Answer 1

How to Add Sustain to MIDI in Logic Pro

To add sustain to a MIDI recording in Logic Pro, you can follow these steps:

1. Open your project in Logic Pro and select the MIDI track you want to edit.
2. Open the Piano Roll editor by double-clicking on the MIDI region or by pressing 'P' on your keyboard.
3. Look for the MIDI Draw area at the bottom of the Piano Roll editor, which might be hidden. If it is, click the button with three horizontal lines in the upper left corner of the editor to show the MIDI Draw area.
4. In the MIDI Draw area, you'll find a drop-down menu where you can select different MIDI controllers. Select 'Sustain' or 'Sustain Pedal' from this menu.
5. Now you can draw in the sustain data. Click and drag with the pencil tool to create a line that represents when the sustain should be applied or released. A high value (usually 127) represents the sustain pedal being pressed down, and a low value (usually 0) represents it being lifted.

After you've drawn in the sustain, play back your track to ensure the sustain has been added where you wanted it. You can also edit or adjust the sustain points as needed by clicking and dragging them up or down.
