Logic Pro X, worth it?
Posted on: 03.11.2013 by Tobias Merrills
So i am debating the upgrade to Logic Pro X. However i am curious what other producers believe about it as well?
Any bugs? Problems with 64 bit support only? New drum sequencer any good?
Thanks!

I saw that too. I really gotta spend more time with drummer. I didnt realize that you could export the notes to midi. That adds a whole other dimension to what it can do. I did this quick track where I layered drummer and ultrabeat just to play around a bit. https://soundcloud.com/subdo/bad-man

A lot of the "drummers" are clearly targeted at pop/rock but there is a funk drummer that you can tweak to get some great grooves.

08.11.2013		I can only really echo what else has been said already, the non 32 plugin side of things is a bit sucky, but like has been mentioned, there are some 3rd party bridges but again, I am not keen on the idea of messing with these.

I like the new layout and colour scheme, and some of the new toys that are in there (I also wish there was a step sequencer in there too).

The drummer is pretty cool though, nice work Nick V; thats cookin'!

07.11.2013		Thats friggin groovy, but the non 32 bit support scares me....If nothing is really to ground braking different i might just save that money for an analog synth and keep my 32 bit plugins.
