    Problematic in 64-bit with Lion

    • Written by from Lewes

    I am a composer professionally using Logic and am sorry to say that I am frustrated by the buggy nature and frequent pops and clicks etc. when running Logic in 64-bit in Lion. Snow Leopard by contrast, although not able to load as many tracks into RAM, was much more stable.

    Logic needs major update !!!

    • Written by from Kicevo

    This DAW is outdated already.There is so much to be improved all around
    Apple we mostly buy your hardware to use your software, if the software does not satisfy users then we do not need apple hardware. Logic have got great competitors these days who improved quite well their daws.
    Logic is a good piece of daw but for 2012 missing some very important features.....for example to not be able to edit multiple midi clips.........

    Anyway you can still make a great music in Logic but it would have been greater if we could look at much better graphic and much more logical way of using the software.

    Thanks.

    Not much improvement

    • Written by from San Francisco

    Upgraded from Logic 8 but other than some added loops, there is not much difference. They certainly have fixed the gazillion bugs the program has.

    I want auto tablature, and I want midi clock slave.

    • Written by from Regina

    If logic's notation could write tabs for a 6 string midi guitar (or even just smartly translate it's piano roll), that would very useful to me. If it could slave to the midi clock of outboard sequencers, that would be very useful to me.

    As far as I know neither of these things work like they could. For notation, it really is surprising how virtually NOTHING in the digital world can track and print tabs without eons of editing improper note placement.

    Awkward and the virtual instruments sound outdated

    • Written by

    I use Logic Studio a lot and I cannot help but feel the program is overly clunky - the interface needs to be streamlined - it takes multiple clicks to get even the simplest of tasks accomplished.

    Another jibe I have is that the virtual instruments and effects that come with Logic are mediocre and sound out-dated:

    The EXS, ES2 and Ultrabeat have graphical interfaces that look like they were designed in the mid-90s and sound very thin and microphonic.

    The Amp Designer is an especially weak effect and sounds nothing like a real guitar amp, all the amps are very brittle and digital sounding. Instead of poorly modelling 20 amps, they should have modelling 4 amps really well - quality over quantity please.

    I hope they can improve Logic in the next update.

    Logic vs Steinberg

    • Written by from Oviedo

    Logic have great features that I'm in love with. The only thing that I have to say is that they need to work on the issue of memory overload. With Steinberg Softwares, (Nuendo and Cubase, and even Studio One from PreSonus), This issue is long gone. Flex time is a bomb. You can edit drums in a heartbeat. Manipulate time and Pitch. Great loops for pre production. But lacking on memory handling. Still is a great program. I will have it in my pocket, Cubase or Studio One in one pocket and Logic inside the other.

    i dunno about that

    • Written by from fontana

    pro tools is simply a daw. is pro tools better, yes id say so, but hey don't look at me all weird! most people only use logic for the instrument plug in's and thats it. nobody mixes or does editing on logic because it's limited in feature that only pro tools offers!.from what i know the protocol is to always dump all your recorded virtual instruments into pro tools fro mixing. so which is better? I'd say pro tools for mixing and editing but besides that it's just a glorified garage band.
    p.s i do own logic but in 2 years of having it i cant count how many times ive used it (4 times)

    Pro Tools versus Logic???

    • Written by from lasvegas

    What have you been smoking/ Logic is a great program, I agree. But to even put it in the same league as Pro Tools 8; Come on... be serious.

    Fix Loops bug at high sampling rates

    • Written by from Monroe

    great product but,

    anyone wishing to create projects at high sample rates can't use apple loops. Once the sample rate is changed to anything higher than 48khz most of the loops are unusable. Please oh please fix this problem! Most people want to create projects at high sample rates!

    PROBLEMS!

    • Written by from Brooklyn

    Great product, but hold off for about a year while they fix the MANY bugs. I still spend about half of my time working in 8, because 9 keeps giving me "low memeory" messages. Hey apple, when are you going to fix this?

    Guitar Amp Simulator is terrible

    • Written by from PORTLAND

    As you may know, there are a number of $200 guitar amp/pedalboard plugins out there. I tested a few out, and settled on Amplitube because of its fairly realistic tones, response to playing and pick dynamics, and the sonic quality of the effects. Apple's free version that comes with Logic sounds like a circa 1990 multi effects processor. The distortions all sound fuzzy and digital-esque. The fuzzes are lifeless, with little in the way of trailing dynamics. Some of the modulation effects are okay, but nothing special.

    The majority of the vintage amp simulators ALL SOUND THE SAME. Did any guitarists test out these sounds? Did anyone compare them to real amps?

    Bring back PDF manuals

    • Written by from San Antonio

    This new version abandons hard copy and PDF manuals and replaces with slow, clumsy HTML Help Menu versions. Finding your answers--once easy--is no longer a snap.
