For new Logic Pro users

Just a suggestion.
Most users using professional software do not leave "Check For Updates" enabled, all Auto Updating is disabled. This way you can check what effect new updates are having on programs like Logic-X, Final-Cut-X....etc. If you have a system that's running well and using Logic_Pro is important to you consider the desirability of an update only for an update's sake, if the update doesn't address a specific problem you're having, wait until a few brave foo... uh, users try it out for you.

GREAT!
Everybody should read this and follow.
Thank you so much Pancenter.

Provide Feedback for the Logic Pro User Manual and Onscreen Help Here

The Apple documentation team for Logic Pro would like to know what you think about the Logic Pro Help documentation (available in the Help menu):
• How often do you use Logic Pro Help? Under what circumstances do you use it most?
• Do you use the printed manual or the onscreen help more? Which one do you prefer?
• How do you find what you're looking for in Logic Help: table of contents, index, skimming, PDF links, PDF search?
• What do you like about the Logic help?
• What would you like to see us improve? What is missing?
• What needs more in-depths coverage in the Logic help?
• In learning Logic, did you use the Logic Getting Started Guide? If so, do you feel the book provided a good introduction to the application? Is there anything you can think of that would make the Getting Started Guide more helpful to you? Did you use the tutorial song that accompanies the Getting Started guide?
• What are the most important concepts/features a new user has to understand to get started with Logic?
• By what method do you ususally learn a new application? For example: provided manuals, third-pary tutorials or books, training classes?
• Are there any particular examples of manuals or online help that you consider to be good models for the Logic Pro manual and onscreen help?
• What do you think is the most difficult feature/concept to grasp in Logic Pro?
• What's the most frustrating experience you've had with the Logic Pro documentation?
• Are there any other methods of delivery or media you think we should explore?
• What size of computer display do you typically use to view the onscreen help? For example: 12, 15, 17, 20, 23, or 30-inch?
• What resolution is the computer display set to when viewing Onscreen Help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280 x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
• Do you use multiple computer displays?

• How often do you use Logic Pro Help? Under what
circumstances do you use it most?
I use it often. not everyday, but there is always some little command or procedure that you can't remember
• Do you use the printed manual or the onscreen help
more? Which one do you prefer?
I use them both, but the onscreen help a little more often. Some times I like to walk away from the computer and sit on the couch and read the manual, just to have a change of scenery
• How do you find what you're looking for in Logic
Help: table of contents, index, skimming, PDF links,
PDF search?
Table of contents and search
• What do you like about the Logic help?
It's right there on the computer, and being able to search by key words
• What would you like to see us improve? What is
missing?
I think real time animation would be real cool but I doubt that is practical
• What needs more in-depths coverage in the Logic
help?
Things that Logic has and you won't find in other programs, like explaining the environment in more detail. how to make better use of transformers. The Transform window could be explained more clearly.
• In learning Logic, did you use the Logic Getting
Started Guide? If so, do you feel the book provided a
good introduction to the application? Is there
anything you can think of that would make the Getting
Started Guide more helpful to you? Did you use the
tutorial song that accompanies the Getting Started
guide?
I didn't use it, although it looks great, I went right into the reference manual. I did look at the tutorial song, which was nice cause it gave me some hands on experience with moving things around
• What are the most important concepts/features a new
user has to understand to get started with Logic?
Logic is different that other DAW's. Logic's way of doing things may seem real strange to someone who came from using another program. as I said before, spend more time on things that are only found in Logic, like the environment. It really frightens some people.
Many of the questions here in this forum are midi related. people seem to be having a real hard time making midi work in Logic. The manual could be more detailed in explaining midi communication and how the environment is the heart of all of this
• By what method do you usually learn a new
application? For example: provided manuals,
third-pary tutorials or books, training classes?
Provided manuals and a lot of trial and error. Also forums such as this are a great asset
• Are there any particular examples of manuals or
online help that you consider to be good models for
the Logic Pro manual and onscreen help?
No, logic's manual is as good as most others.
• What do you think is the most difficult
feature/concept to grasp in Logic Pro?
For me it was the transform window, it took me a while to get the hang of it. none of the other programs I worked in had anything quite like it.
• What's the most frustrating experience you've had
with the Logic Pro documentation?
there are a few errors, so it is frustrating when you are following the manual but not achieving your goal. For example, page 112 says:
There are two possible locations for user icons:
The ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Logic Resources/Icons folder can contain icons which are only valid for the particular user (~ is the user name). If you save your icons in the root directory—/Library/Application Support/Logic/Logic Resources/Icons—the icons are valid for all users. If icons with identical numbers exist in both folders, the icons found in the user folder have priority.
But this is not the case, they actually go in /Library/Application Support/Logic/images/Icons
there was a couple other mistakes like this too, but i can't remember right now
• Are there any other methods of delivery or media
you think we should explore?
If you wanted to get into doing video tutorial, that would be cool. there is a web site called atomic learning http://www.atomiclearning.com/ they have quicktime video tutorials for a ton of different software applications, some apple, and for a flat fee of 79.99 for a year you can spend as much time as you like learning all of the software applications. I may sign up to learn Web design, and maybe final cut pro. Apple could do something like that for all of the apple software and do it much better I would think, and you guys would make a fortune. well I guess not compared to the fortune you are already making
• What size of computer display do you typically use
to view the onscreen help? For example: 12, 15, 17,
20, 23, or 30-inch?
20 in cinema display
• What resolution is the computer display set to when
viewing Onscreen Help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280
x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
1344 X 840
• Do you use multiple computer displays?
no, just the one

Bootcamp or parallels for new macbook pro user

I am about to make the switch from pc and purchase one of the new macbook pros that came out today. I don't fully understand how bootcamp and parallels work yet and which would be better for my needs.
I am an architect and will need to run windows for 3d modeling and rendering occasionally. Most likely I will have to use XP pro since Vista isn't yet supported in my work environment. Although I am used to pc operating systems, I think most of the rest of my work could be done using a mac os. Ideally, I would be able to use both simultaneously, but I have heard that parallels is slow.
any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Hi,
personally I don't use Fusion but Parallels.
Both claim that they can use an existing BootCamp Windows partition for creating their Virtual Machines.
However there are a lot of postings that this worked for one and that this has destroyed the BootCamp Windows for others.
For myself I have a BootCamp Windows XP and Parallels with an old Windows 2000 I had lying around.
If you let Fusion use your BootCamp Windows for creating its VM, then there should be no need to reinstall the Windows programs, although it could happen that you have the reenter serial numbers for these programs.
A reformat is not neccessary since Fusion puts the Virtual machine (which in fact consists of 2-3 files) on your OSX partition.
Given the fact that you most certainly need a BootCamp Windows in order to run your architecture programs, I would propose to this first.

New York Logic Pro Users Group – Meeting Announcement

_*New York Logic Pro Users Group – Meeting Announcement_*
The next meeting of the NY Logic Pro Users Group will be next Tuesday, October 21st, 6PM, at Dale Pro Audio in Manhattan.
Dale is located at 22 W. 19th St., Manhattan, NY.
This meeting will allow users to share their favorite tips and techniques in Logic, as well as their projects, with User Group members.
Jonathan and Steve will cover special topics, in particular how to deal with manage and synchronize multiple cues when scoring to picture.
The local NYC Apple Store's Logic guru will be in attendance as well.
If you plan on attending, and haven't done so already, please RSVP to [email protected]
*NYLPUG is brought to you by Mac Audio Trainers.*

I can't say enough good things about Redmatica, and Andrea in particular.
I've found and reported a handful of issues I found in Keymap, and in each case I had the issue confirmed, and a new build sent to me at most within a couple of days, often much sooner, with the issue fixed. If only Apple were more like that...
Keymap is a stunning piece of software that, in conjunction with Logic (or other soft samplers) make creating sampled instrument content (almost) a pleasure.
Have a good one - do you video these sessions for people who can't attend..?

Set up a QT Streaming Server or FlashComm Server... then, I can be there. :-D
Jord... you got me thinking. The event will be filmed and I will post a Quicktime video on my website after the week end. I have also opened a new thread where all those who won't be able to attend can post their questions to Apple.
Saturday night, we will have a big Q&A session with Bob Hunt and I will try to ask as many of those questions as possible, and then report back with the answers after the meeting.

I am a new Macbook Pro user (just the 13" baby). I have an external DVD drive and would like to load onto my Mac and then onto my iPad - how do I do this?

I am a new MacBook Pro user - actually totally new to the Mac goodies and am having a bit of trouble sorting out how to get a DVD from my external DVD player onto the Mac and then onto my iPad (I travel a lot!). I have been a windows user for many years and am still trying to learn all the bits and pieces. I have VLC on this - don't have any trouble playing a DvD, just don't know how to do the rest i.e. rip it, change to an MP4 and get it onto my other device. Please help! You are more than likely to see many more "how do I do this" on here!

program called MDRP to rip it...... then use Wondershare to convert it, also Iskysoft video converter is an option.
You dont have to put it ON the Ipad, once on the Mac, you can Stream it wifi to the Ipad using the $2 program called VLC STREAMER (not VLC, but streamer made by VLC),.... best APP for your Ipad to stream videos from your MAC to your Ipad.

Where can I find a list of the 1600 /- instruments included in the new Logic Pro X?

Greetings,
Where can I find a list of the 1600+/- instruments included in the new Logic Pro X?
Thanks all!

AFAIK, there is no master list. If you have the Silicon Prairie "Tools" utilities, you can compile your own lists. See: Silicon Prairie - FrameMaker Products
The best approach is to simply use the Copy Special to pick up the paragraph and character styles that you want to add to your new template and build the template piecemeal, i.e. create one FM file for your tables, another for your page layouts/sizes, another for your tags, cross-refs, etc. Then combine those as required to build the final template. This Lego-like approach is much more flexible and allows you to modify base-components and quickly make a new brand new template.

My basic content download wont complete for my logic pro?

Same thing is also happening is Logic Pro X... but I have not seen or found links to the new Logic Pro X additional and basic content downloads.
ART OF NOISE helped with Logic 9 by offering up the following :
However, to resolve this... use these external links and download and then install all the essential and additional content instead.

As a new Macbook Pro user I was saddened to find that the feature of using keywords in iPhoto '11 does not allow showing same under each photo. I understand this was available in earlier versions. Any comments?

Against TOU which you "agreed" to in order to post in these user to user forums. If you want to "suggest" something to Apple, do so in the Product Feedback area.

Best workflow for editing Logic Pro 8 regions/tracks in Soundtrack Pro?

I've searched for a solution for the below question in several forums and to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help!
What is the easiest workflow for editing Logic Pro 8 audio files with Soundtrack Pro 2? And I'm thinking of a process very similar to the Final Cut Pro timeline audio-to- Soundtrack Pro Audio File project workflow.
I'd imagine that a good amount of the time, I'd be editing regions rather than full audio files -- as in, once in a while, while mixing sessions that another engineer has tracked, I'll hear clicks and pops from pre-amps clipping; or I'll hear an air conditioner blower running or something.
Basically, I occasionally hear noise in the arrange window while mixing that I'd like to edit out with Soundtrack Pro, and I need to know the easiest way to send that audio clip to Soundtrack Pro and then back to Final Cut Pro.

Connecting your FS Mobile to powered speakers will not increase latency. Latency is simply the fixed amount of time it takes for your computer to process sounds. Once the sound is processed and available at the outputs of the FS Mobile, it can go anywhere; to a PA mixer, a separate monitor mixer, headphones, etc. One thing you will want to consider when playing live is to have a personal monitor very close to you and pretty loud. The reason being is that the physical distance between you and the main PA speakers will itself induce a type of latency since sound travels at about 1126 ft/sec or 1000 msec of delay for every 1126 feet. Adding this delay to your latency could make holding a groove or pitch for that matter nearly impossible. The delays add up pretty quickly. For example, if your speakers are say 50 feet away from you, you would likely have around 20 msec of delay right there. Add this to your system latency of 20 msec and your up to 40 msec which is like trying to play a rubber guitar underwater. Even if your PA speakers are closer, the delays add up quickly. So having that nice loud monitor right up next to you will insure that you only have to get the feel of your system latency.
