Learn all you can on the Marquee Tool, that,s the equivalent of the smart tool in PT. I will definitely start reading the manual and ask around for specific questions. If I want to switch DAW I have to accept that workflow will be different and features will be missing.Īutomation preview for example, I used A LOT while mixing, I will have to find a way to work without this. When I was deciding whether or not to ditch prorools I looked at a bunch of DAW trying to find one that would be pretty much a prorools clone bit I soon realized that if I want protools functionalities I simply need to use protools. Maybe you'll do better than me by just diving in, though! It just depends on how your brain is wired. (Also: this series was a very helpful overview for me: ) What finally worked: rather than trying to immediately correlate Pro Tools' workflows to Logic's, I started from the ground-up and learned how Logic operated by reading the manual (it's really great!), watching a lot of YouTube videos (MusicTechHelpGuy, Why Logic Pro Rules), and reading this forum (also, really great). Instead, I ended up abandoning it for a few years and kept using other DAWs. But while you can do just about everything in Logic that you can do in Pro Tools, all software is designed with a distinct point-of-view and I didn't understand that. I thought I'd just open it up and start working and figure it out as I went along. My initial attempt at learning Logic was incredibly frustrating. No worries, I'll start new threads as I go, thanks. Thanks for your understanding! And welcome to Logic Pro Help by the way. On top of that, each one of these topics can be helpful to every Logic users, not only users who switched from Pro Tools.īTW I'm not opposed to keeping this topic to discuss general ProTools to Logic conversion tips, I'm suggesting starting new individual topics for the more specific technique questions. That's how we can keep this forum organized. It means also that bots know how to index that topic and it will show up when someone googles "snap audio selection to transients logic pro" for example. This means any visitor can tell at a glance what that topic is about. On top of that, it means you can give each topic a title that describes the topic by summing it up, such as for example "Snap selection to audio transient key commands?". I find that it's always enriching to all of us to hear how others are doing things, and there are often more than one way to do things. This allows us to keep one discussion based on a single workflow (for example, selecting audio snapping to transients with key commands, or for another topic, apply fades with key commands) on an individual thread, which makes it much easier for anyone to participate and share their own workflow. What I would recommend is that you post each question that pops up during your normal workflow in a new individual topic. I moved from Pro Tools to Logic but that was in 1998. I would do the same to apply fades, any key commands for fades btw? One use for that would be for example: select an area on Track 01, press key command to trim both ends, move one or many track down, repeat. Anything would be appreciated, from editing tips to mixing.įor example I used to move my audio selection range with key command very easily and in Logic I can't find how if its even possible. I realize Logic isn't a protools replacement but I was wondering if any of you who made the jump might have some tips for me. Since I've been with protools forever, (HD version with advanced automation on top of that), I feel like a total beginner and that's as exiting as frustrating to learn a new DAW. I since sold a lot of my gear and HDX rig and prefer not to give Avid any more money at this point so I bought Logic after trying a bunch of different DAWs. when I decided to take a brake it didn't make sense to renew my protools HD (now ultimate) perpetual licence and since then Avid has stopped offering reinstatement plan or whatever they call it. I had a commercial room with a 32 i/o protools HDX rig with a bunch of outboard and summing, very cool hybrid mixing/mastering setup.Īnyway. Prior to that I was recording/mixing full time as a living but I got to a point where it made me sick and I had to take a break. I've been in the recording industry for 15 years now and in the last two years I decided to slow things down, go back to school to learn other things and focus on raising a family.
