What is the diferrence between .aif and .aiff formats?

There's no difference between the two. They're the same file with different extension (one has an extra f - meaning 'format' - at the end). Find out what sample and bit rates they want as well.

Congrats on your contract... just make sure you read it thoroughly before signing.

Perhaps forget about the "logistics" and just make some music. 🙂

My Sensei once taught me: techniques occurs in the absense of conscious thought.

Logic has no problem delivering what is being asked of you... I, as well as many others, do this all the time.

I wish somebody else could help me with EQ levels,
compressions and the entire audio engineering. I
have so many songs that are musically done, however,
I am stuck with the technical aspects of the finished
product. I rather compose than read manuals on how
to, for example, eliminate peaks. Logic has its
learning curve and I am not good at technicalities!
But, I can't yet afford to pay a professional to do
it for me.

Anya, what kind of music do you write? Why don't you send me an email (click on my nick name to find it...) , I'll be glad to help with all that EQ levels, compression and the entire engeneering 😉

Congrats on your contract.
That is great news.
I came at recording from the same place as you are.
I am still not very technical at all and things others learn - or seem to learn to easily - have been tough going for me. Both computer and electronic wise.
But the good news is that although it seems like a mountain now. Learn just one thing at a time. Break it in to peices. You'll be surprised how fast it all comes together.

Also stay on this forum. I am amazed at how much I learn from this.

Best of luck.

Trust me... you can! Just keep asking questions and feel free to elicit constructive feedback on your mixes. There are a number of us here, myself included, that would be happy to help you out and give you whatever advice we can.

In this case it's not a question of Logic itself. It's more of a question of audio engineering, which is more knob tweaking than manual reading. 🙂

Just to add my hat into the ring along with DD's, feel free to send me an email as well. I can't always guarantee an immediate response, as I have a bunch of contract work to get done, but I will get back to you.

Can I ask?
Is it with Peermusic?
Tell me it's none of my business and I won't be offended.
Peer in Toronto anyway are also a great help to me over past many years. They have some really good songwriters who are experienced engineers and often like to help.
Also A&R guy is good with knob twirling as well.
Maybe tap in to your publisher as a technical resource as well as here. If they can't help they would want to direct you to those who can.
Cheers
Dee

No worries. Can't wait to hear your mixes.
