I'm considering Logic Express and have played around with the 30 day demo. I've imported the Garageband demo songs so I can get to know it, and also MIDI files, but without a manual and no prior experience with DAW software I'm stuck and need some help:
1) It seems that you can only use 5 effects per track -is this true? Someone told me that equalizing/tone controls also counts as effects, so 5 seems very limiting to me. 2) I currently don't have any MIDI interface with my Mac, but thought I'd be able to try out the MIDI capabilities of Logic by having it play Quicktime instruments and/or some sort of soft-synth like Garageband has, but I'm not getting any audio output at all. I assume I have to assign instruments/channels somewhere. Where/how do I do this? (I'm on a 1.67GHz PowerBook G4 with MacOS 10.4.9) This post has been edited by keybie: Mon 9 Apr 2007, 18:20 |
