![]() ![]() More modern plugins such as the new logic reverb (Who's name i've forgotten) do halt playback a little bit when first loading them up, for example. GPU in mine (ATI HD 2600 XT 256mb), it's severely lacking by modern standards. But, obviously showing it's age a little bit at times:- i.e. I'm still running it, on 10.4.2 now and it's been good, it's super solid, i can't think of any stability issues i've experienced. So it's probably not a bad thing for me to come out of the comfort of Logic, I mean, there's times i've just pulled up the Liverpool Bass instrument in Logic rather than plug my actual Bass guitar in as it's a few foot out of reach, as an example! ![]() ![]() I'm a guitarist who loves his rock/indie music yet i'm easily pulled into a synth realm, which is more the techy/geeky side of me. So after a month or so, i'm going to sit and listen to what i've done with either and decide on which is best for me that way. And i think Reaper is going to fit that requirement for my particular setup and way of wanting to work.īugs and workflow aside i think the best judge is on what you actually produce using different tools. So i just want something quick to get my ideas down, but not too 'easy' to be pushing out watered down crap. ![]() There's a big bug where i miss the Logic compressors, flex time, mackie support and drummer already lol, you don't appreciate what a wonderful suite Logic has when it's taken away but it's just been zapping my creativity recently, after 10.4 and a great update i just felt really down on Logic and was unable produce anything in it, just found myself tinkering and procrastinating - really weird, but that spiralled and annoyed me, then the silly things that take my mind away from being creative just became so evident when i'm thinking 'Why have i been working like this for years?!'. Good luck, you are gonna find problems and bugs. So, let's not rule out the benefits of Apple running an optimised app which makes use of it's latest technologies.Īs someone who's mid-jumping ship because of Logic's one foot in the past, i'm a big supporter for them pushing forwards - i just wish it was on some of the more core/legacy components that's running at it's core. Logic still is the CPU king because of that i feel, Ableton Live falls down under a fraction of the load you can put on Logic, Studio One the same, and as for Reaper it's not fully Mac optimised. That said, i think it make sense that Apple would be pushing their own progression of frameworks on flagship products to show developers the improvements they can have - it's on them to do so to lead developers that way. You record enable a track, but you forgot to change it in the environment - damn! The larger the product gets the more confusing it becomes too when i'm fleshing ideas out. To keep going into the environment on a large res monitor and make minute adjustments for the entire project when i just want to select or exclude a device per track is really soul destroying. I love Logic, and will really miss it and it's suite of plugins, but using external sequencers such as drum machines, and synths with arps that are constantly throwing MIDI data out, well, Logic is terrible at managing if you want to audition it but not record - yet it's always had such a good reputation for MIDI devices. Silly things like fully automatic track/region colouring based on track name is such a welcome bonus and still making me smile each time i see it. Reaper so far has been incredibly flexible to fit my workflow, the customisation really is incredible after working in such a ready-made environment which is cozy, and it doesn't seem to be forcing me down a specific route like Logic has for years. In theory it's good, but in practise it still reacts odd at times. Logic's never been good at just hitting the record button mid-loop and record a take across multiple tracks either (If not setup first), and that's another bug bear i've had with it for years. Why there's a need for the environment for excluding/including MIDI devices from the sequencer, and the silly method of demixing AFTER recording from multiple MIDI devices at once. My frustrations with Logic is how there's still many legacy components that haven't progressed. I'm currently moving to Reaper, but it's not for these reasons. ![]()
