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.

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.

Looks pretty. I know some serious audio engineers who swear by ProTools though.
- Well protools is a bit more high end than Logic, more features, more expensive. Logic is more for amateur putting shit together at home.CygnusZero4

- You have no clue what you are talking about.severian
- I use Logic Pro every day buddy boy. It is not Pro Tools.CygnusZero4
- I have never even been to a real studio that uses logic. They use pro tools.CygnusZero4
- Studio will have ProTools if an artist requests it. Logic is more suited for composition, not tracking or mixing.ltjohnrambo

Looks awesome at first glance. I've been meaning to start recording more lately and work on some new solo songs. Might have to make the upgrade, but I remember the previous upgrade process to be quite a pain to just make sure all files are installed, old stuff removed, etc. in fact I don't think I ever removed all of 8 because I was afraid it would affect certain things - like the sound packs and audio files.
Did anyone else remove 100% of 8 when they upgraded to 9? If I recall, the upgrade version didn't come with ALL the files, so the samples and sound packs from 8 were still needed. Would love some clarification on that.

I've also really been wanting to go take a one-month class at the Apple store to learn some logic basics that I might have missed in using it for the past few years. Midi stuff and editing especially.
- that'd be a great thing to do imoprophetone
- Yeah, they're free, one class a week.mg33
- i should see if this exists at the Vancouver storeprophetone

it is pretty. the logic nerds were worried it was going to become a glorified garageband+ toy app but clearly they've stuck to the pro audio thing here and made some improvements to boot. i was waiting to see what they were going to do with it and i'm pleasantly surprised i guess.
- Still skeptical after the whole Final Cut X debaclelocustsloth
- well kinda apples and oranges. they excluded an industry standard feature there, here it's all the same junk incl. +prophetone
- but this thing may be buggy mc buggerson who knows. i'm holding off for a minute to see feedback.prophetone

i was waiting to ditch pro tools is what it boils down to...

Prophet1 - do you have a nice big monitor? It is a joy using Logic on my Thunderbolt Display. That ipad app would be a nice add on.
- i have the 24" led display which is great but the native res could be better imo...prophetone
- but my mac pro will prob be toast in the next osx or two, it almost was with the last oneprophetone
- so maybe the res-tastic giant imac is in my futureprophetone

Nice and only $199
- well yeah, i have pro tools 8 and i can spend $$$ to get it updated or spend $ and dive into logic. good value.prophetone

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

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

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

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

damn, no upgrade option from 9? - which, in terms of bugs and new features. definitely the worst logic i've owned...
- They've been doing this for awhile now. It Sucks

Here's a good resource for Logic questions:

Much better than the Apple forums, IMHO.

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%.
