Logic Pro 8

[tekara]

I don't know why, but I never really got into Logic because I thought it was so complicated and overly professional for me.

I started out using cubase where i just plug in a VST, open up a midi step sequencer and randomize my basslines for some inspiration if i ever have writers block.

I bought Logic 7 when it was out because I thought it would have this "step designer"
midi plugin i was totally disappointed when I realized i had to "build environments" and manually drag pointers to certain keys where it could do randomize within those key points.

Maybe it had nothing to do with the step sequencer at all and it was just the fact that i started out with cubase so i was uncomfortable leaving that zone. Who knows, maybe one day i will give it another shot (since im on a Mac anyways and it works beautifully).

I have to admit though, some of those plugins were BEAUTIFUL.

If Logic released them as seperate VST's i would buy them right away.

only just started getting into logic 8 but they have completely reworked the enviroment section and made it more user friendly.

good point.

Another reason why i may want to check into the logic is how it works with Mac so fluidly. Also, for some reason Mackie REFUSES to make their C4 controller compatible with Cubase.

I basically have an unused C4 Mackie controller sitting at home in a box being left unused.
