Yeah, I'm running PT now without flo tools, just to get a feel for it. My feeling right now is not great tbh. I find it very confusing, and using the built in shortcuts feels like a nightmare at this point. But I did that because I didn't seem to get flo tools working right so I thought I'd let that be for now. I have some odd problems whether I use flo or not, like I can't seem to make PT play an audio track that I recorded. The file is created, I checked. I can monitor and get level and peak values, but it won't play. But then, I import a file on a new track and it plays fine. so I made a track preset and use that on the first silent track, and Voila, now I can hear it. But I can't see any difference in the output. Btw, I find the I'O settings to be something of a clusterf. Everything I open or create tells me that some bus or other can't be mapped to something or other. PT might not like my interface, but I can't imagine that is the issue. Sigh.
Actually, I find tracking audio in Logic to be the easiest part. I've been tracking and mixed vocals and guitar for the last five years, pretty much full thime. so, perhaps it's just that I've done it so much, I dunno. What bugs me is the lack of information and the difficulties doing automation and detailed midi editing etc. I find myself going through track after track to find something that is soloed, because of course the focus issue in logic makes me type random letters more often than not, making logic go stupid for all the sudden hotkeys. That is the reason I'm looking at PT. I like working with regions in logic, as I know where everything is, and I can get to them instantly. As I understand it, PT is supposedly easy to do that stuff with. But at the moment I can't see it. Okay, so one day in, I have much to look into. :D > On May 25, 2020, at 5:23 PM, Steve Sparrow <[email protected]> wrote: > > I’d have to agree with these points about logic.
