Run your mics/preamps to your interface box and plug them into the mixing board. Just think: "how would this work in a studio?" You route your I/O, set up your sequencers and route them to a synth/sampler, plug those boxes into an audio input. Therefore, they get to PT or DP and they have no idea what they're supposed to do. The sad thing is that Logic has taken that natural world away from people, and they often do not know what is even going on under the hood. It is set up on that model, and it operates that way. It works perfectly naturally in a way that was always intuitively grasped with ease by anyone who has ever worked in an analog/digital studio with real microphones, instruments, and even MIDI sequencers. That seems more like some kind of PlaySkool toy. What's odd is a single track that is an instrument, a MIDI track, and an audio track all rolled into one, with a little picture of the instrument on it. THAT is the way the analog world worked for 6 or 8 decades, and is not odd.
The virtual instruments are kept in V-Racks, which is a means of making them feel, operate, and seem like actual MIDI rack gear, where you have the instruments over here in this rack, and you have a MIDI track that plays them, and you have an audio track that receives their output. The irony is too much.ĭP is based on tape machines and mixing boards. Then, when they go to a very natural, musical DAW, they think IT is the one that's odd. Therefore, everyone learns it first, now, facilitated by Garageband, or Logic Jr. It was designed by computer programmers for computer programmers, and it does not work in a way that seems natural to most musicians I've talked to about it.īut Logic, a niche player in the DAW market, became huge after Apple bought it. Logic made everything seem non-linear and weird. The main thing is to not get bogged down in the possibilities of DP, since even the way you work in DP can be heavily modified by you, unlike the straight linear workflow of Logic.įair warning though, DP is addictive once you get over the oddity of it.ĭP? Odd? Logic is odd. With Chunks you can also have a virtual 'rack' of instruments you're using in your song variations, so that you save CPU and the Chunks open quickly being just audio and MIDI.Īt first when learning DP I would just work in a single Chunk, then start using it gradually, that way the concept doesn't overwhelm you. of a song, you can drag and drop Chunks into each other, so it's helpful for things like variations on a break etc.Īnother oddity of DP is the lack of MIDI on instrument tracks, this is because of Chunks. Chunks can also be the bridge, break, chorus etc. What this allows is for you to work on a project and have the 3 1/2 minute radio version, the prog rock ten minute version and various rearrangements of the song all existing in the same open Project. In DP you can actually have as many 'arrange' pages as you want. In Logic it's the Arrange page, it's where the entirety of the open project resides. To explain this, in any other Sequencer/audio track DAW you have basically one linear timeline to deal with. I've written whole songs without using that feature once.
The main difference between Logic and DP is Chunks, and you simply don't have to work with Chunks to use DP. Any info or insight is greatly appreciatedĮx Logic devotee here, I love DP but I think about X and all the great features they put in since I last used it even now. I'd finish my tasks in seconds, and it was clear that DP had far fewer dialogs, windows, and "busy work" in order to get things done.Ĭameronyousef092 wrote:Could anybody describe how difficult it is to learn DP if you already work with Logic? I've been working with logic for a little while now but I want to learn DP in order to intern for a composer. Plus, each time we recorded something, it was obvious that the DP engineer (me) was having a very easy time of it. I was very surprised that DP won unanimously. I was involved in one in Las Vegas back in 2001, and we had a panel of about 8 very prominent music, recording, and audio guys, all working there, including myself. A number of us have experienced DAW shootouts, sometimes even double-blind, and DP has a tendency to win those, often unanimously. You're by no means alone in thinking that. Some very careful tests have been done, and DP has come out on top.Īnyways, I did my own tests, and to my ears, DP wins out.įor that reason, along with every else that MOTU does right, I'll always speak up for DP in my own humble way. very subjective, etc.lots of arguments about nulling this and that and making sure that panning is the same, etc. I thinks DP puts out better sound, and many others thinks so as well.
