Eric Cardenas Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Anyone know what the little floating window below/left of the ESM is? It looks to have arpeggiator controls. Just wondering if LP9 introduced Ableton Live-type midi effects... (screenshot from gallery under 'Writing in LP9': http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/logicpro/) It's "just" a floating environment window with Cable Switchers.

ChicoSatis Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I am rather amazed that some folks are continually bashing GAP and even the new L9 amps - I make my sole living in LA playing guitar and I have been getting some killer guitar sounds from L8/GAP, and I'm sure I will have the same experience with the new L9 amps & effects. I simply use the same techniques I've found effective in my hardware amp modelers: Pre & post EQ (compression as needed) & some tasty Logic effects at the end. And I'm talking about anything from pristine cleans to raging high-gain solo tones and anything in between. I currently own almost every modeler known to man , including the amazing Axe-FX Ultra from Fractal Audio. I am very demanding of all my guitar sounds, so I don't say this lightly - Is it possible that some of the amp critics just haven't learned how to program this combination well enough yet? I agree Radley. I find that with a little care and proper settings you can get GREAT tones from GAP as well as other gtr sims. It took me a while until I finally got it but once you do it's amazing the product these things can yield. I also find layer gtrs helps to add to the "realism". To my ears it adds a bit more weight to the sound. Also running the guitar through a tap saturation plug in helps to "thicken" up the sound a bit as well. (At least to my ears. ) Can't wait to get my hands on the new gear. Sounds great in the demos. HAve a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerouac Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I've been quite happy with the Amp Sim in Logic, but I still prefer using Native Instrument's Guitar Rig 3 most of the time. I like the bass sim in Logic way better though. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm become obsessed with bass tones recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn L. Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 It's not really an attraction for me, since I bought a BOSS GT-10 a few months ago. It has the best overdrive sims I've heard so far. It's fairly easy for these things to do clean, Fender Tweed/Twin sounds, but a good distortion that can verge into feedback is cool, and, according to my experience, more difficult to reproduce. I also have two decent tube amps and mics..... So, the whole guitar rig thing isn't turning my crank. Methinks that the audio editing additions, as well as stability, will be the selling points for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Brown Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thanks apple, due to your total arrogance and shite ass customer support, i just upgraded my old Windows XP machine, and made it into a really neat studio machine running sonar. My imac is now for sale, as i have been sick to death of logic 8 being an asshole, with far too many problems, now i cannot upgrade because im quite poor and cannot afford a new "intel" mac.

dkgross Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Eric/Lagerfeldt...During the install...does it OVERWRITE all your saved ChannelStrips, KeyCommands, etc (or anything else in your USER folder???) Custom Icons???or..does it recognize you have a folder structure of customs stuff and just add to it?? Everything is still intact. Even Logic 8 SWEEET....did you jump up to 10.5.7??

andrew upstairs Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Got it at the Pasadena (CA) Apple Store today. Called before I went, of course. I had purchased the Logic Studio 8 upgrade for Express twelve days ago, and they gave me an exchange. No restocking fee, no nothing. They were very nice about it.

YUGA Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I want to know one more thing.Is the FX tails problem fixed? This bug really annoys me. I have to play empty part for some seconds every time I bounce the mix. I really hope it's fixed. Could anyone who already has L9 answer this question please? Is this "audio/effects stuck in cache" problem fixed? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiralsurfer Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 About to go and buy an upgrade version now, from what I have read this is going to make the way I work much faster and easier, so I'm pretty excited about this! I agree with the earlier posts from Radley and ChicoSatis regarding Logic's amp sims, the presets may not always be much chop but with a bit of tweaking and combining with other Logic effects you can pull some really great sounds, save them as custom presets and away you go. Layer guitar tracks and you can achieve some very good results. I've dabbled with other plug ins like Guitar Rig, Amplitube and Revalver (the best of the three imo) and while they are all useful I usually end up using a custom preset created in Logic. As I create mainly guitar based music I personally am looking forward to the improved Guitar Amp and new Pedalboard feature, and the editing features are going to speed up my workflow a lot. I remember working with an old Tascam four track ten years ago to record my ideas as I simply couldn't afford the hardware and software required to record anything better back then. I used to have to lay down very rough ideas on the four track and then take it to the rest of the band and go through the sometimes painful process of translating the ideas with the other band members. Now it is ridiculously easy to put complete song ideas down and get them sounding pretty damn good in a tenth of the time, so paying $300 Australian for this upgrade to me is a bargain. It's only $6 a week if you average it out over a year, which is nothing really for the time it's going to save me in that year of writing and recording music. I bought the full version of Logic Studio 8 and I still think it was worth every penny for the massive amount of sounds and additional content, despite some of the glitches. I guess you can't please everyone, but for me Logic 8 and now this new version is pretty exciting. Off to the Apple Store I go..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Stone Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Anyone know what the little floating window below/left of the ESM is? It looks to have arpeggiator controls. Just wondering if LP9 introduced Ableton Live-type midi effects... (screenshot from gallery under 'Writing in LP9': http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/logicpro/) Its an environment program in a frameless floating window. It does a pretty good job, but its no replacement for a modern arpeggiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Lagerfeldt Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 BTW: Have you been to Sweden or are you coming? I got an email with an invitation to a special event hosted by you and others. Yeah, Apple asked me to do the Mastering Audio seminars, and they put my name on the brochures, in Studio Magazine etc. They just forgot to ask me first... My wife is set to give birth (our 2nd child) right about that time, so I had to cancel unfortunately. Since I'm an ADP now I'll probably being doing similar events in the future though.

Meezy Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I was doing my sums to figure out if I could afford the upgrade and worked out that I couldn't. That was until I reached for my Logic 8 box so as to will it to transmorph into Studio 9 and behind it was a full coin jar that I had forgotten about! I wonder if the Apple Store will take A$299.00 in 10 and 20 cent pieces? I wonder if postage for $299 worth of coins to the Apple store will be more then $299? On a side note, what did stuff taste like before chickens were invented? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
