I'm loving it. Just switched over from Pro Tools. Such an easy transition.

If you need any logic help musictechhelpguy site is really good.

I'm loving it. Just switched over from Pro Tools. Such an easy transition. It’s the keyboard shortcuts that keep me from doing it. And yes, I know they have a preset, but inevitably it’s never all the shortcuts I need.

As long as all the functions have direct equivalents, that is.

I really should learn Logic. The inst are great, the drummer is great, the fx are great, I get stumped on the routing, editing, I wish I could dumb it down, lol.

You can do your own custom shortcuts in Logic....

I don't know what a Cubase user with plenty of nice plug ins has to gain....other than the Drummer, which for most people will require working a VERY different way...for me, it was the way I always worked--it just took longer and a more windy road to get there.
I think if you want to do stuff like quantize audio, LPX does that better than Cubase...I actually, as an experiment, have one track on this record that I just took the demo tracks and edited them to be tighter--as an experiment to see how little time I can spend using the best of tech...but, I'll also tell you--it doesn't feel as good as the ones I didn't do that way...so, not a huge selling point for me. I don't polish many turds.

One can do that if you want, but the new logic update has made smart tempo, more sophisticated, working on midi and multiple tracks at the same time.
So, I guess one can edit for tight tight tight or use smart tempo to lock into what ever the natural time of the piece is too: depending on the feel or groove you want ?

The new additions to smart tempo don't really change anything for me.
I meant LPX is great for editing/changing the time of audio--not inherently "quantizing". I just think the use case for such things is limited for me...I was spitballing what I thought Logic did better than Cubase because Kennedy was talking about wanting to learn it.

Any Console 1 functionality (track follow) implemented by chance?

In Studio One, for example, when you select a track via one of the buttons on Console 1 hardware, the corresponding track within the DAW is selected, as well as pan and fader functionality being sync’d - not so with Logic, all functionality happens within the Console 1 plugin. Quite a few folks have been asking and petitioning for the full integration within Logic.

ah but don’t you mean faderport? I don’t think that’s a feature of Softube Console 1? Or I don’t remember it doing that ?
Faderport already did highlight the selected track in logic .

I should add that I recall reading about that and thinking it kind of defeats the purpose of using console one which is not looking at your sound/monitor but hearing the sound your hands are creating? With C1 you always need to select the channel you are working on and I had my sessions set using a common sequence of tracks so I new what element I was selecting Vox, drums etc,. So, I never quite got the upset about no in monitor channel highlighting feature at least using C1? My FP does do this and I do like it but I don’t fully use the FP and still do many things with my mouse which theoretically defeats the purpose of the FP too but to me it seems faster: click, action, done ?

I don't use Logic heavily, I bought it when PTs went to the subscription model but still mainly record on PT12. I had an old iPad mini which is frozen at iOS9, so when I went to try Logic Remote, it informed me it wasn't compatible. I was given an iPad4 last spring which is frozen at iOS10 and didn't think to try Remote again until this week, turns out it's supported with LPX 10.4.1 just fine! This is awesome, flipping through the virtual instruments with the smart controls pre-mapped is so much better than using a monitor/mouse. Was a little shocked to see the full parameters of all my third-party plug-ins available as well. I'm now hunting for a new case to hold it in position next to the laptop. I can flip between a browser controlling the MOTU 16A mixer and the Logic Remote app on the iPad as they're all running on the same wifi network.
Did you have to update Logic Remote at all to work with the new LPX version?

I havrn’t seen that referenced anywhere . As the Apple OS has been updated to Mohave X updated too, I would think logic remote was automatically updated or compatible as well ?

Hm, I'm running Sierra with LPX 10.4.1 and can see the update to 10.4.2 is available, as well as the one for MainStage3, guess I'll just update the living room iMac and see if it requires any update to Logic Remote before touching the studio MBP.
Just discovered my iStomp app updated and I lost half the fx in the last version DigiTech released before going dark. It's hard out here on the bleeding edge of obsolescence...

One can also do it with earlier versions without samrt time, just dont edit your audiotracks and you get human feel, someone also can tell the drummer human feel, even the thing can swing the right way if you tell the drummer what to do...

Yes but smart tempo now figures out the common time across multiple tracks. I guess good if people are a little out ? Not always certain new features,really add big value ?

Nice explanation of new SMart tempo adapt feature from ua forum member:
macdutch said: 17th May 2018 If you use Logic 10.4 it has a brand new tempo setting called "Adapt" which will automatically create a tempo map for you if you record for instance a guitar and voice. Then Select "Keep" and the rest of all takes and recordings will automatically follow that first take. I have used Melodyne since version 1 but this new adapt-feature in Logic works like a charm and easy. I don't know if other DAWS do this as elegantly or at at all.

I'm speaking about C1 specifically. In the DAWs not listed above, volume/pan/send is entirely processed from within the C1 plugin wrapper, meaning that the DAW channel strips should remain panned stereo center, channel fader at unity etc... I'm also predominately a keyboard/mouse user and as much as I'd like to remove as much screen time from my mixing experience as possible, I'm still reliant on the visual cues I've grown used to in the Logic mixer - when all of that information is hidden in the C1 wrappers it's just another layer of confusion for me. As much as I love the idea of hardware controllers, it's been tough to break the muscle memory and so the more hardware/daw integration the better! Anywho, back to the Logic update thread

No probs, I found after a couple of sessions with C1, I just got used to it, but I agree that all these toys add complexity. One of the reasons I took the flyer on the delta and ob: it’s all about signal flow ! So far, no problems here with logic update, old sessions working perfectly and tracking a new song with zero problems.
