I’ve actually watched the DVD one slow evening, and then bought the book afterwards in hopes of learning even more – had to return the book, it was the exact same stuff.Īnyway, there would be two ways of going about mastering any DAW on the market – starting from the basics, and learning everything, from how MIDI works, to send and insert FX, to audio editing or, alternatively, just clicking buttons randomly, enjoying the mysterious and dangerous sonic trip, and learning as you go. Not to promote the author or anything, but the same guy who wrote that book also has a DVD available which provides you with the exact same information but in a much more concise and visual manner. No more than any other new big piece of software, though – after reading a fairly accessible book on Logic on the bus to school or work, you will probably be writing your first tunes in a few days or sooner. Having learnt Cubase fairly thoroughly and used things like Live, Reason, Fruity Loops and even trackers (omg, I totally have to make a post about those!) Logic did seem a bit intimidating at first. So, what you really need to be learning here is something else:īigass thousand-dollar Digital Audio Workstations have steep learning curves. If you talk to those people, 9 out of 10 times they will admit that Logic was their first DAW. That’s actually the biggest lie about Logic I have ever encountered. If you do a bit of research like you should, you will find people saying that Logic has a very steep learning curve. Now, this is one of the weirdest myths about Logic. The first thing new users want to know about is how hard it is to use the software.

I’m almost done saving up for Studio 4, but it’s pretty much the same software as S元 anyway, so my comparison should still be valid. I have Cubase S元 installed under Win, and since it’s not a universal binary, I’m forced to load up Windows whenever I want to use Cubase. Right now I’m using a MacBook for most of my composing, which has XP installed on a separate partition via BootCamp.

I have to admit it – the only reason I got a copy of Logic Express was because of Mac OS.
UPDATE: Now that I’ve used Logic for quite some time, I have a bit of an update. I’m using both DAWs equally often now, so I’ll try to give you an idea why/when you’d use one over the other without all the “Logic just sounds better” crap. But then, I also wanted the blog to enrich Internet with original content valueable to newcomers and professionals alike, or something like that, so that’s my excuse.īesides, people constantly ask the versus questions, which fuels all sorts of flame throwing.

I know I said I’d like to keep the blog free of discussions of software or hardware.
