As a rule, I work on the loudest track first, optimise it using whatever processing is required, then bounce it to a new 24-bit interleaved AIFF file. That's because, when you're mastering the different tracks that will comprise an album, it helps to pick one track, optimise that, and then use it as a yardstick for the other tracks you need to work on. However, even if this bug did not exist, there is still an advantage in inserting your mastering processing into a normal stereo Track Audio object. The Aux object can then feed the main stereo outputs. One workaround for this is to route all the tracks and busses to another Output object (3+4 for example), and then send to your external hardware from that, returning the externally processed audio via an Aux Audio object set to unity gain.

It's probably worth mentioning here, though, that the current version of Logic seems to have a bug that prevents the I/O plug-in working properly when inserted into the main stereo output Audio object. For mastering, you'll obviously need the stereo version, and if you're digitally connecting external hardware, you'll either need to set the unit to external sync or else run everything in your system from a master clock generator. The plug-in lets you select a physical output to use as an insert send, and a physical input to use as your insert return. Incorporating External HardwareĪccessing the DC2476, or any other external hardware processor for that matter, within Logic can be neatly achieved using the I/O plug-in (available from the Helper plug-in submenu), provided that you have at least two spare inputs and outputs on your interface. I don't know why, but it sounds more 'analogue' than any other digital processor I've used.

Although I've tried a whole range of mastering plug-ins, including the System 6000-inspired TC Electronic Powercore ones, the Waves suite, and independent products such as the PSP Vintage Warmer, I'm constantly amazed that my Drawmer DC2476 Masterflow hardware box still beats the pants off them all. Since the demise of Digidesign's Sound Designer II as a mainstream editing platform, I've ended up doing virtually all my mastering within Apple Logic Pro, compiling and processing individual tracks before switching to Roxio's Jam to compile my album master.
