IS LOGIC PRO RIGHT FOR ME?

I would like to start creating my own house music. Is logic pro x the right fit for me ?
Can I use the software without having to buy add ons?
If it is the right fit, which tutorial would you recommend for a total amateur with a lot of heart?

Why not check online and see what your favorite producers are using. Find music you like, in the genre you prefer and and see what's being used.

    You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

  • Premier Pro Right For Me?

    As a former Final Cut Pro 7 multicam user I am now faced with a dilemma; I have changed and AVC HD format which FCP7 very well apple. Moreover, I am not interested in switching over to FCP X since I do not want to upgrade to Mavericks OS X where in I have heard about 50% of professionals not pleased with the performance very. The house, I must consider another avenue of professional video.
    My film in AVC HD from Canon pro cameras chemicals are looked at at the media composer, grass Valley Eddie's Pro seven, and now Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. I currently own adobe Ps CS5 and lLr 5 in the room am guessing that premiere Pro is my best. I use a Mac book Pro Retina 2.7 GHz, 16 Gb 1600 ram, with solid-state hard drive an external thunderbolt SATA drive in a thunderbolt/SATA dock with most of my editing being read or more cameras in multicam.
    Thus, is Premier Pro right for me? And, does anyone know if there is a cross grade discount?
    Please feel free to ask any questions and look forward to many responses especially those who might already have made the same changeover.

    As a "cloud" user, well ... you mileage may vary ... but for the single monthly fee one does get rather a lot ... for that, one gets, if one wants:
    Premiere Pro NLE, always newest updates;
    Speedgrade; color grading program, doesn't need to "export" anything out from P-Pro to work on a project, just using a menu item in P-Pro to go directly to grading in Sg;
    AfterEffects, for fx, titling, color corrections/distortions, whatever; again, send directly from P-Pro without export/render needed;
    Adobe Media Encoder for choosing output formats/codecs/specifics;
    Photoshop for its ability to work on specific frames, stills, and now video footage internally;
    Prelude, to do your project uploads and prep-work in;
    ... heck, Illustrator if you want ... whatever.
    I'm currently running what WOULD have cost me a couple thousand a year (figuring most taking say an 18 month "update" cycle) in Adobe software for $588/year. I'm not complaining ... I have spent near that most years of the last decade with Adobe for simply Lightroom and Photoshop. I simply could not have justified the number of Adobe suite products I use daily now prior to the Cloud. So, I'm not upset with them ... rather, for me, it's been a huge benefit.
    There are problems with Adobe software too, as with FCP ... as I've read the FCP forums with people cussing out the newest iteration there. Yep, that happens. Adobe is working very hard at integrating prep, project uploading/management, NLE, fx, grading, and out-put into a process without "borders" ... where each application works on common files and projects without needing any export/import and cross-conversions/transcoding/you-name-it.
    This isn't handled perfectly yet ... I've been one of the ones with a totally crashed project just last week. But mostly ... it makes it a HECK of a lot easier for me to work without having to work out the details of which codec to trans-code into to get the NLE to do it's best work, then ... how to get that proxied or whatever into an fx program ... then how to get that BACK into the NLE for final editing ... then exported out to a grading program for tonality/color ... you get the picture.
    I've given Adobe some hades, but then ... got right back to working. And all in all, it is working for me, as a dang newbie, and looking good. But then, I'm only working .mov files. Coupled with stills and other things, but ... all working mostly smoothly. Through several programs.
    Now ... there are some people here on the Adobe forums who ONLY use say CS6, do everything including tonality/color/titling in there, and don't want anything else, no audio programs, no specialized grading of fx programs, and for them ... the "Cloud" wouldn't be sensible. Why spend the money for something that does everything you're going to do? I understand that. It's not what will work for me, but who cares? It works fine for them.
    So ... will you be wanting/needing to use a color grading program, perhaps an audio editor? fx? If "yes", looking at the whole CC 'Suite' of products might be wise. If not ... just get P-Pro CS6 would probably work fine.

  • 32-bit plugins in Logic Pro X (for Free)

    There's still a few essential plugins many of use which haven't become 64-bit just yet... (e.g. Sylenth).
    There are a few ways to run them in a au/vst host and get that into Logic... namely: VEPro and Plogue Bidule. Both of these solutions hit the wallet, so I've found a way to use FREE tools to do much the same thing using Apple's AU Lab and Soundflower.
    I've written up a tutorial here:
    http://www.macprovideo.com/hub/logic-pro/how-to-run-32-bit-plug-ins-in-logic-pro -x
    Hope it helps,

    Hi, Q
    Go to the Macprovideo site.
    When you get the home page loaded, scroll down until you see a section called MPV Hub on the left side of the page. [At present it's under a series of banners for the Logic X Tutorials]
    On the right hand side is a heading 1697 Articles with a blue link under saying See All.
    Click the link and scroll the first MPV Hub page You'll see the article just after a review of Arturia's Spark LE
    Hope this helps,
    regards,

  • Is a Macbook Pro right for me?

    So I'm looking in to buying a new computer, and I want to know if the Macbook Pro is right for me. (Making the topic title sort of self explanatory.)
    I've been using PCs all my life and I've recently been lounging around the Apple site and looking at the Macs, since, until now, I've never had a large enough computer budget to buy one, but I'm into gaming and my main concern is the graphics card in the Macbook Pro, since I have to pay over my ($1,500) budget, though, the $1,529 refurbished mac is 15 inches and has the Radeon 6770m, which is actually a pretty good graphics card from the notebook check benchmarks... does anyone use their Mac for gaming? My backup is the 27" iMac with the 6950, which is also very good. I also think that most of the programs are just better quality for the kind of stuff I want to do. iMovie > > > > > > > > Windows Movie Maker (especially that new Live variation...) and Garage Band is better than anything I can get for the PC. Just saying.

    I think I'd like portability, being I could bring on trips and stuff like that. Here's the link to the one I'm looking at.

    or this mac if I can scrape together some more funds.

  • Using a drawing tablet with Logic Pro, esp. for hyperdraw?

    Is anybody using a drawing tablet, such as the Wacom Graphire 4, with Logic Pro? I am particularly interested to hear whether a tablet makes inputting hyperdraw data easier.
    Thanx and cheers,
    Vincent

    Yeah, it changes everything — from selecting menu items, to turning knobs or moving sliders. You'll never go back... This is due to the fact that pointing and clicking are merged into one gesture, like playing a piano key takes care of selecting both the pitch and the velocity.
    Be sure you get a small model though, not the big one that they use with Photoshop...
    I find it indispensable whatever the kind of application I'm using, be it a text processor or an audio editor, whenever precise selection or action is required — to the point that I feel awkward when I'm forced to use a mouse.
    By the way, people who are used to using trackballs feel the same — but this isn't true for track-pads.

  • How can i download the latest update of Logic Pro X for my non-internet computer?

    This might seem like a daft question but i usually download updates onto a usb stick so i don't have to drag my desktop computer up the stairs only to instal an update...
    Can anyone direct me into the right direction as i am already going crosseyed?
    Thank you.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have another Mac, open the App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download Logic Pro X. Then, copy it to an external drive (it's saved in /Applications). Finally, copy Logic from the external drive to the Applications folder of your Mac desktop

  • How to configure logic Pro X for Xenyx Q1202 USB

    Hello. We need to know how to configure our Logic Pro X to accept our Xenyx Q1202 USB. At the moment we cannot record on Logic Pro from a mic plugged into the Xenyx or record any instruments. The sound comes from the mic into the Xenyx and then out of the Xenyx into the headphones but it won't go into Logic Pro X.
    We are using a brand new imac, (OSX Yosemite version 10.10) Logic Pro X and Xenyx. The Xenyx seems to be working OK. The microphone and cables work perfectly because we can hear sound from the mic going into the the Xenyx and out through the headphones. The Xenyx Q1202 USB is a Mixer with preamp compressor and USB/Audio interface.
    Logic Pro X knows that the Xenyx is connected to the iMac because it has registered that fact. But it's not picking up any sound at all from the Xenyx. We've have tried it on Garage Band and have the same problem.
    We have a feeling it might have something to do with the configuration.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thanks so much.

    Ok.. Lets take this a small small steps at a time..
    In Logic's preferences/Audio....
    What do you have set as the Input and Output?
    The input should be your Xenyx
    The Output should be whatever you are going to use to listen to the sound output from your Mac...  If you have speakers or headphones connected to the headphone output of your Mac then select that. If you want to listen to sound via the headphones or audio outs of your Xenyx, select the Xenyx.
    Now create an audio track in Logic and select the correct inputs to match the inputs you are using on the Xenyx...
    Record Arm the track and speak into your mic.. and see if Logic's meters move for that track you created...

  • Where Can I download another copy of Logic Pro 9 for reinstallation?

    Where can I download a copy of Logic Pro 9 so that I can reinstall it.  I'm having so many problems with Logic I can not use it since I loaded Maverick. I tried to go to the App Store and then to Purchases and download it from there, but the message I got back was: "This Product is not available in US store."
    Is there something that I am doing wrong?
    Dan Williams
    [email protected]

    You must sign in to the App Store application using the same Apple ID you used to purchase the AppStore version of Logic Pro 9 in the first place.
    Then go to the Purchase tab and you will find it there.....
    If you get such a message, when you click the download/install button on the far right of the LP9 entry under the purchase tab... sign out of the App Store within the Mac App Store aplication.. and sign back in again.. You probably missed signing one of the new Terms and Coditions... or you need to sign into a different server which happens automatically once you sign out and sign in again, from the App Store...

  • When will we get a logic pro update for os x lion?

    I want to use the new mac os but I also need to use Logic Pro. I wish that apple would update all of it's programs before releasing a new os. It seems
    to me that the job is rteleased as an incomplete version.
    When will we see a logic update for os x lion?

      First the Logic team has to do a few more upgrades of Garageband for the iPhone, version 1.0 was just released, after they do that and then upgrade Garageband for the iPad and work on the Audio section of FCPX.. then Logic might see an update.
    Yes, I'm being facetious.

  • Linking between two Logic Pro machines for recording...

    I am working on a film overseas where I need to run two Macs recording live concerts to Logic Pro simulatinously. How do I effectivly sync these two machines in a master/slave set-up? Can I use MMC, or is there a different protocol?

    fuzzynormal wrote:
    If you're doing post (and of course you would), you can always synch your tracks after the fact.
    But the previous response is on target. If you got a lot riding on the recording I'd suggest getting dedicated audio hardware, (rent if you have to) capturing the tracks with confidence, and then importing those tracks to do your post-mix with Logic.
    Anyway, how many simultaneous tracks do you need to grab?
    FYI, I've recorded my drummer (8-channels) with a old ProTools rig on a ancient G4, and the rest of the band with my Mackie 16 channel rig running into a MacBook Pro with Logic. Synched 'em in post, no problem.
    Depending on the length of the recording and the material being recorded, differences in clock can get you subtle but difficult-to-fix phasing issues with that approach.
    Probably not an issue when you're recording a drummer through a Mackie, but if this gig is a big one, there may be very different gear and artists involved, and probably a couple sets of extremely expensive ears listening to the final result.

  • Is Premiere Pro right for me?

    I'm finally taking the plunge and wish to create videos for use on my own company website and also for clients. Is premiere pro the right choice for me? My videos don't need to have spectacular effects but I'm looking into Adobe first because the end result has to look professional. Am I in the right forum for this question?

    Thanks for the reply able
    I've got a Sony Cyber Shot for short video clips and as I envision it right now most of my videos will be marketing pieces for my own use and on behalf of clients. I'd like to have videos explaining my own products which are marketing programs so obviously i'm quite sure I can get the message across in video sooo much quicker and with greater concentration than text. I plan to use short clips of myself with screenshots and slides
    My website is www.earlyoftennow.com
    Sort of figured the Adobe folks or someone like yourself might come along to direct me.
    Thanks for your interest

  • How do you set up Logic Pro 9 for transposing instruments?

    Is it possible to set up Logic to recognise transposing instruments? In other words, if I'm playing a Bb trumpet part in C, the score would display the part transposed one tone higher & display the correct key signature, but it would still sound in C. The orchestral template does this for you, but I prefer to work from scratch.
    Calicoprinter.

    Hi
    You can do this on a region by region basis by selecting the appropriate Staff Style in the Score Inspector.
    If you want to apply a particular Staff Style to a particular track automatically as you record, you can adjust the Style parameter at the bottom of the Track Parameter Box.

  • Is the current MacBook Pro right for me?

    I'm looking into purchasing a 17" MBP, 2.8GHz, 8GB RAM and 7200 RPM 500GB HDD.
    Now, I'm trying to tiptoe around this subject as speculation is frowned upon here, so please forgive me if I happen to accidentally cross any sort of speculating line.
    Anyway, I need a machine that's portable (not ultraportable), able to smoothly and easily work with large audio/video/image files (Logic Studio, Final Cut, Photoshop, etc), and occasionally do some gaming. I'm sure this particular MBP would be able to do the trick.
    HOWEVER, with all the rage regarding Sandy Bridge processors and a possible MBP refresh soon, one thing has got me curious. (Sorry for the speculating here.)
    My understanding is that the current MBP has integrated as well as a dedicated video card, and IF a Sandy Bridge MBP was released, it would be switched to integrated video. Basically, I'm wondering if these integrated graphics would be a negative thing for someone like me. I know in the past, integrated graphics have been less than stellar.
    I also understand that Sandy Bridge features great energy saving and performance upgrades, which are of course welcome. I'm not impatient, so I can wait for a refresh, but if it's going to have a negative impact on what I need it for, I'd rather get a hold of the current MBP while I still can.
    As I said, I apologize for any speculation or "bad things" in this post.

    Great posts guys! Thanks.
    I am aware of the recall, and like I said, I've got no problem waiting. I believe Intel has already announced they will start shipping again soon. An interesting note here. Since only the four SATA II connections on the board were faulty, the two SATA III connections were fine, some manufacturers may still use the "faulty" boards. I don't think I'd be bothered too much by connections that I'd never be able to use not working properly. Assuming no other problems would arise.
    Anyone have any more input on the dedicated/integrated graphics situation? Could Apple still include a dedicated graphics card along with these Intel integrated graphics?
    Thanks again!
