Check out TC.. You can download a demo of Live to check things out.. You can not in anyway download a version of Logic to check it out.. Take your time and decide for yourself.. Then live with that descion That's were it all begins in the end anyway you cut it.. For notation, midi editing and processing, and general routing i think cubase is still far ahead of the others.
Ableton have been very helpfull and reactive in the past years and there are a number of workaround solutions via config scripts and quite frequent updates.
DJ DiscoPimp , Oct 23, Logic Pro Not exspress If youy are serious,there is no reason not get LP You would do better to define what you mean by compositions.. Unfortuanately that give no hint at your needs..
I hope you followed the link about Live above.. Here are some free videos about Logic.. Le8 is much better than Le7 was Hi Matt.. Just came in from a freezing day at the top of a 40 foot ladder..
Le8 and LP8 differ as you know from the chart.. However,how could anyone know what those differences mean without prior knowledge.. OK then.. Convolution reverb,,a delay unit with over 40 taps,each one with it's own filter etc.. Sculpture,a physical modeling synth,,Not totally open ended but massive.. Also the vintage selection of instruments such as an electric piano,clav,organ..
Then there are the jampacks,,,I don't use them in regards to loops.. That said however they are similar to the kore soundpacks is so much as they add additional "Instruments" NOT just loops,so many more sounds to choose from..
There are other features also but outside the scope of this.. Kore works very well with Logic The one thing about Logic is it's depth.. If you go the exspress or Pro version.. The reference manuals are great.. But you will be for the most part lost from square one reliant upon them.. Go to logicprohelp.
There you will find a link to a book by the moderator If you go logic,no matter which version.. It is an essential part of learning Also macprovideos.. Go and watch the tutorial excerpts..
Hi Matt. Whatever you choose.. All the best.. Make music.. It doesn't matter if it is your profeesion.. With Logic Pro X now boasting its own well thought-out and tightly integrated take on the same concept in the shape of the Live Loops Grid, however, that edge has been blunted.
Before we mail the trophy to Cupertino, though, Live still has one feature that keeps it firmly at the top spot for on-the-fly loop recording and launching: Follow Actions.
This seemingly innocuous little Clip View control panel gives producers and live performers the means to automate and randomise clip launching within Scenes — something no other DAW can do. So Live nabs this one. Alchemy — once a pricey third-party instrument, until Apple bought its developer, Camel Audio — is the more overtly powerful of the two, taking in additive, granular and analogue-style synthesis, with four simultaneous sources, tons of filters and copious effects.
Wavetable certainly holds its own, though — a two-oscillator plus sub wavetable synth with over well crafted wavetables onboard, two filters, comprehensive modulation options, and a supremely accessible interface and workflow, that sounds phenomenal. For us, those two factors tip the scales. These newcomers joined an already impressive line-up of distortion, dynamics, equalisation the integrated Channel EQ is particularly good , reverb, delay, modulation and other effect types to give you absolutely everything you need to get the mixing job done.
This round in our face-off goes either way, depending on your primary plugin needs: Live for sound design, Logic for mixing. But there are also marked differences…. In contrast, with its less stratified, comparatively accessible interface, Live is about as lean and mean as DAWs get, and the speed with which the seasoned user can fly around its Session and Arrange Views, Piano Roll and Sample Editor is something to behold. Back across the pond, Logic is famous for its unrivalled key commands scheme, with which a vast array of shortcuts can be customised to suit the specific tactile needs of the user, no matter how eccentric.
