Is anyone still have problems with Flex Pitch in Logic Pro X in 2024 ?

I'm still having terrible artifacts in my audio when I use this, especially after switching between the Flex Pitch and then moving segments in monophonic mode to align vocals. I find that after bouncing the tracks, they are full of pops, cuts outs, and clicks, YIKES ! I never liked Logic Pro X when it came to using pitch controls, but I thought that by 2024 these bugs would have been all worked out. The artifacts are so bad, that I will have to bounce my tracks out to Cubase and use that DAW instead. I spent 2 full days aligning vocals, and then the end result I discovered was unusable. It's very disappointing for Apple's flagship software to be so useless. Has anyone found any workarounds, or is anyone aware of any bugfixes in the works?

No, this is only a user forum. There is and never was any statement of a developer or from Apple except from Mods or community specialists... There are other Logic forum's that claim to have contact with developers.


Has anyone found any workarounds

These are my personal solutions or ways to get used to it:


1. Precondition: Every "mode change" (change of flex algorithm), e.g. from flex pitch to monophonic, every change of quantization grid format, destroys all the steps you have done manually up to that point. This is indeed quite annoying.


I usually bounce (in place) the steps I've done so far, regardless of whether it's Flex Pitch or laboriously manually edited quantizations (usually by Slicing, but it depends on the material). What I've never tried is the command "Apply Quantization Permanently" which works perfectly with midi.... I / we need to try and reseach it!


2. Workflow to avoid or decrease artefacts ("pops, cuts outs, and clicks, YIKES"):

I edit the quantized tracks manually, mostly by simply deleting or less often by moving flex markers. However, it is important to bounce the edit before changing the quantization grid values or flex algorithms.
