    @belcarra Před 11 měsíci +1

    Awesome track! I think if you're gonna work on this a little more the ambience should be much more prominent in the _second_ half, as a big part of that IA feel (and thall in general but that's not the point here) is the ambience filling in the blank space that the other instruments leave. IA themselves have talked a bit about just vibing to their own ambiences without any other instruments, so keep that in mind lol. Keep up the good work!

      Omg I had this problem about a year ago and it nearly killed me. Not saying this is the only way to fix it but what I ended up having to do was wipe my entire computer and restore a back up. Not sure what the cause actually was. I remember trying SO many things to fix it though. Maybe try doing a fresh reinstall of Logic if you’ve already tried many other things? Good luck man 😅
