Okee-dokee. Here we go.
I've used this occasionally at other people's places, but critical mass appears to have been reached with people wanting to send me Logic sessions, so it's time to start a properly steep learning curve.
I think maybe the version of Logic I've used is a bit older than this one 😬
Some initial thoughts:
I really dig some of the stuff I've found so far (such as the way it interacts with my control surface to colour the tracks 👇), but stuff like the routing is very weird.
It's unsurprisingly tough going to break 30 years of Pro Tools...
Starting to get the hang of Logic a bit more now. Some neat tools...
My only small nitpick so far is that the menu and toolbar system is a little opaque. I expect there's a way to customise things more, though, so there may be a way to make it suit dopey old me yet 😂
Whenever I think I find something in Logic that I can triumphantly shout, "Aha! Pro Tools rules!" about, I find a way around it.
Clip gain, for example: there's no little handle on the clips, but 2 keystrokes give you a tool to do it.
Then I find things that are very cool indeed: There's a tool that strips out silences and trims the clips automatically, and you can batch-add fades at the start and ends of multiple clips at the same time.
Aaaand, I just this second learned that you can really easily clip gain multiple clips simultaneously. 🤯
Gee willikers, I've only had Logic for 5 days, but I'm already somehow on my second version 😮
How funny (strange funny, not funny funny):
I discovered today while trying to start a job that my Pro Tools license hasn't been updating despite them taking the money. They fixed it within a couple of hours, which is great, but I'm feeling a little uneasy that they've changed something in their system that's gonna make this happen every month.
Only 6 days after starting to learn Logic, too. Quite a coincidence...
I started out with Logic, and still today use it for many things.
But my day to day DAW, for noodling around or trying out presets and plug-ins is Reaper.
