Easier To Learn Log 6 Then To Learn 5 And Upgrade? Options

[Drainland]

Hi everyone,

I've decided I want to purchase Logic Plat 6 (I don't have any software at the moment) but I've noticed that you can buy the EMI 6/2 production kit with Logic gold 5 in it.

Although this is tempting to do, as you get the other software in the box and you can still upgrade to 6 - I'm wondering as I'm starting from scratch would life just be easier for me to just learn using Logic 6 from the start? It seems that even if I got the upgrade package for 5 to 6 straight away, I might have to learn on 5 (cos the manual would be for 5), then switch to 6, maybe have to relearn some things, and also only have an addendum manual with 6 to go at. Which seems like hassle and a lot less straight forward.

I guess the other things in the box are not essential to me, as I have various hardware and intend to get a motu 828 and an MT4 anyway.

I just wondered what you guys thought.

Many thanks.

I have Logic Audio 5.5, they are so similar that it probably won't affect your workflow.

All you would have to learn are the new features.

I also own DP3, and Cubase5. Logic is definately an accquired taste. So I'm starting with Logic Audio, and plan to update to gold or Platinum.

If you don't require TDM support, the bundles are a better value, because you get the soft-synths and the app for the cost of a soft-synth.

When I originally bought the BIg Box, I was shopping for a VSTi, ended up with 3 soft-synths and my app of the future.
