What's the best Logic Pro training?

Have just converted from Cubase PC to LP mac, after 10 years..help!
What are the best training resources around?

I made the move from Cubase to Logic six years ago. Although Logic is basically a DAW like any other PT or DP, but its underlying concept is quite different. Make sure you understand that open "object oriented" concept.
Another problem many new and old Logic user have is its versatility. There are often many ways to do the same things and you have to first be aware of the different options and then choose which one suits your workflow best. i.e. there are three levels of Solo, there is not just one Solo button and that thing gets soloed.
If you are one of the more adventurous guys I would advice you at least try to understand the concept of the Environment. Even if you don't plan you mess with it, it will help your understanding of Logic.
I wrote quite a few manuals with lots of graphics  to help understand the concepts.
Free Manuals
Most of them were for Logic 8 and Logic 7 and some of the features changed a bit but you can browse through and it will help you to get a better idea what you are getting into. BTW they are free pdf downloads.

  • What is the best Logic Pro 7 tutorial (with mpegs/dvd/mov)

    I am curious. I'm more than a beginner. I know how to finish a song, import files, export, bounce, manipulate multiple midi devices, manipulate soft synths, aux/busses and the like
    But I'm inexperienced with the environment, key commands, quick audio editing features, the audio editor and deeper aspects of setting up logic screensets to work for me - How the heck do people make those screensets that change depending on where the SPL is located -like Apple's demonstration song in the apple store ? What is that ? Can that be sued to automatically open a Reason file for instance? What tutorial will be worht my time and money ? THANKS !
    I'm looking for a tutorial that will move me into being a power user.

    I'm using the series from MacProVideo.com. http://www.macprovideo.com/MPV/html/logicPro.html. I find them easy to use and they've answered questions that I just couldn't find in the book.

  • Mac Pro configuration for the best Logic Pro 8 performance

    Hello,
    I noticed that sometimes I have little delays playing midi keyboard in Logic Pro 8.
    What is the hardware configuration of Mac Pro for the best Logic Pro 8 performance?
    Do I need to install any sound card or any additional software?
    My hardware overview is:
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
    Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 3 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Total Number Of Cores: 4
    L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
    Memory: 1 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
    SMC Version: 1.7f10
    thank you,
    Vlad

    You should definiteley get some more RAM first. Buy another 3 Gigabytes to make it 4 Gigs. The Lateny you're experiencing is due to the Buffer settings within Logic. If you set that to 64 or 128 samples (in the Audio preferences->devices->Buffer) the Latency will improve but it will also reduce the number of Plug Ins you can use at the same time as lower Buffer settings require more CPU.
    You didn't mention an Audio Interface which you should obtain if you want to record live Instruments. For the start you can do everything in the Box but the analog minijack Ins/Outs built in your Mac are not really state of the art and you'll improve the sound by getting a good Firewire Interface.
    Also get a second/third HD as you should not be recording onto your system drive. It's good to have one drive dedicated for recording Audio and another one for samples/Jam Packs/Loops.

    It is the GPU that is important.  All the CPU's will be fast enough.  If you can affords it, the 15" with the NVIDIA GPU is the best.

    There isn't one. You have to convert the media to one of the ProRes codecs, probably ProRes LT would work best. You need to do this in Compressor.
    Easy setup isn't relevant as it's options are for tape based media, which this isn't.

  • What is the best mac pro combination considering price

    what is the best mac pro combination specs considering price

    Huge downloads of e-mails is a function of your internet provider.  Most give you asynchronous communication, which means the sending of information back to them is slower than the receipt of information from them.  Thus simultaneous two-way communication will in fact slow you down even more.
    Presentations can be a function of the display technology used.    Old VGA display based projections can be slow and cumbersome.   Newer ones with HDMI, DVI and Mini-Displayport are far better and require less conversion. 
    What kind of workbooks?
    Different programs have different requirements.  Again, you have not distinguished if you are interested in buying a desktop, or a notebook computer.
    Desktop = Mac Pro or iMac or Mac Mini (Mac Mini can be functionally as portable as a notebook, except it does not have battery for being powered on when off the mains).
    Notebook = MacBook Air or MacBook Pro

  • What's the best logic reverb to use for trumpets and sax

    what's the best logic reverb to use for trumpets and sax.

    The lower transmit frequency limit is in there to make the device meet FCC regulations.. that is a regulation imposed of US regions and, to a lesser extent, Latin american regions that border with the US.
    In addition, you'll be pleased to know that the N900 will not use certain European WiFi channels if a) the sim card is removed or b) the phone has a sim card but is OUT of 3G coverage.. again, to make the device meet FCC regulations.. (seriously.. when you go out of 3G coverage, the kernel reports it is switching from EU wifi to US wifi!!)
    Let me put this into perspective..
    From: http://www.nokia.com/results/Nokia_results2009Q3e.pdf
    Nokia sold 3.1million handsets in the US 2009 Q3
    Nokia sold 27.1million handsets in Europe during the same period.. That is 9 times as many.
    The USA has its OWN firmware
    and yet ALL versions of the firmware (including the UK specific one) are crippled to meet the requirements of a region that produces the lowest sales figures by a factor of 3 (Latin America produced 9.7 million units in 2009Q3)
    Why the HELL are we suffering because of US restrictions..
    That's like saying you can't use bluetooth because it isn't allowed on the Christmas islands.. (it is allowed.. not picking on you, Christmas Islands, but you are small!)
    If the FCC wants a phone that doesn't allow broadcasts on sub 88Mhz frequences, and doesn't want certain Wifi channels to be used, the ALTER THE US FIRMWARE..
    What next, BMWs have with left hand steering in the UK because the US drives on the Left?
    Phillips TVs that only work on 120V because the US uses 120V..
    I don't give a **** what the FCC say.. I'm not in the US and I have my own european and UK legislation to adhere to..
    For a company that INSISTS on having a billion regional firmware versions, they don't appear to be able to get that right either!!! The UK version lacks UK specific restrictions such as the ability to us UK frequencies for wifi and FM transmission!!
    Crazy and very very irritating

  • What's the best Mac Pro config for Fireworks?

    What's the best Mac config for Fireworks?
    I can pretty much get whatever Mac I want at work... My boss is sick and tired of watching Fireworks crash all the time... I figure a hefty processor and lots of RAM and maybe a SSD will help…
    I should get a Mac Pro right? Which processor?
    • Two 2.40GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processors (12 cores)
    • Two 2.66GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor (12 cores)
    • Two 3.06GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon (12 cores)
    Should I get 24GB RAM?? Or is that overkill?
    I'll get a 2TB serial hard drive…
    I should get a 512 GB solid state drive offered by Apple right?
    Or is it possible to get a larger better 3rd party SSD?
    And then maybe two 21" Displays… Two 27s seems a little much… or does it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Oh and what about video cards? Or is Apple's default ok? (I'm not doing hard core PhotoShop retouching or anything).

  • What is the best FCE 4 Training Book

    What is the best recommendation as far as training book?
    The one recommended by "Tom Wolsky"?
    Or, the "Visual QuickStart Guide"
    I have had good luck with the Visual QuickStart Guides in the past. But if the Tom Wolsky book is better, I'm all for it. On that note; Which book? "Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop"?
    Steve

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Tom's book is a big tutorial book with lessons. It's a very good start to learn using FCE by practice.
    Lisa Brenneis's "Quickstart guide FCE for Mac OS X" is a kind of dictionnary presenting all application menus. It's less based on a day to day work.
    Both volumes will teach you a lot of FCE.

  • What is the best macbbok pro for video and photo editing

  • What is the best macbook pro backpack

    I am wanting to purchase a macbook pro 13' backpack and i am frustrated with looking so which one is best to keet an mac iphone and ipad in?

    When it comes to the best it's impossible to beat the quality produced by Brentheaven. Would Apple feature more Brenthaven products on thier site than any other if they weren't amazing? As far as backpacks for the Macbook Pro the Brenthaven ProStyle Backpack is the top of the line for quality and protection.

  • Aside from this forum, what's the best Logic forum(s) out there?

    The Apple discussions are a fantastic resource, of course... but what other good forums are out there for Logic? I participate on bigbluelounge and Sonikmatter, but both of these forums are not very active. There are posts on the front page that are from months ago. Are there any, more active, forums that I'm just not aware of?

  • What is the best MacBook Pro for me? (Budget = 1500$)

    Hello guys, I am looking forward for buying a new MacBook Pro. But I don't know which one. I want a 13 inch model that can run very good. In 2010 I bought a MacBook White and I should probably say that it was worth every penny I spent. I loved it so much but this year the trackpad would not move, lagging is an issue but it still works fine now. I want to buy a new MacBook Pro that is good.
    I will use it for the following :
    - Microsoft Word / google docs
    - Photoshop
    - Game programming
    - Gaming (League of Legends, Football Manager 2014/15/16/17)
    - Programming
    - Researching ( EXTREMELY IMPORTANT)
    - Homework
    - And personal use (Facebook, and surfing the web)
    My budget is 1500$, okease answer as fast as you can!!

    givemethemac,
    if you still have your white MacBook, then it seems like fixing its trackpad and installing more RAM and/or replacing its hard disk with a SSD would cost significantly less than $1500. It sounds as though if the trackpad were fixed and the lagging were resolved, that you would still be happy to use it.

  • What is the best Macbook Pro for 3Ds Max?

    I've been searching the ideal laptop for my job. My software is Autodesk 3DS Max. I know it's for Windows but my friends use the same software and they're using Macbook Pro bootcamp as well but it crashed every now & then. I need a laptop that is light weight, has a video card and a screen that is perfect for graphics. Reviews on the Macbook Pro Retina are quite positive but I read about the ghost screen, lags etc. :-/

    The 13 inch wont do you much good in terms of Graphic rendering and transcoding for the following apps, AutoCAD, FCS, Premiere CS5.  The 15" however has a dedicated GPU and also an integrated GPU, if I were you I would go for the high-end 15" Macbook Pro.  Just look at the specs.....
