Logic Pro experts I need your help

[N 4 LIFE]

Hi,
So all of the sudden when bouncing files out of Logic Pro all the metadata fields will not appear. I used to be able to title the songs, put in tracks numbers, composer info, publishing company, etc.
Now that info box will not come up at all. Help! Anyone else having this issue?
I'm using Logic 10.7.2 on a Late 2019 MBP.

OP here. I figured it out. After hitting Command B and the bounce options come onto the screen, clicking the MP3 box twice used to bring up the metadata screen. That doesn't work now. Now you have to click on the white space to the right of the MP3 checkbox and the metadata boxes show up. They used to be grey, now they are white. All the same boxes are there though. Hope this helps anyone else encountering this issue.

I'm not aware of any fo those hidden click actions nor the reason why they would be necessary.
In the Bounce Window, you select the mp3 option in the window pane on the left. Once you enable the mp3 checkbox, the parameters on the right become active and when you enable the "Write ID3 tags" the ID3 Setting button becomes active. Click on it and the window will all the metadata opens up.

Nope.
Clicking/checking the MP3 box stopped working 8 months ago on my machine. Heading into the white space at the right and click does bring up all the boxes which used to be black/green and now they are all white with black text. Mac Ventura 13.1, Logic, whatever the latest is....

Two separate things:-

- Checking the box adds the MP3 export to the bounce process.
- Clicking on the menu option text to the right of the checkbox, ie the actual menu option, selects that export type's options in the window for editing.

In short, the menu text lets you access the parameters for that format, and checking/unchecking the box tells Logic whether you actually want to export that format in the bounce operation.

However, in earlier versions - eg, 10.4.x, 10.5.x, 10.6.x clicking a format checkbox would *also* select that menu option, the effect being when you ticked a format, it's parameters would also automatically be selected.

In the current version (10.7.7, but I don't know how far back it goes, probably 10.7.x generally), this behaviour is different - now clicking on a checkbox *does not* also select that menu item, so you can enable a format without changing which format bounce parameters are displayed in the dialog.

10.4.x to 10.6.x behaviour:-

I don't know whether this was an intentional change, or a bug (could be either) but the thing to remember is above - the checkbox, and the menu for that format trigger different things. If you want to edit the parameters of a format, just select it's name to access them.

You could put metadata to WAVs in logic?

I know exactly what you're talking about. beely explains and visually shows it perfectly. It used to be checking the box would reveal its parameters, but you need to, as you say, click on the white space (beely's is black) to the right of the name. I even went on the Logic forum to find out "what the hell happened to being able to input my song info, damn it?" before stumbling on the answer, myself.
