I am a longtimeLogic Prouser , and like many in the community I had been wondering when Logic Pro 8 would last see the light of 24-hour interval . The expectancy raised my expectations quite significantly , both in terms of young feature and fixes . From what I ’ve seen from Apple ’s announcement last week , it search like it was deserving the three - twelvemonth wait .
Of course , my last perspicacity will have to wait until I have sufficient time to use the covering , but , at first glance , Logic Studio offers some very compelling reasons to promote . Perhaps the biggest of all is the redesigned interface .
I really do n’t care most of the pro audio interfaces on the market . Audio software system company want me to look through an endless array of windows to regain the one I necessitate , which is a accomplished waste product of my sentence . And , while I did n’t necessarily detest Logic ’s port , but there was plenty of it to dislike .
I have taken more time than I should have to fix up presets and workspace in older versions of Logic ( and other programs ) , but nothing stuck . When I seem at Logic 8 ’s one - windowpane user interface — which convey the most used tools to the front — it looks like just what I have demand . Sure , there will be windows that I utilise that are n’t viewable via the primary interface , but I ’m somewhat indisputable that I can deal with that .
I also care the fact that Apple did n’t take anything away . I still have access to the Environment window or any other window if I really want it .
logical system 8 looks like it has a few unexampled whiz - bang features too , like Quick Swipe Comping . Swipe over the good portions of each take to make a comp — are you kidding me ? I have intercourse I ’ll be using that .
By and large , though , it was the simpler thing about Logic that make me giddy with anticipation : affair like multi - take recording , portable preferences and recording a bus . I will now have the capability to register instruments like FXpansion’sBFDdrum module into an audio track . These little things alone make me think the $ 199 upgrade will be worth it .
allow ’s not leave Apple drop the penury for a USB certificate key : now , just type in your sequent phone number and you ’re done . It might not sound like a bad thing , but try move around and blank out that stupid small Francis Scott Key at home .
take the length of metre it took to come in out , I ’m glad Apple made it a major ascent and not a commixture of bug fixes . I ca n’t wait to be given it through its paces in my home studio apartment . If you want a little deep info about the upgrade , Apple has a nice group of video on theLogic Prosite , as well as a comprehensivePDFdetailing the new feature .
