Man, this program is so counter-intuitive and complicated I broke down and bought a pro training manual just to figure it out.

Is there any major advantage over reaper? It does have some instruments included and it integrates with GarageBand which is good for making some loops and stuff. Usually, I like to just track with Reap but working upstairs (in the light and warmth) I want to get better at making disco music ;D

Disco music with crazy guitar? Well, why not.
Yeah, you could spend years digging into Logic (the app) - it's not "easy peasy" by any means.
However, the sessions read/writes 100% with GarageBand which is really easy and that might be enough for some of you.

I use Logic Pro pretty much exclusively and have had great results - it is very transparent and simple so it doesn't get in the way. I particularly like Logic"s Ultrabeat drum software.

Hmmmm, as a former Cubase user I don't find much easy about Logic. Actually, I started out with Sonar (one of my bassists was a beta tester for Cakewalk and he let me have a copy) and then used Vegas. Cubase was easy having those under my belt and then Reaper is a snap because those guys basically set out to make a better Vegas. But Logic? I can muddle along but there's just a lot of layers

I think much of it depends on what you used before. I used to use Traction which is somewhat similar to Logic, so it was a bit of a natural progression. I have not found much use for Logic's pre amps - although the delay designer is very cool and useful. I tend to use my ENGL pre most of the time with the occasional use of a Digitech GSP 1101 rack preamp.

Oh, man, the book arrived today. It looks beastly. Though, from what I've heard, even old pros with Logic can learn a lot from it and that this book, more or less, is the manual for certified logic trainers. Ugh! Wish me luck, fellas.

What's the book called? Logic Pro 9 and Logic Express 9: Professional Audio Production by Nahmani, part of the Apple Pro Training Series. Master this book and you can go down to an Apple store and take a test for professional certification....not going to do that, obviously, but it is comprehensive and deep.

That should keep you busy, especially now that you have tenure I have a predictable and repeating pattern to my activities. For months I'm obsessed with reading and writing and will just dabble with guitar and whatnot....then, for whatever reason, perhaps some goal is reached, I shift over to music for a stretch (weeks or months) and I'll read and write a lot but only about music and guitar, etc. Then something will pull me back to the academic stuff. Weird

I find Logic Pro to be quite a beast. It is a lot easier having come from GBand. I am a book guy, so I bought a book when I upgraded to Logic. I know there are a lot of features I do not get the max out of, but it still does what I need. The two things I need to master next are Ultrabeat (I still use iDrum) and the notation mode.

IE - your repeating cycle sounds like mine except mines is about computer stuff. C'est la vie.
Yeah, I'd love to run logic at a level where I could get the certification - I am a certification collector but that one would just be for fun.

Bruce I agree. I am pretty comfortable with it - I really like Ultrabeat. Then again, I probably use, at best, 1/20th of Logic's capabilities
