Keep track of multiple song versions with Project Alternatives
•track multiple versions of songs with project alternatives
Keeping track of different versions of a song arrangement or mix can be a headache. Does this song sound better with an eight- or a 16-bar chorus? Vocal up or vocal down? So with that in mind, Apple’s engineers have provided a way to easily save and keep tabs on multiple versions of the same song within a single project file. This way you can keep different versions saved at various stages during the process of the song’s development or alternative variations of a final mix. Somewhat overlooked in Logic’s vast lexicon of features, Project Alternatives allows you to flip between versions, going back to ideas you may have abandoned prematurely before they’re consigned to the wastebasket. Let’s see how it’s done.
