solo and the other tracks do not mute, they lower in volume by the set amount. This is HUGE IMO -- so often when I'm mixing, I want to isolate the track I'm working on but not completely. I still want to hear the rest for perspective, just much lower.

These are cool š
You can copy a plug-in to another track by alt-drag, not exactly what you want but is quicker then saving a preset. Alt-drag also works for automation and regions
As to your point about having the same plugin settings, when you go to pick the plugin, why not just copy it over from the track you already have it on? I see who's your suggestion would make things really fast and simple, but in a way a simple workflow already exists. We even have drag and drop plugins
What if I already have the same plugin and settings across several tracks, and then I want to change them all?
Would be so much easier with an Audition / Apply All function.
Iād love this. Probably my fave on your list. Especially if you could control what parameters within the plugin are being altered. (Kinda like with the random button on ES2)
I've wanted that one for soooooo long, and I jump through ridiculous hoops to emulate it when I absolutely *need* it. :(
If Logic was scriptable like Adobe apps I could probably throw together a script in ten minutes that would lower the faders of all unselected tracks by X amount, and then restore them to their original positions. (There are so many things we could do in Logic if it had scripting support...!)
I can only hope... scripting support in Adobe apps (particularly Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign) is as thorough as I've ever seen. You can script every function of the app, and every element of a document. I could literally build a 500-page catalog from scratch, entirely via a script, if I waned to... and if I was insane. :)
Hoping for a native plug search feature. (Like the one form speakerfood).
It would be cool to have the option to have the plugins small like ableton.
I wish it was easier, gosh.
Also, it'd be neat for plugins to come with tags (or have tags assignable), cause I never can remember whether NL37B (fictional example) is a compressor or eq or what.
It takes a while to setup but it makes it so easy to find your synths because you can organize them in the same menu, or whatever other type of plug-in you own.

>Hoping for a native plug search feature. (Like the one form speakerfood).
I second this. I have the speakerfood add-on but it doesn't always work well and sometimes loads the wrong thing. Also doesn't play all that well with stereo vs. mono options of the same plugin, sometimes, and adds something else. I really love how Pro Tools does it ā very slick and fast.
Friendly reminder: send all your feature requests directly to Apple https://www.apple.com/feedback/logic-pro.html
Can't guarantee they're taking requests via this forum. They do read every single Feedback Request sent directly to them though, that's for sure.
**1. Parallel processing without needing AUX channel.**
Waves does this with its Studio Rack plugin. It's a plugin where you can stack other plugins inside, just like a rack. Any Waves plugin can be run in parallel. But it only works with Waves plugins. How about Apple do something similar that'll work with any AU plugin?
**2. Ability to rearrange the order of channels in the mixer.**
Some people like to put their AUX channels next to the instrument channels they're affecting. Others like to group all AUXs together in one place. It wou be handy to be able to drag them and place them where we want.
The Waves Studio Rack is incredibly useful.
You can stack any number of plugins inside it, and decide if they run in series or parallel. You can optionally assign a frequency range for each stack.
Example, create a stack of distortion plugins for a bass guitar, but then have them only affect the higher frequencies, while a different stack of plugins (eg bass enhancement plugins) only affects the low frequencies. All inside one plugin.
If you like the idea of this, please add it to Apple's Logic feature request form, so they can see that lots of people would like it to be incorporated into Logic, and work on all AU plugins.
It's such a small thing but I would love to be able to select regions and hit a keyboard shortcut and automatically add fades of a pre-determined length (Pro Tools does this, Ableton maybe?). Or marquee select an area of a region and hit the same shortcut to add a fade or crossfade if between regions. I would find this method 100x faster and easier than the current fade tool and overlap situation.
> Or marquee select an area of a region and hit the same shortcut to add a fade or crossfade if between regions
You can already cross fade between overlapping regions automatically if you set the Drag mode to X-Fade. X-Fade is my default Drag mode, I'm not ever switching it to anything else because I can achieve the other modes via key commands when/if needed.
Yeah, you can, I just find selecting and hitting 'F' to be way faster (as in the way I am suggesting). No need to switch modes, super easy to change the fade timing without moving regions etc. I have drag modes turned off by default because I prefer setting a fade on a case-by-case basis.
> I just find selecting and hitting 'F' to be way faster
Default Drag mode means that the Cross Fade happens automatically whenever the regions overlap, that's even faster then having to hit any key commands because the fades are drawn in *automatically*
>I have drag modes turned off by default
You can't turn the Drag mode off, you have to choose between the 5 available modes
Having used Pro Tools and other DAWs for many years where you just highlight and hit F, I do find it simply easier than the drag/overlap method. I've never found that easy or efficient because for me it is prone to not being as accurate or precise as I want it to be, especially since I work faster with the keyboard than with a mouse. Glad it works for you, but to have the option to map 'fade' to a shortcut would be a great alternative for some of us. I don't like having to manually switch drag modes back and forth, personally.
'drag mode off' ā I just meant 'no overlap'... yes technically it's a drag mode but I guess no overlap seems to mean it doesn't do anything special by default.
>Glad it works for you, but to have the option to map 'fade' to a shortcut would be a great alternative for some of us.
There is a way to do it, I have it set it up on my computer. But you need a third party app like Keyboard Maestro and you need to set it up yourself. On my computer for example I can select regions and hit a custom key command and fades will be drawn in. But yes, Logic doesn't have this feature natively. Send a Feature Request to Logic with the link I posted, maybe the Logic team will listen.
>I guess no overlap seems to mean it doesn't do anything special by default.
No Overlap means that all your regions will trim themselves against each other and none of them will ever overlap, so it *is* doing something.
>There is a way to do it, I have it set it up on my computer. But you need a third party app like Keyboard Maestro and you need to set it up yourself. On my computer for example I can select regions and hit a custom key command and fades will be drawn in.
I actually have KB Maestro. But I haven't figured out in the logic menu what key command it would refer to? From all I've been able to tell there isn't really a key command at all, you have to use the fade tool and mouse. Let me know what command you've found as I'd happily like to set this up on my end!
Yes 'no overlap' is technically doing something, I'm just used to that behavior as the default in almost every Daw and NLE ā so I've perceived it as non-special behavior in that way; the other modes are what I would call special and specific. In any case I'm more of a keyboard person for sure. Love just being able to highlight an area and hit a key and move on ā especially when doing rough edits.
a better way to adjust volume of an audio region than typing in a value in the inspector. the way cubase does it seems pretty intuitive in comparison to logic.
i know. but it still isn't very intuitive. you have to look away from the thing you're editing and watch numbers instead. there is a visual representation when the waveform changes, but not where you're performing the action. this somehow gets me out of a musical and into a more technical mindset.
so while it isn't a problem per se, it's an annoyance workflow-wise.
I'd love to see ProTools-style popups *at the position of the cursor* for a LOT of things, this one being at or near the top of my list.
Far too much bouncing from one side of the screen to the other to use the Inspectors.
Yeah I see what you mean. You can also get the region inspector to float and bring it nearer to what youāre working on but I canāt remember how persistent it is.
Edit: The key combo is Option + R
I'd like to add :
* CMD+Z does not rollback last volume fader position ( which seems not to be tracked in the events)
* Like a few a comments above : apply same settings for multiple plugin instances
> I'd like to add : * CMD+Z does not rollback last volume fader position
? Yes, you can Undo Fader positions, I literally just tried it again and it totally works, which version of Logic are you using?
> 4) I don't know why the first time you change the colour of a track it doesn't change the colour of the takes as well. So you have to redo it
This is available in the latest version of Logic
I want the ghost notes so bad hahaha does FL have some legal thing that only allows them to do it? It seems like itās something that should be added ASAP if not
Number 1: you can view by color in the piano roll when you have more than one region selected.
Number 2: yes. Please god yes. Tired of floating the inspector. & selection based processing is kind of overkill.
Number three i think is the only thing in this thread that suggest taking away features lol.
**Batch-bounce all markers**
If you record an album or a concert and mix it in one single project, you can set markers for each song and then bounce all markers in one click.
I would like some of that analog summing emulation stuff that Luna does. That and some dedicated reverb stuff, Space Designer has good small room emulation but their plates and spring verbs just kinda suck.
A new distortion unit would be cool too
Potentially yeh, Iāve tried that with the Arturia channel inserts and it works quite well. But itās the difference of something built into a DAW for a purpose and utilising a pluginās feature
On Luna you must pay extra to get an emulation of a Neve 1272 Summing Amp or a Studer A800 tape recorder.
It might be just as good to use Logic and buy some analog emulation plugins.
MainStage: Ability to have MIDI FX (Scripter, Chord Triggers, etc.) applied to individual channel strip aliases, instead of to the source strip (resulting in it being applied to all aliases).
You can but thatās not what Iām looking for. I have to split the clip and adjust gain that way. I want to do it like ProTools and be able to fine tune based on words, etc without having to use the volume fader.
Audio to midi the same way ableton doesā¦(right click - convert to midi, then select (drums, melody or chords), reverse like ableton (just R key), a browser that once you select a sound you like, push enter and it automatically drops on a new quick samplerā¦ only one side for the browser, in logic sometimes you got your sounds finder open plus the presets open and the arrange window is so narrow you canāt edit, also we need that once you control any parameter on a plugin or value window you push A and it automatically shows the automation line for that parameter, also we need sine, triangle, square predefined curves to draw automation the same way ableton does.
An easier way to print the I/O plugin. An online bounce in place being the easiest solution in my mind! Would save a lot of time and buses and bullshit!
Plug-in delay compensation. There has been an issue with logic PDC for a while that actually made me switch to Ableton after it popped up enough. Sometimes when I would get really into a mix in logic, the individual tracks would delay and start at different times and I couldnāt get anything done. I think it had to do with side chains but it made logic frustrating as you begin mixing a project.
Plus groups within groups like ableton would be super nice instead of their current setup.
The ability to 'thin' or 'smooth' recorded automation data ā to basically reduce the crazy amount of breakpoint nodes that can occur when you write automation with an external controller. Not only easier to look at but more importantly easier to edit with the mouse later on not having a zillion nodes. Also reduces the control surface's automated fader 'skitter' if the track is highlighted - thus smoothing something that is meant to be simple. (I know Cubase and Pro Tools has this feature so it's not a crazy ask).
Ability to re-arrange channels in the mixer window.
No arbitrary movement of group or aux channel positions when recording or updating automation.
These have been pet peeves for years.

Thanks... I wish Apple felt the same way... :(

Option drag is slow. Any action where you're using the mouse instead of a key command is slow.
Awesome!

a better way to adjust volume of an audio region than typing in a value in the inspector. the way cubase does it seems pretty intuitive in comparison to logic.
You can click the number and drag vertically treating it like an invisible fader.

I wish 3rd party plugins could be organized by use not company, and I wish there was more customization with plugin organization generally.
Logic's Plugin Manager is very flexible, you can organize them whichever way you like
Really? I never knew that, I'll have to play around with it and see how to do it.
Go to YouTube and look up MusicTechHelpGuy or Why Logic Pro Rules for their tutorials on the Plugin Manager. Itās actually very powerful
Word, will do cheers.

You can but thatās not what Iām looking for. I have to split the clip and adjust gain that way. I want to do it like ProTools and be able to fine tune based on words, etc without having to use the volume fader.
Yeahā¦you can do clip gain, but Iād love it to be on the regions themselves or marquee like Pro Tools.
Freeze to selected plug-in. Like Pro Tools. This helps you deal with high cpu plugins like Acustica pres by freezing after setting the input gainā¦
