The Logic Off Topic list

I used to have Cakewalk Professional 8 until I traded it in for Logic Audio
Gold for \ufffd129 (at Sound Technology, UK - www.soundtech.co.uk).

I am now not sure whether getting Logic Audio was a good idea.  I am finding
it difficult to get the hang of, never mind master it - whereas with
Cakewalk, I mastered most of it in a short time (although I had used an
older version a long time before that).  I am 15 and doing one of my GCSE
(UK exams for 14 - 16 year olds) Music compositions, which has to be mostly
finished in about two weeks

Hi Micheal,
If I were you, I would stick with Logic. I've known Cakewalk 8, heard nice
things about Cakewalk 9. But I wouldn't change to Cakewalk, if I were you.
I think that, if you mastered Cakewalk in a short time, you should be able
to master Logic in a short time too.
Logic isn't that much different. It only has things organized a bit
different.

It would be interesting if anyone would like to share their opinion on
whether I should stick with Logic Audio or go back to Cakewalk.  I have been
in touch with Et Cetera (the UK Cakewalk distributor), and they have told me
I could send Logic Audio to them and they would give me Cakewalk Pro Audio 9
for \ufffd79, as if I was upgrading from Cakewalk Professional 8.  The problem is
, if I take that I'll be losing out on \ufffd129 - and I'll need to buy a
seperate notation program (probably Cakewalk Overture 2).

First of all, I don't think that you would need an extra notation
application, if you bought the Pro version of Cakewalk. The Pro version has
a notational part.
Logic's notational part is much more elegant than the one in Cakewalk. In
the long run it's it's money's worth.
I wouldn't do that trade if I were you, cause it would only cost you more.
Bad deal.

<<
I'd be interested to know what other people think of this - should I stick
with Logic Audio (and probably struggle), or go back to Cakewalk?  I asked a
friend who's into computers (but not really music software), and he said
that the best programs are complicated to use at first.
>>

Since the last version, version 4, of Logic, things are much better
organized.
If you have problems, I would say ask away. As Sascha asked, I would also
like to ask: what are the things you find difficult in Logic? Since I know
Cakewalk too, you could ask me the things you want to do and I could point
you in the right direction.
Sascha is even a teacher, and so am I kind of, so it can't be that difficult
to help you out with that exam, can it?
Believe me, you'll be very happy that you stuck with Logic in two weeks.
Good luck and just ask,
Yoonchi.
