why is logic pro so hard??

ive been a fruity loops user for about 4 years now but decided to jump on the apple bandwagon and get a macbook.

so now im stuck with having to use logic because fruities doesnt work on mac, which is kind of okay because ive been looking to try out a more professional software anyway but logic is soo hard!!! all i want to do is put a kick sample into piano roll, make a pattern, then loop that pattern. and do the same with other samples. its like apple have purposefully made music making hard. i know if it was easy everyone would do it. but im sick of spending hours on logic and logic tutorials for no results at all.

Hi Mikey.

So I understand well your frustration.

Normal reaction, switch to an unknown software could be very dificult.

Logic (when you know it) is absolutly perfect to do all stuff

But Fruity Loops is an awsome Daw as well, i love it too.

For good starting, can advise you on the drums programming .

Learn about the EXS24 sampler, a very powerful plugin.

Open the EXS24, and on the high right corner you have a little tab "EDIT"

Then an Edit page will open.

Drag and Drop your samples. and it's done!

This, my friend, is the internet and there is no room for any of that mealy-mouthed, conciliatory, nonsense here.

Yes! Nigel's attitude (or lack thereof) has violated several sacred Internet tenets.

Sory for the inconvenience but I had to "bail" at some point. Otherwise, the book would be 800 pages and cost $200. BTW ' getting already close to the limit of the file size I can upload for a printed book

Thanks!

I will try my best to finish the book in the next few days but I have the feeling it will not happen. June/July would be a bit more realistic.

Look at the bright side. Maybe Apple will update Logic in the meantime to give us the EXS24 v2 we are waiting for years. Maybe it even includes the Keymap functionality from Redmatica. If that happens, I will have that chapter in the second book.

I'm not arguing if the Trackpad is better, I tell you that it is better. 😁

Of course, like so many things, it comes down to personal preference. From my experience, I would not go back using a mouse.

BTW, a TrackPad realy starts to shine when used with the BetterTouchTools app, talking about cusomization !!!

I'm waiting for QuadHD multi-touch with stylus support in a drafting table form factor.

Then we'll be cooking with gas.

Great!

I'll hold you to that.

If you get it done by Wednesday, that should leave a couple days to get it to Apple, so I should be reading it on the weekend.

Perfect!

Since you are clearly on the inside, I take it that Logic X v2 is coming soon and will have this Redmatica functionality in EXS24. I don't know what it is, but I am excited!

Thanks for the heads up...

Apr 12, 2014 4:26 PM in response to Mark Stockwell

Actually I just looked up this Redmatica thingy.

Apple bought them recently.

Hmmmm.

I was just kidding.

But....
