hi
Just thought I'd pop in and survey how many people are interested in learning Logic Pro X.
I have been using Logic Pro X for many years and have some experience to share. I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be a podcast album dedicated to the system in the AppleVis forums that discusses this topic, so I'm wondering if this idea might help. Is this useful?
My current idea is to record a dedicated beginner to advanced systematic album with VoiceOver How to use Logic Pro X to help people with audio editing, mixing, mastering, midi production, composing and writing music.
I am wondering if anyone is interested in this knowledge.
Thank you very much!

I used Logic 10.3.1-10.6, and found it very good with VoiceOver. I wrote some music, recorded it, recording on one track for a cupple different projects, and for what I needed it worked well. I'd like to know more, and if logic has changed.

I think you should record an episode and see what people think. I personally know I could be better with Logic; I'm still mostly on Reaper. Having something structured to listen to would probably help with that.

嘿,伙计们
我刚刚录制并上传了我的第一段录音到AppleVis,并等待审计。
希望它会给你一些新东西。
Please give me some feedback if you want .

I would love to have a series on logic. I know others who would enjoy this also. We, my fellow classmates and I, have been looking for comprehensive help with Logic. This would be very useful. We’ve been using GarageBand and we want to go forward with logic. Thank you for such a great idea!

Im all in

Thanks for this

If you ever want to contact me go ahead

Maybe I could interview about logic on my YouTube channel with you

Lmk if er into ut

Utan also no how to use logic pro

My experience is with Protools, so learning a new system would be great.

Hi Ming and All!

First go to logic.band on the web. yes, that's what you type for the web address. logic.band already has a wealth of videos etc. for the blind, teaching how to use logic pro x. I strongly encourage everyone to check it out, and Ming? I encourage you to contact Steve Martin (oreo monster) at logic.band so you can explore possibilities with him for coordinating your effort and sharing your work.

Second, I've studied logic pro for a few years now, and I've only scratched the surface. I think of logic pro as a huge moving van semi tractor trailer truck filled with shoe boxes, and every shoe box is filled with 3X5 cards, and each 3X5 card is filled with small print giving detailed information about a feature in logic pro.

In short, logic pro x is a professional digital audio work station. I'm a rank amature. I can use it, but it took me years to learn. I'm no genius when it comes to software, so you might progress far faster than me, but it's important to understand what you are getting yourself into before you begin. more, if your current DAW is working for you, such as garage band or reaper, and you are already doing everything you want, keep that in mind before diving in to logic pro x.

Third, go to logic.band anyway. They have resources that greatly improve the user interface for the blind, such as ninja keys.

Fourth, beginners should familiarize themselves with audio engineering generally before tackling a professional digital audio workstation like logic pro., For example, someone mentioned they look forward to improved sound from logic pro than what they are using now, but it's your audio interface (hardware, not software) that vastly determines the quality of sound between performer and computer. Having a good quality, accessible audio interface is very, very important. Don't look to the DAW to solve your sound quality problems. Oh sure, a good DAW can help, but the single most important thing I learn about audio engineering is that the source is everything. Strive for perfection in what is going to your DAW, and your work will be enormously easier.

Along with your audio interface, look to the quality of your microphones, cables and preamp. These also are huge for getting the best quality sound for your DAW. More, acoustics where you record is enormously important. Is the room acoustically treated? . Really, anything you can do to improve the sound before it ever reaches your computer has to come before any software you're using.

And then there's where you place your mics. I suggest reading up on Miking techniques. If anyone is interested, I can recommend a couple books I've read that I picked up in the Apple Books app that have proven extremely helpful for miking techniques and for how to care for your mics. You may not know it, but it is very easy to damage them.

Last, for informative discussions regarding audio engineering, I highly recommend "recording lounge" podcasts on the Apple podcast app. Recording Lounge has over 150 podcasts that quickly get to the point with a wealth of highly useful information.

Thanks Ming! Good luck, all! smile

Oh goodness me! Meant to have started on this painfully rewarding journey long long ago but never garnered enough buck for the bang haha!
For sure, if I go unemployed that long after this degree, it will be such a journey for me to dive headlong into. Well, I mean, still a bright side of life isn't it? 🤣🤣🤣.
