So, what's the conclusion re:  GB vs. Logic...?

anyone willing to profer some advice?  In addition, I got Audition with my adobe membership and I don't know whether to invest the blood and sweat to learn it or whether I should stay with Apple.......I'd be grateful for any insights.....

I use Logic 80% of the time. I'm like you and almost never use software instruments or loops mostly just real instruments. Many times I'll start a project in Garageband then finish it in Logic this is a big plus about using Logic over others DAWs.
I still think the jump from Garageband to Logic comes with a steep learning curve but not as big as it was a few years ago. I don't use all that many features in Logic but the ability to use AUX channels and low latency mode with software monitoring sure is handy. I think if you plan to keep garageband and want to use something a little more advanced then logic is the right choice. If you are giving up on Garageband to move to something more pro then pick the one you want, I'd still go with Logic.

    What's the best Mac to run Logic Pro 9 and above with no issues?

    Any Mac that can happily run OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Logic Pro 9.1.5.....
    Note: Newer Macs cannot run Snow Leopard because SL doesn't provide hardware support for the newer hardware found in these newer Macs....
    Next best combo for newer Macs is Mavericks 10.9.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.8... but it is nowhere near as efficient a combo as the previous one mentioned...

    What's the best way to run logic from external hard drive

    Hi
    Organism wrote:
    Logic is designed to run from your Applications folder. I suspect if Logic was moved to an external drive, it might not be able to locate its assets, like loops and libraries.
    As long the necessary files are in the correct places on the boot disc, you can run the Logic application itself fom wherever you like. It would not be recommended however, and there would be very little benefit (if any) in doing so.

  • What is the conclusion? Lightroom question...

    I am trying to read alot of the old post concerning metadata
    when I export I cannot see my name or keywords
    was the conclusion having the correct Windows version?
    OR does metadata show in Lightroom only?
    what is the purpose of the metadata if you are trying to have them in web galleries and you cannot add your info
    to the images...of should I say add them in Lightroom only to not see info OUTSIDE of Lightroom
    thanks
    MT

    What program or method are you using in an attempt to view the metadata when you don't see it?
    You might attach a resized-to-small version of one of your exported JPGs for others to look at.
    You might try EXIF Tool to more definitively tell you what is in the JPG header:
    http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
    Download then unzip/install the program and drag-and-drop your JPG to the EXIFtool(-k).exe program file.

  • What is the difference between != and Logical NOT operator

  • What is the difference when bouncing a Logic Pro X project to Stereo Mode and Normal Mode?

    I was was working on a Logic Pro X Project which I am using as a Sequence for a band.  When I completed my project, I mixed for left side to hear the Click track  and I panned everything else to the right side.  After I completed my project, I bounced to Mp3 in Normal Stereo Mode and after opening in iTunes I discovered that I am hearing the click on the right track. I again bounced and tried the Joint Stereo Mode thinking that would fix it but I still get the click track on both left and right.  What is the difference between bouncing to Normal and Joint Stereo.
    My goal is to produce a 2 track Mp3 Sequence so that all my click track is only heard on the left side and the produced audio is heard only on the right side.
    Any suggestions?

    FIrst, try to bounce to uncompressed aiff or wave and see if you get perfectL-R separation.
    The compression algorithm does its voodoo and maybe some of the left right separation gets messed up with it.
    About Joint Stereo.
    The idea behind is to save data. The algorithm analyzes the stereo signal, when it sees signals/frequencies that are in the left and right channel, then it says, "having the same signal on the left and right channel is the same as storing only one channel (mono ), and when played back send that one channel to the left and right speaker. it saves you half the storage/transmission". However, you have to trust the voodoo again to think that if what comes out is the same as what went in.
    If size and transmission speed isn't an issues, don't use Joint Stereo.
    Hope that helps

  • What is the best video format for logic X

    It used to be that .DV was the way to go. Although the files were huge, it was a much smaller load on the processor because there wasn't any encoding and decoding going on.
    Now LogicX / Mavericks doesn't support .DV anymore. What is the best format. dvcpro?
    Best,

    Don't know if it's the best, but until now I do not have issues with QT H.264 format.

  • What is the best MIDI controller for Logic, and is Axiom Pro the only line with "Hyper Control?

    What is the best MIDI keyboard/control surface to use with LOGIC (Studio - which I assume is the latest & greatest version) and is Axiom Pro the only line that has Hyper control? I already own the Axiom Pro 61, but prefer more keys, and though I like much about it, the keys aren't very easy for playing more complex material, and there is an obvious delay regarding attack response (esp. noticeable at faster speeds). There are other issues as well I've read of regarding key sticking (though I consider myself lucky mine do not, there is nontheless a sluggish clunckiness issue which neither helps agility/acuracy nor the delay factor.) and the unit not lasting very long before it breaks and needs repairing. And lastly, I am no fan of Avid and care not to support them in the least.

    Sorry, but is this an iPad question? Axiom Pro 61 is not an iPad-compatible peripheral, so perhaps you mean to post in the Logic forum?

  • What are the best optimization settings for Logic 9....

    Hey guys,
    I am running Logic 9 on a Macbook Pro 2.53GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, OSX 10.6.4, with a AK1 soundcard. And I was wondering what the best optimization settings for this setup are?
    I have been having a few issues with drop outs in sound during playback, which is also carried over when i bounce the audio. I did some research and found my latency settings needed to be higher, so I set the I/O buffer size to 512. I am also running all samples from the local hdd, I was thinking maybe put the samples on an external drive. I also changed Logic 9 to 64bit mode.
    Does anyone know if this is right and anything else I need to do with Logic and/or the AK1??

    First, return to 32-bit mode. 64 bit still has some ß-issues and some features that are not working/disabled, and the only perk of 64-bit is that Logic can adress more than 4 GB RAM, which you don't have anyway.
    Samples on the startup drive is not a problem, unless you start using really big third party sample libraries, or zillions of EXS instruments. Some of the Logic content insists on residing on the startup disk anyway, better leave that where it is.
    If you have an external, use that to store your Logic projects, or, in other words, make it your recording disk (as recordings are stored in the project folder). You do record audio too, I assume? Anyway, if you get an external, make it a FireWire one, not USB. FireWire is much easier on the CPU, and +for audio (and sample-) streaming+ more reliable and faster than USB.
    If dropouts you hear during playback also show up in the (offline?) bounce, it is probably not a buffer issue, as the buffer is irrelevant for bouncing offline.
    So how many tracks and what kind of tracks in this project? Which plugins and how many instances of them?

  • What does the chain/link button in Logic instruments do?

    I'm a new user of Apple MacBook Pro and MainStage v2.2.2 for music ministry work.  Found the Logic Software Instruments and some useful documentation about the interface and programming for each, but no mention thus far of the two lines of controls that MainStage adds to the top of each.
    First line is blue chain/link button - no rollover help, no F1 help, no right click context menu/help, no nothing.  The pulldown items on that line and the stuff on line 2 is fairly obvious.  What does that little chain link button do?  Every one of the software instruments seems to have the button present.
    NotLiable

    Okay.  I tried your experiment.  Double click on ES P button in channel strip and up pops the ES P software instrument.    Click on link button  -- on is blue, I see -- and double click on EXS24 button in another channel strip.  EXS24 window pops up, with the link button still blue/on, replacing the ES P window.  Turn off link button and open another software instrument and it joins the EXS24 on the screen.
    I now know what the button does, and that was my entire reason for posting, but your first sentence now has me curious.  You wrote, "The Link function is not obvious in MS, but essential in Logic."  It wasn't obvious because it's not documented, that I can find, in MS help, MS User Guide or Logic Pro 9 Instrument documentation.  No rollover tip.  Zip, squat, nada.  When you contrast "obvious" with "essential," do you mean the feature is not relevant in MS?  I'm not looking for a Logic tutorial, but I did find the feature mentioned in that product's manual.  I just want to know what, if anything, I need to do with this in MS.

  • What's the downside of starting with Logic Express?

    I'm moving up from Garageband, and I record on a Macbook Pro with a Presonus Firepod interface.
    I'm trying to decide whether to start with Express or Logic Studio. I think that Express will suit my needs fine, but at any rate, it seems like there's no downside as Express is $199 and the upgrade to Studio is $299. So even if I start with Express and decide I need Studio, it won't cost me any more than the full version of Studio anyway ($499).
    Does anyone have an opinion?

    Honestly, I think your original question answers itself. You are right on target in your thoughts. You can buy LE8 now and, if you decide to upgrade later, you can upgrade for a price that wouldn't cost you more than the original purchase of Logic Studio. I just purchased the upgrade from LE7, and the reason why I used LE instead of Logic Pro is that I refuse to use software with dongles. By adding external plugins and instruments, I was able to do pretty much what a Logic Pro user could do in my position (the extra features such as HDM support were unnecessary to me). Now, though, with what Logic Studio offers, I decided that $300 was a pretty sweet upgrade. Still, I could do a lot with LE7. LE 8, of course, is much, much better.
    So, jump in to Logic Express 8 and see if it does what you want. One things for sure, though, and that is LE8 is a serious DAW out of the box for an incredible price.

  • What is the best way to remove Logic Pro 9 after installing X?

    That's the question. I did not install all the extra content from the boxed set of Pro 9.
    I read once that removing these pro applications wasn't as simple as just dragging the Application icon to the trash.

    On my Mac Pro where there really are Logic projects I have left it. On a laptop I have no projects and have one copy of Logic for perusing and learning and toying with. It's that laptop I want to remove Logic 9 from.
    Google gets you a list of about 25 things you should manually remove including receipts and god-knows-what.
    A call to Apple yesterday got me an agent who really didn't know and sent me an info article she said would tell me exactly. It literally said to remove the Preferences file. It was a troubleshooting document!
    But after a little frustration on my part she put me on hold. When she came back she said the new one would use resources of the old and so I should only delete the icon of the Application itself. It's only 800 or so MB as compared to the 30 GB or so of the original install. I thought the sounds in X were new and didn't want so many files hanging around.
    But I did only that, I trashed the Application icon only. And it took quite awhile to actually delete with a progress bar going across very slowly. Perhsps it took along many other things. I should have checked the total space remaining before and after.
    But really the question is still unanswered. For instance; Logic Node. Do I need that for X only? I'm sure there are many others. It's crazy Apple's tech faked her way through.

  • Apogee Ensemble: What are the issues it has with Logic 8?

    I've read raving reviews about the Ensemble--one of which describes it as being a huge improvement over a MOTU 828mkII, which I happen to have. At the same time, I've seen some posts in this forum about the issues the Ensemble has with Logic 8. I couldn't find, or understand, what those issues are.
    Can someone explain to me what problems I might encounter if I get an Apogee Ensemble? I'd much appreciate it.

    Mackie control with Logic 8 is all over the place, i was surprise to see this the Stop Play Rewind and so forth is at fault, the faders works so i have to use the Controls on screen, i take it Apple will soon update the Control-units to work properly with Logic 8, even though L.8 is pretty new, but i find Logic 8 to be very impressive,
