This guitar track had flex pitch set for it. I changed it to Polyphonic, but it still sound awful. Indeed, when I turned flex off altogether, it still sounds quite bad. I made a little movie to show the difference in sound between Logic Pro and the file in the Finder. I had flex polyphonic engaged when recording the movie, but it still sounds just as bad when I turn it off. All effects are off on the Stereo Out and the track stack as well as the guitar track. How can that sound so bad in Logic Pro? It is as if the audio was transformed once flex had been engaged and turned off.

PS I'd really love to know an easy way to record the screen with the sound. In Quicktime, there are only inputs to select sound from. I had to setup a camera to record this.
 
Well, it wasn't even 5 minutes and I found the problem and solution. Turning Freeze off cured it.
Okay then, does this imply that Freeze makes tracks sound bad? What could be going on? This project has well over 100 tracks and it taxes my computer so I thought it was a good practice to freeze. Should one unfreeze all tracks before mixing?
