Logic Pro x 11.2 automation bypass don't work

Yes, it doesn't work properly. I use Logic project for playing backing tracks / automating live efx on vocals. All was done on previous LPro version 10.7.x, there everything worked. After updating to the newest version, saved bypass automations still work, but they are labeled by numbers with "unused" remark in bracket and I cannot add new bypass automations as they are simply not available. Very annoying bug !

EDIT: just few mins ago a Logic 11.2.1. update notification popped up and after the installation everything works as it should. Perfect, thanks !

Hi,

This def looks weird.

• Have you tried using "Latch" and automating the bypass function?
• Conversely, enable "automation parameter in read mode" and just click on the bypass buttons and they should automatically show up in the Automation Parameter menu?
• Lastly, the Q4 should have a Mix blend knob that you can use as a quasi bypass if automated.

You should report this:

Thanks for letting us know. The automation bypass issue seems like it's been addressed. I found all the bypass controls listed under "main". See screenshot from 11.2.1. In 11.2 I was not able to find some of these bypass parameters anywhere, but now all plugin bypass controls are listed.

@QuantumVerse111 this does not seem to be a "software glitch" kind of problem, and probably the thread could have been better named. The issue is not so much that the automation "does not work" but more that by accident or design version 11.2 has removed the "bypass" function of most plugins from the available automation parameters. The best work-around seems to be using the "latch" mode to make Logic generate a new automation lane for the relevant bypass control, which worked quite well for me (most of the time). Hopefully this will be addressed in the next update, as many people seem to be having a problem with it based on this thread.

If automation bypass isn’t working in Logic Pro X 11.2, it could be due to a software glitch, incorrect automation mode, or plugin-specific behavior. Automation bypass is meant to temporarily disable automation for selected tracks, but in some versions, especially after updates, it may not function as expected. This could be caused by corrupted preference files, third-party plugin conflicts, or the automation not being properly written or read by Logic. Also, automation may remain active if the track is set to “Read” instead of “Off.” Resetting Logic’s preferences or updating plugins and Logic itself can help resolve the issue.

Looks like logic 11.2.1 just came out and it fixed the issue! Make sure to update

The fastest way to get it fixed is to report it. The Apple Team does read these.

Make sure to notify Apple right away... this could be extremely valuable. It's the most effective method to catch the attention of the Logic Pro team.

On a side note, getting rid of your Prefence List has helped me solve this issue in the past as QuantumVerse111 pointed out.

Hey all. 11.2.1 was released an hour ago.

As soon as I posted about this Automation problem a couple of days ago I got an Apple email notification saying that I had an "upvote" and thanking me. The message also described that this thread had been viewed 976 times, so my first question is why is that 976 times info not shown in the thread so that people can see the level of interest? There seems to me to be a lot of shared interest/concern about this problem, so my second question is why doesn't Apple respond and/or fix this problem? I'm not able to find a workaround. Referring to the response here from QuantumVerse111, "...it could be due to a software glitch..." Everything I've seen, including a lengthy thread about this at the Facebook Logic Pro users group that began on May 30, describes the same thing - that it's a problem with the update to 11.2. A software glitch that needs to be fixed, right?

I always stay one version behind because of this on my main station. I also back-up an extra copy of the Logic Pro app just in case.

I retitle the app (for ex: Logic Pro 10.5.1) so the update does not replace the copy.

Hope that helps gentleman,

Eddie G.

I have the same problem. I tried the Touch and Latch method as a workaround. They seemed to work, but then I had problems with trying to manually add extra data points to the automation once it was created. The plugin did not seem to follow the manually added points or there was a delay of some sort, as I'd see the plugin Bypass button go off despite the automation lane showing non-bypass at the same point. Seems a bit hit or miss, but will experiment more. I was using Melodyne Essential on Logic Pro 11.2 on a Mac Mini M4.
