FW: [LUG] logic as a remixing tool... argh

2004-03-20 by Paul Stephenson

Emagic,

Please read the letter below.  It pretty much describes how we all feel
about Logic's Audio Capabilities for working seamlessly.  Please believe
me when I say that more than a few hundred people that need what this
message describes.

I still love logic, but I moved from PC to Mac, and I really loved Sound
Forge for audio editing.  After moving to the Mac I haven't found a
program that allows me to work as fast as I could on PC, but the idea of
having sample accurate cutting of audio in the arrange window and
allowing us to move audio to any location we want, i.e. not limited to
tick mark resolution, is awesome!

Thanks for tools,

Paul Stephenson

For me the partykiller is the lack of sample-accuracy in the
arrange window.  I want to zoom all the way in, make my cut
precisely where the zero-cross is, grab the edge and drag the
soundbite to some easily discernable predefined beat on the
time ruler, flash to the other edge, cut it at the zero cross
closest to the same time division, zoom out.

In PT, or Cubase, or DP, I can do the above in about 5
seconds in the same window, and have a seamless, popless
loop placed exactly where I need it.  In Logic, it takes 5x longer
and I have to keep switching out to the sample editor, and I'm
never 100% confident I'm actually at the right beat division
until I press play and hear it.

So yes, I can do it in Logic, I can't argue that it's 'fine'.  It's
just that I cut my teeth on editors that are 'exemplary', and 
I miss them at times.

Respectfully,

u b i k
