If I create a new Software Instrument track and select a third party instrument like LABS or UA Massive during track creation, the instrument slot on the channel strip does not appear and the instrument doesn't load. However, if I first load a stock Logic instrument on a Software Instrument track and then replace it with LABS or UA Massive, the plugin loads and works normally. Has anyone else seen this behavior, or found a fix for third party instruments not initiating during track creation? I’m running Logic Pro on an Intel Mac. All third party plugins validate correctly in Plug-in Manager, no AU issues, and Rosetta is not applicable.

Hey everyone, We're hosting a brand new, free 3-day event next week called Mixing with Channel Strips. It starts Monday Dec 15th at 10am Eastern (earlier than usual). I'll be mixing a song from start to finish, using only channel strips. This is a great way to force yourself to focus on core principles, while also keeping things simple and adding analog character. On day 3, we'll also master the track, and listen to your submitted mixes, with prizes for the best. This event is hosted in partnership with SSL and Slate Digital, and I'll be using a range of channel iconic channels trips from both companies (software and hardware). You can find the event here in the Calendar tab, or click the link below to go straight there. Then you can add it to your personal calendar and grab the Zoom link. https://www.skool.com/mastering/calendar?eid=fc5533346b734994a379288bf44237bf&eoid=1765810800 See you there! Rob

So I made a track yesterday and as usual, I put autotune on my vocals (on a slow setting) without really thinking, just to stabilise them like we're shown in the course. But actually, I was listening and there were loads of glitchy artefacts, and instead of trying to mess about with Melodyne to fix the artefacts, I tried the novel approach of removing Autotune altogether and going commando. And to me, it sounds way better. So to tune or not to tune, that is the question. Love to hear your thoughts on this.
