Q: Project for album (several tracks) approach?

Hi. What is the correct approach for full-length album work?

 

Let's say, I have to have several audio tracks to have for album, most of tracks have same basic settings/plugins/etc + automation. But they should sound consistent to each other and I don't really want to transfer settings every time I change/tune something.

 

BUT at this point I don't see how to dial with it within one Logic Pro X project. Things like MIDI to multiple tracks (drums, for example), bounce/export, freeze - works for whole project, meaning it take a lot of time and disk space.

Exporting stems from selection is also weird - they don't start from same place.

 

In Reaper which I used before, there were Regions. You can select some part of a project, mark as a Region and then free to do within this one anything. Also, there where sub-projects. You could make some stuff separately and then just embed it as is inside any track.

 

Just to be clear: working with this I expect it to be easy and convenient to export some part, not all project. But seems like Logic is more oriented to project as an album track.

 

Not a pro music engineer yet, so hopefully there's something I missed.

Thanks in advance for advice.

Logic Pro X, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
