I hate having to learn how to use a new DAW system So with out having to attend a course I searched for something that was hopefully going to get me through the mundane and complex issues with the change to Logic Pro 9 pronto.
This book is almost like doing a full course at a training facility for the program. The best part is that it is self paced, you can do it at your leisure or an afternoon. If you follow along with each chapter as it comes, you quickly gain proficiency in the use of the program.
The lessons are structured very well with each new component leaning on the information learned in the last. The examples and tutorials flow logically and help to build an understand in the use and function of the tools within Logic Pro 9.
They are presented with numerous screen shots and colour pictures, Great for beginner's and old hands. This book is now my main reference for all things Logic Pro 9. As I said in the title One person found this helpful. Kenneth G. Nielsen Top Contributor: Photography. This book has it down to the basics, - so no one gets left behind. It was no time before I could tell I was learning Logic Pro 9 and learning it well. From configuring a system to get things running correctly, to the expanse of tools that Logic puts into the hands of the Musician or the Sound Engineer.
Clearly worded and organized Chapters have you producing music, rhythms and sounds right from the start. I know this is the book that I'll want to keep nearby as I create and master all the facets of music in Logic Pro 9. There's fun ahead too, as I moved on to something I beforehand didn't know existed: 'Ultrabeat! This feature plus the details laid out in the chapter on setting up Drum Patterns will carry you very well into the future.
It helps to find certain data quickly, and you can store your searches for re-use. Neither app is perfect, and a competent Logic user could probably make a list of things that Logic does "better" than DP, but in the end it comes down to preferences, and DP simply does things in a way that is familiar and comfortable to me, thus my bias.
But some of the things above are real deal-killers for Logic and me. The two apps are very different, though. Switching between them is not like switching cameras or word processors. They are completely different ways of working.
It's probably significant to mention that a lot of film score composers would be lost without DP. It is one of the oldest DAWs for film scoring, and has co-developed along with the industry. DP is excellent for syncing up with external hardware such as cameras, mixing boards, ADAT machines, and other digital devices. One other important thing for me, probably less so for someone starting out, is that I can open files all the way back to or , when I first started using DP.
Very few applications can boast that kind of retro-compatibility. And I have tons of files dating back that far. Why sequence something again if I did it 25 years ago? It's safe to say that which ever you choose, you'll still be learning new tricks after 10 years of using it.
They are deep apps with lots of options. Good luck in figuring out what you want. OfftheRoad got the deluxe treatment by some of the boards powerhouse DP users. Perhaps when folks now search "Digital Performer Vs Logic Pro" they'll be directed to this great info.
Thanks, all. Sometimes they are quite small, almost too small. It's not a showstopper, but hopefully something that gets some attention in their next release. However, Logic has always seemed attractive to me, from a distance, but I have little to no actual experience with it.
I am also planning to upgrade from my Apogee Duet soon- something with at least inputs, and the top two on my list are the Apogee Element and the Focusrite Clarett range. I see that Apogee and Logic have made a very happy marriage in recent years, and I wonder if there's a real advantage to Logic in that regard?
Is it worth the switch? Well worth the switch to LPX. DP 9 was a big disappointment to me. I switched to LPX a year ago and am quite happy with the change. A bit of a learning curve as the workflow in Logic is different. After some hair-pulling for a few weeks, I learned Logic's workflow. DP is more user-friendly starting out than Logic, has better multi-processor implementation but falls short in many other areas.
The content included in LPX is massive - drum machine, sampler, Drummer, synths including the great Alchemy and on. I believe it's over 50 gigs now! LPX's built in plugs are, IMO, much better than DP's especially the stock compressor which sees a lot of use though I have a folder full of great third-party comps.
The app has been totally stable for me both in El Cap and now in Sierra. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it Good luck with your decision! DP has a lot of truly killer features that Logic doesn't have - but most are of interest to composers working with picture, so you may not ever need them if your focus is more conventional songwriting and production.
Many of those features are pretty esoteric and related to creating complex tempo maps and calculating how they will line up to specific hit points in a film. It's been 20 years since I was a Performer user, and even back then many of those features were pretty killer and some are still unequaled in other DAWs. The provided content and plugins are amazing and even though I have all of the big third-party plugin packages I still rely on many of Logic's stock plugins every day for the meat-n-potatoes stuff like compressors, eq, etc.
Goodies like Drummer and Alchemy are truly top-shelf and very inspirational. For me it has been rock solid and extremely efficient on the CPU. Get in there! Reasons to consider logic in my book are : 1. Plugins - especially the compressors 2. Sampler 4. Alchemy 5. How beautiful it looks on my 4K monitor 6. So far I have not had to pay for upgrades - I hope Apple continues this policy 8. Seems to spread the processing over my multiple cores rather evenly. Wow some great replies from all.
Although I very occasionally score to picture, I've never really used DP's famed scoring features. I am much more of a songwriter and performer, so I'm much more interested in creative tools.
You guys are definitely making a strong case to try out Logic. I've used Logic since the Windows and pre audio days.
