Here's a good resource for Logic questions:

Much better than the Apple forums, IMHO.

Is anyone else currently using Logic X having a problem with sustain on midi tracks dropping out randomly when you're looping something? I just upgraded last week, and there's no explanation for what's happening. Something might be looping, and on the third or fourth loop, certain notes within just play without sustain applied. Sustain is at 127 the entire time. It's making me Hulk level angry.

ltjohnrambo,
Let me know which songs of mine you were asking about the guitars. If it's on my band's album, that's all amp reverb, likely on both a tube amp and a solid state, in stereo.
If it's stuff of my own, I can take a look at the tracks in Logic and let you know. I'm addicted to reverb, lushness with several guitar parts and a lot of ambience to them. On one of those solo tracks, there's a ton of Micron synth with delay and reverb in Logic.

Question for Logic users regardless of version.
If you're recording a stereo track into Logic (in my case, effects pedals with stereo out) do you prefer to record a single stereo track, or two separate mono tracks? Kind of trying to decide which sounds better and feel like I get a distinctly better sound out of two mono tracks with each track panned left/right 25%.

Agreed that the Reason mixer shouldn't force the EQ chain etc on every channel, it does make it more busy than needs be.
Though they are emulating hardware when it comes to visuals though so guess thats why...guess most are beyond hardware now though and just want a simple GUI with options to expand if and when needed.
As for Logic X, I've still not upgraded, and don't plan on doing it for a bit as I don't wanna jump into it and cut out the 32bit plugins I use. Waiting till they got 64 as the new changes in X are not good enough for me to wave bye to some amazing plugins...I mean, drummer? no...just no Apple.

But, granted, everyone has their favorites. I used to have ProTools. I've had Reason for quite awhile, and Logic, and I vastly prefer Logic over those two.
I liked Reason a lot until they added all the audio recording and it got so fucking huge to scrawl around and there were 600 million controls for every little thing. I hate how there is all that stuff on the channel strips. Why not just add an EQ or a compressor when you need one? Why have 900 knobs there that you might never fiddle?
- this is exactly why i've stayed away from reason. tooooo much.prophetone

Logic has Sculpture. Therefore, in my opinion, it beats all other DAWs.

really this whole debate is a bit mute..
Ableton kills both Protools and Logic.- Only for those that are comfortable with it, not everyone likes the same thing in terms of DAW.sem

So, are Native Instruments plug-ins 32bit?
- "Most NI plug-ins are compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit host sequencers."

Logic X is 64bit only, this is a bad thing for those using 32bit plugins.
As for these Pro Tools & Logic debates...come on now people...surely you guys are experienced enough now to know that its not the software, its how you use it.
Yes Pro Tools HD is great for mixing and post production, but for pre-production and creating tracks it sucks, still...and then thats not to say Logic is the MUST HAVE for pre, its all about what you're comfortable with, every program has its own success stories where creativity triumphs over all...let us not forget Skrillex used FL Studio, Kanye even used an MPC, fuck it Timbaland even made a track once with two pencils and a cup.
You tend to find those that argue over software rarely use it for the right reason, to be creative.
- no arguments here. in fact one of my fun projects is forcing my atari st into a rack w/ LCD screen for Cubase midi.prophetone
- so like i'm taking it back to 1991 with that midi rufneck bidnessprophetone
- for me, i personally haven't never felt warm and fuzzy w/ pro tools. so it's a warm sweater feeling i want heading back to logic.prophetone
- logic. your are right tho arguing is for gas faces. not sure if anyone was arguing tho just 'nerding' out.prophetone
- because by default, if you are on here posting stuff, you're a nerd. we all are. had to be said.prophetone

Thanks > ^
Not sure when I'll upgrade it but I will when I have a need for it. I'm hoping to start recording a lot more instrumental music soon to build up my portfolio for (hopefully) putting it out there for use in short films or scoring something. A good friend in LA is an actor and might be looking to me soon for some music on something they're working on. I think my band days are over (was in a band here in Chicago for 4-5 years until 2010) and my goal has always been to get into scoring, soundtrack, instrumental stuff. I really want to learn a lot more about using Logic but particularly get better at electronic/ambient stuff, and mixing. I'm sort of the way there, there's just so much to learn and so little time lately (even being out of work). I tend to write/record more in the winter.
- Here is my band's album, and a few of my own songs (rough versions). I sing and play guitar.mg33

- you sound like me. not necessarily scoring but i've been more into ambient/atmosphere stuff. thanks james blake!prophetone
- and need to get better at mixing too. free time is a premium commodity tho and i have lots of to-do fun projects to do.prophetone
- lots of ideas, no time!prophetone
- Same here. I feel like all my time on computer is now for ExpeditionBureau, or editing my own photos.mg33
- Several classes here in Chicago. Something like this would be cool.
http://www.logicproc…mg33 - I'd really love to perfect my workflow so I'm better able to get ideas out, rather than feel like 80% learning, 20% idea capture.mg33
- I like your stuff a lot. What reverb are you using? It sounds really lush.ltjohnrambo
- Thanks! On the album or solo stuff? If album, that's all amp reverb. If solo, I'll have to check Logic.mg33
- I've never had a reverb pedal, my home setup is guitar>effect pedals > Duet > Logic.mg33
- I was talking about the link you posted in this thread. Specifically the guitars. That's all amp spring reverb? Very nice!ltjohnrambo
- Can you let me know which songs?mg33

Prophetone,
Are you going to get it soon? I'd really love to know what process you go through to upgrade, especially since this sounds like a full new version. As I said above, I cringe more on this upgrade process than any other software. In particular, I'm curious what the "optional content" is - maybe it's jam pack files like came with Logic 8?
I feel like the logic 9 upgrade leveraged sound files from 8. There weren't as many disks for the 9 upgrade as the full 8. So with X being a digital download, really unsure what makes sense to fully remove or install.
I guess the short of is this: will you fully remove 9 to install X, or install X over it? Thanks!
- 9 provided most all the same sound files as 8, but they were smaller because they weren't losslessly compressed.evilpeacock
- i'm a bad example. my most recent logic purchase was in the 90's with 5.5! i have pro tools 8. this would be a fresh install.prophetone
- but i'm prob biting the bullet tonight after i read some more reviews and forums to see if it's sweet or bugaliciousprophetone
- i know logic 9 had it's issues and major delays to fix them from the apple. hopefully this is better.prophetone

Did anyone find out what the download size is yet?
- "Minimum 5GB of disk space. 35GB of optional content available via in-app download."prophetone
- apparently the app is 650MB then the add-ons factor inprophetone
