It was great in the pre-retina days! But it's now a pre-retina UI in a hi-res world. It's almost impossible to use on a 14' screen for me now. And it perfectly integrates with and iPad and AUM via Ultrabeat is even worse than Sculpture! It's like Ableton Live merged with Drambo on steroids. And I really miss Sculpture, even with its awful and esoteric interface.īut if you're into experimental music, sound design, live improvisations, looping, nothing can beat Bitwig. Probably, for lineal editing, recording real instruments and producing in a classical way, doing something like rock music, Logic should be amazing.

This Black Friday I bought a license of Bitwig, and wow, now I'm glued to my Mac creating music and experimenting, with the same degree of creativity and sense of wonder that I used to have with iOS and AUM.īut this perception will always change depending on your workflow. Until I tried Ableton Live, and then Bitwig. I almost abandon the desktop world, because it was impossible to me to find the same degree of inspiration as with working with iOS/AUM. It does a lot of simple things in a super complicated way, it has an enormous inconsistency between the UX design of its instruments.Īnd for creative workflows involving live improvisations, it's a nightmare compared to AUM. Its MIDI mapping functions for creative sequencing are a nightmare, with all the instruments listening to all the MIDI channels even when you filter them, unless you do a super complicated and time consuming setup that involves using its MIDI environment tool with an ugly, tiny and obsolete UI. Honestly, coming from iOS, Logic was an absolute disappointment. Keep us updated how you can use it together with your iPad. For laptops the MacBook Air is probably the best value for the money ATM and you will enjoy it for sure. I don’t produce songs with 50+ sorry I don’t wanna spoil your fun. I’m a hobbyist and I enjoy dabbling around. No, I stick with the iPad against all odds. Logic Remote is great but it’s still a remote and not the actual application. Most of all I missed the nice looking iOS apps and the touch operation. Plugging in my Launchpad X and just using it.

Probably Logic is just not for me because I also installed Ableton Live lite and I could just use it without studying the manual and the UI is not causing eye cancer.

I also failed in understanding Live Loops. I think Apple really must rewrite the UI completely. Colorful icons that depict actual instruments. Without the manual or the online help I was lost and I felt like beamed back into the 90s. Honestly the UI and the workflow were shocking me.

Out of frustration about the shortcomings of the iOS DAWs I installed the trial of Logic on my work MacBook.

I usually have my primary tool as the arrow (whatever they call it) and my secondary tool as scissors, which you access by command clicking, then depending on where I am on the wave display the main tool switches to marquee, pointer, fade, loop, etc. One last thing- learn to use click zones for your tools (is in the preferences) and you’ll do very little tool switching. You can also remove plugins with that same key- it’s really handy! Plugsearch allows you to hover your pointer over a plug-in slot, hit one key, and have a search box come up. Gain control allows you to adjust clip gain in 2 different increments with keyboard shortcuts, and also fades, and is such a workflow enhancer. That’s been helpful.Īlso, the speakerfood app bundle, which includes gain control, plugsearch, and a presets utility (I haven’t used that one yet) has been extremely helpful for me.

I have a lot of custom keyboard shortcuts I’ve made now, but one way I learned shortcuts in the first place is every time I had to look one up or has to learn how to do something, I put it in a notebook on Goodnotes on my iPad. I used to watch people use logic 9 and wonder how they could deal with it, but Logic Pro x has a really well thought out interface. Your head will hurt at first but once you get into using it, I think you’ll find there’s a lot of things that really make sense. My head hurt when I opened up Logic the first time. thanks for the suggestions on the videos. Said: I just got the MacBook Air M1, 512 storage, 8gig of ram.
