I’ve been using Logic for years, and one thing that has always bothered me is browsing normal MIDI files.

If you have a larger MIDI library, filenames usually tell you very little about what is actually inside. My workaround for a long time was dragging batches of MIDI files into Live Loops, putting an instrument on the track and auditioning them there. It works, but it is obviously not a very convenient browser.

So I eventually built a small plugin specifically around that workflow.

cueMIDI lets you browse MIDI files from folders, preview them in sync with Logic through the instrument you are actually using, transpose them if needed, and drag the MIDI you want straight into the project.

For Logic there is a dedicated AU MIDI FX version, so it sits directly in the MIDI FX slot (there's also a VST3 version).

I deliberately kept it pretty minimal. No database, no tagging system, no MIDI generation, no library management/ database. It is basically just the workflow I always wanted Logic to have for MIDI files.

There is a demo if anyone wants to try it:

Happy to answer any Logic-specific questions about how it works.

so i've a macbook air m1 8/256 bought 2 years ago for my education and later realised this macbook can't handle some amount of plugins and sometimes lags when i open youtube with logic pro , the catch is the current mac can handle basic stuff

basically most of work is done in my bedroom i don't go to studios and i travel a lot here and there

so i thought i'd buy the mac mini m6 16 or 24 gigs one and use it at home and carry those logic file in mac m1 and i can play or modify those files on mac m1

Do you guys think it's good investment and in my country the m6 mini is country 81-89k ie 810-900$

Everytime i tries to move a patch onto the instrument tracks it just crashes immediately. This only happens when i do this on my external monitor and the problem do not exist on my iPad. Does anyone know what causes this?

Hi everyone! I’ve just got a MacBook Pro and I’m going to be using Logic Pro to start creating some music.
I’m looking at microphones at the moment and would love some recommendations. I’m mainly wanting to record vocals, but I’d also like to record some of my sound healing instruments, particularly crystal singing bowls.
I have a Roland FP-90 digital piano too, which I believe I can connect via MIDI.
I’m hoping to buy something good quality that will last, rather than buying something cheap and having to upgrade later on.
I’m assuming I might need different microphones for vocals and instruments, but I’m not really sure where to start!
What microphones are you using and would you recommend them? Any advice would be really appreciated ✌️
