RE: logic

[Poppa Bear]

Hey Ricky, glad to see that you are up and sailing over this last year. I 
remember about a year ago the waters were kind of rough, but once a person cuts 
their teeth on PT then I think that it can be a great experience and with Logic 
picking up the slack on the instrument end, Mack has a really great platform.

Get it Steve it is a great investment. You have too much midi  from your 
windows days that logic would handle easily for you. For only $200 you cannot 
go wrong it will give you more drum sounds if we all work together we can learn 
how to combine those kits and make some excellent drum kit creations. But it 
will open a standard midi file and you just need to switch patches like with 
Sonar. It has a B3 organ that is to die for. Very authentic guitar sounds and 
many other great things. I just choose up patches and get a song going and 
logic export and import it into ProTools and turn out nice project. I am 
forcing myself to use only logic so I can learn the program better. I did this 
when I bought my first Apple Computer. I am not going to abandon Protools 
because version 12 is a truly great thing. By the way logic works great with 
the MackieMCU pro.

Re: logic

[Jesse Kragiel]

Hi Steve, I used logic before purchasing Pro Tools, and I still will for some 
of my midi work. In fact, if you're used to PT key commands, there's already a 
built-in template to use the same commands in Logic. Not sure exactly how far 
that extends, as I haven't tried editing audio, but they're there. It has good 
bouncing and exporting functions, so it's no problem to import your projects 
into PT to record your audio stuff. The stock instruments in Logic are 
fantastic, which, I'm afraid, is not necessarily the case in PT, but I've found 
PT gives Voiceover users better editing and mixing control

new avid application manager question

[Brian Howerton]

Hello all,
Today, I finally got updated to the new avid application manager with sighted 
assistance, and I tried looking around a bit with voiceover.  Can someone 
please explain how the new avid application manager works with voiceover?  I 
tried to find where I log in with my avid credentials, but couldn’t figure out 
how to do it.  But maybe if I understood how the manager works with voiceover 
it would make a little more sense just as far as navigating it with voiceover.  
Thanks for the help in advance,
Brian

One more thing whatever computer you get be sure to max out the ram it is not 
very expensive today. Are you using multiple hard drives for recording? If not 
you need a great FireWire drive or something very fast as I said  in my earlier 
post Sweetwater can advise what to do.

Re: Mac and Control Surface Recommendations

[Ricky Prevatte]

When it comes to a Mac computer I would definitely never be under an ice seven 
processor if I were spending money. I would keep what you have until I could do 
that. Mac mini or more iMac or some kind of tower would be a strong upgrade I 
use the MCU pro.
If I were you I would call Sweetwater music and talk with them. They will  
consult with  you and tell you what to do even if you do not purchase anything 
from them at this time. I will say they do sell the Apple product and they have 
a great finance plan. They will support you for two years set everything up 
with you but will not train you but they have lots of great information at 
sweet care which is their support site. More and more experience in dealing 
with Blind Mac users just food for thought sometimes you can pay a little more 
to start out and get exactly what you need saving a headache and just enjoying 
or be productive in your studio.  You can find that Mackie used for the same 
price as the X touch. The faders are so quiet and the unit works so great I 
highly recommend that. What are you putting your audio into the machine with?

Re: Mac and Control Surface Recommendations

[TheOreoMonster]

The computer you configured should be plenty sufficient for pro tools.
While i have gotten away with mixing on my MBA  i wouldn't recommend
an air as  your only computer if you are trying to run a studio off of
it. A mac mini should be find but once again go for as much
ram/processor as you can afford. i7's in theory give you more
processing cores  and Both Pro Tools and logic seem to be multi thread
aware so imagine they can take advantage of such things. As for the
behringer X touch you will have to check their site to see if it has
Pro Tools/HUI support.  Otherwise you will be looking at something
used if you are wanting to stay far south of $1000.

Re: logic

[TheOreoMonster]

While ther  is some audio and text write ups on logic with VoiceOver,
nothing  as in depth as say pro tools with speech exist yet, as far as
I am aware. For the most part i been able to figure out using it for
drum programming/sample replacement/building custom kits from reading
mainstream  tutorials and watching a few us youtube videos, but when i
posted links to the logic access list others said they didn't find the
same ease of following along that i did initially. One of these days i
should write out something more in depth as it relates to VO. Your
best bet is to probably join the logic Access list and ask questions
as they come up.  Also, If you can map one of the Pro Tools drum
synths to use your own samples then there is plenty of drum sounds for
the  purchasing out there you can use in PT instead of having to use
logic.

logic

[Steve Sparrow]

Hi guys.  as stated in a previous post. i’m looking for more drum sounds for 
programming. It has been suggested that logic may do the job in this area. I’m 
very happy to use logic along side p t, if this will give me more control. I’ve 
heard great things about it for this type of work. I guess the question is, how 
accessible is it for us, and is there some manual or pod cast on how to use it 
with voice over.

I know some of you guys on this list use it for one thing or another. I am not 
wanting it to replace p t, really to work in conjunction with.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Mac and Control Surface Recommendations

If you're going back and forth between PT and Logic I would recommend the 
Mackie MCU pro, I think you can get them for around $400 used. If you need mic 
pre's and headphone all in one surface then you would have to let us know your 
price range. I haven't heard of any using the Beranger piece with PT myself,

I’m considering this
Laptop Computer with 15.4" Retina Display, Force Touch Trackpad, 2.2GHz 
Quad-core Intel Core i7 Processor, 256GB Flash Storage, 16GB Memory, 2 USB 3.0, 
and 2 Thunderbolt Ports I also plan on purchasing a control surface. Automating 
with the keyboard is just not cutting it anymore LOL. Any suggestions for a 
good one? I’d be willing to spend between $500-$1000.
All feedback would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Brian

speaking of macbook pro...

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi folks,
Asking here as some may remember.
Anyone recall which macbook pro might be the last, assuming they are gone 
now, that included a line in jack with the hardware?  as in a separate line 
in jack, like a separate line out jack from the headphone jack?  Yes I know 
there are work arounds, but I am interested in the separate line in jack 
specifically, even if I must go back a few editions.  I will not be using 
pro tools in this setup most likely, so do not let that  influence your 
answers.

Thanks much,
Kare

Subject: Mac and Control Surface Recommendations

Hello,
I am looking to get a new mac computer and a control surface. I’m currently 
still using my macbook pro from 2008 and it still works okay, but I think it’s 
time to upgrade. I use Pro Tools 11 and Logic Pro.
What would be the difference in performance with a dual core vs. quad core? I 
currently have 4GB of memory, Is there a big difference between 8GB and 16GB?
Also wondering if anyone here uses a Macbook Air or Mac Mini for Pro Tools?
