Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Although in theory I agree I guess all depends on what you wanna do in both long and short term.

$300 is not that bad a buy for what you get and provides a very wide range of options not just a single bass option. 

Basic updates are fine and free it is only full version Upgrades that will require additional payments.

 

I have Trillion because I don’t wanna learn bass guitar at the moment..(although  it is one of my long term goals.)

Trillian is fantastic and provides assorted bass instruments including jazz bass, fretless, Chapman Stick, upright string etc..  And I simply would never learn all those.

 

But again a real player I will almost always be better but as a good (excellent) backup for $300 Trillian is hard to beat (IMHO).

(just check the video’s on the site and also on other sites such as the Sonicstate.com WNAMM video’s)

For $300 you can buy Trilian - and then eventually you'll pay more for 
upgrades. And you get a wide range of sounds, but its unclear how 
driving and dynamic any software can be. Or you can use the virtual 
instruments in logic for free, and try to grunge them up a bit.

Or you can spend $300 on a used Fender P-bass (mexican maybe), and then 
have a real bass with real drive. You can use the amp sim plugs in 
logic. And even if you don't play bass, you can pick it up pretty fast 
and get better results than trying to write bass lines in the sequencer.

Another option is to hire one of these guys on the internet. But it can 
lead to some money too. It was very nice of someone here to offer to 
record these for free, but if you have more than a few songs, that is 
going to get tiring to record all kinds of stuff.

Totally agree regarding Trilian. Not only does it give realistic 
sounding bass sounds it is highly configurable.

Definitely worth the money in my opinion.

Hi

Can't really help re Rhythm/Strumming guitar but..

For a driving bass have you looked at Spectrasonics Trillian.
Pretty good plug-in.. Not exacly cheap but a worthwhile investment if 
you wil be needing to do bass likes often.
It can be previewed at 
http://www.spectrasonics.net/instruments/trilian.php
and at this location there are some video's.

If you have Logic v9.x you can also use some of the stomp box effects 
and amp effects to add some additional grind etc.

OK never exactly like a real playing human but probably as close as you 
will bet without and way way better than the Logic inbuilt ones.

I don't have access to any guitar players, and I need a strumming guitar
part in a song. It won't be soloed, but I do need to be able to choose 
my
own chords. The acoustic guitars in Logic are a bit rubbish as far as I
can see, and the ones that add chords have a very limited range of 
chords
(unless of course I am missing something, which I might well be).

Can anyone suggest an affordable and reasonably good and simple was for 
a
non guitarist to get something that sounds reasonably authentic?

The other thing I am failing with at the moment is a driving bassline. 
To
my untutored ears there are loads of very good bass sounds in Logic, but
no matter how much I practice, they just sound like me playing them on a
keyboard (and I am a pretty good keyboard player). Any ideas, other than
find a bass player?

Thanks in advance
