Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

1. It's easy to see if a file has been clipped by opening the Wave 
Editor and look for a
flat top or bottom to the general wave form.

And while I'm there,

2. I can click, drag (highlight) and save any portion of that file and 
save it to use with your sampler (save it as a sample)

3. Instead of Normalizing, I like to use the increase volume window in 
the wave editor
  to find the highest peaks, I will then lower these peaks by 1-2 or 3 
db until I get a more uniform output for the file, It's easy then to 
raise the overall volume by 1-2 or 3 db. Useful if
you want to keep the fader around 0 db.

A quicker solution is to use a compressor but sometimes you may not 
want to increase
the volume of quieter instruments.

4. Offline bouncing is great for productivity when with clients who 
need a quick mix
and now with the ability to bounce and burn, it cuts at least a half 
hour out of the
process.

5. Also love the fact you can create a track from beginning to end just 
with the
included instruments and effects.

6. Logic has always had great depth when editing files, whether you 
need to fade,
cross fade or simply find the exact millisecond you need to cut.... the 
arrange zoom
feature will get you there.

7. The environment has always seemed a bit daunting to me and so now 
it's great
you don't need to fuss in there to get what you want happening, you can 
throw in a template
and create your own unique auto load.

Thats for starters
