![]() ![]() ![]() The default setting of track icons is annoying, because one has to remove them from each project. Besides, the names of the styles and the styles themselves are destined for outdatednes within a few years. I concur with your dismay over the Drummer feature, which is better off as part of Garageband, since anyone meriting the designation "Logic Pro" is writing their own drum parts. how am I going to get out of this parking space?" Perhaps I've just been unusually unlucky, but I've been unusually unlucky one too many times now. I've long felt that Logic is like buying a beautiful car with a luscious interior and kickin' stereo system, but a subpar engine under the hood and horrible surprises every other day like "oh, today it won't turn while in reverse. This isn't the first problem I've had with Logic functions that I consider fundamental to how a DAW needs to perform. So I downloaded and installed Reaper this afternoon and within 5 minutes I had my SY2 bass part recorded with less latency and tighter overall timing than I've ever had with Logic (even before it was totally broken). Then I had it confirmed that it's a known "bug" and has been for awhile. I have multiple MIDI interfaces (all tried) and after a decade I know Logic's preferences and MIDI settings very well. I fought with it for 10 hours trying to get it to work (like it used to) while recording a sequenced bass part. The only thing I feel a little bad about, is thatĪt it's price point, and how useful it's been for me, I should have gone legit with it sooner than I did.Ĭlick to expand.Like most breakups it's more an accumulation of issues, rather than just one thing, but yesterday's straw was discovering that on many systems (including mine) Logic X's MIDI timing is broken in projects where there are graduated tempo changes (i.e. Have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with this DAW for many years, and it remains my default, and my go to,Īnd the best at doing what I want a DAW to do. Updates, that are frequent, and often substantial. To specially mesh with Reaper to increase functionality.Īs you have probably have seen also, pump milk 's thread with the Reaper There are other solutions, some free, some not, that are made Solutions, which they do, and some of them are quite ingenious. there are people on Reaper's forum complaining, mainly about midi handling, but then users can script their own very few pieces of software have impressed me with how they just seem to have covered so many of the things you might want to do I have found myself doing something from an intuitive impulse or even searching for something I want to do, and it's already there, just have to find out where it lives in the menus. Same guy who did the official Reaper tutorials with ask video for the previous versions but now he does them for free or maybe Reaper pays him now.īest of luck and happy I think you will find yourself a new Reaper fan. If you do decide to go the reaper route be sure to check out Kenny Gioia's ReaperMania channel on YouTube it's the same tutorials on the reaper site just in a playlist, or his site here And having all the different mixer views and track views as recallable Screen sets is really cool. ![]() Reaper does have some really nice skins though I like to use the default dark one found on the reaper stash site. Studio one looks cleaner and is easier to look at for hours on end. I do feel you on the visual aspects of them though. Reaper is so lean and mean and can handle more work load and plugins than any DAW I have ever seen. ![]() The only thing that I can see that would really set them apart is performance. I have learned both Studio One and Reaper over the years and written, recorded (vox, bg vox, gtrs/bass) and finished tracks in both. Going to miss a few of my fallback EXS-24 instruments. Beyond that I'm not sure what else it's going to offer me that Reaper won't once I get to know its interface. Studio One feels more like what I'm used to. As far as I can tell the only downside for me and Reaper is the initial learning curve and the minor superficial matter of how freakin' ugly it is. I want a dev that listens to bug reports and fixes what needs fixin' ahead of dreaming up what the next release's gimmick will be. It feels at first like this is going to be a tougher transition than Studio One would be, but I'm leaving Logic Pro because ultimately I don't give a shit for cute cartoon characters that can do my drumming for me (on a nice birch kit that sits atop lush Indian rug), if the DAW itself isn't rock fucking solid when it comes to the basics. The camel is pissed and auditioning new software tonight. Another straw has broken the camel's back. ![]()
