Hi, I was wondering if anybody could help me here.
I am a semi professional singer songwriter with a new album. I recently purchased Logic Express 7.0 after cutting my teeth with Garageband, and think its great. I am slowly working my way around the program and have already finished one song. However my next project has a difficult syncopated rhythm guitar part throughout and after a dozen or so takes I manged to get a half decent cut. I understand there is quantization in Logic and have used this with some success in garageband. However for the life of me I can't find it anywhere despite reading and re-reading the manual. It says there is a Q button in the peripherals, but it's not there. On some midi and instrument tracks a Quantization menu appears at the top of the peripherals window but not in an audio region. As for the Q button I just can't find it. Also, after successfully mixing a song in the mixer then adding some manual fades at the end makes it sems impossible to re-adjust the sound again, without it reverting to a fixed automated volume. I have to clear all automation info and start again. Whew, it's a learning curve alright but it is brilliant. Any experts out there I would love to hear from you. Please out my website: www.nigelgjones.co.uk Regards Nigel |

Bus is a signal path - for example, you could put a reverb on a bus and route your audio tracks to it at differing levels of Wet/Dry, thereby only using one instance of your effect.
Read, Write, Latch, etc. are all about how you actually record the automation - clicking on nodes, with the track stopped, or moving sliders on the fly. There used to be a features comparison of Pro and Express on ther Apple/Emagic website. I worked through the Apple Training guide (for Logic Pro) and tagged all the features which weren't present in Express. None of them (and there were quite a few) were dealbreakers - it's still a good and powerful piece of software. Make sure you unlock some of the demo instruments - the B3 sim is a killer!
