Logic: Cubase like drum programming

[hogan666]

Just switched to mac a few weeks ago, which makes me smile the whole time.

Of course I gave Logic a try but it is so completely strange to me using Cubase for years. The thing that makes my head aching is programming drums.
In Cubase with its drummap feature things are so easy, but Logics Hyperedit doesn't suit me. Is there an easy we, to act like in cubase?

Cheers, Markus.

What don't you like about it? Takes some getting used to but both have their strengths.

I'm sure you could make something in the environment - if you dare!

Maybe I'm just a bit too lazy to change the way I'm used to programm drums.

Thought there's an easy way to use it like cubase. I also like it to load drummaps and have everything where it has to be ;-)

Cheers, Markus.

you can do that with the hyper editor though?

i actually prefer being able to load maps straight from the project file rather than having 88345684865 files with different extensions.

hyper editor is really cool for drums, i love being able to do hits and velocity with one click.

Ditto Ed, Logic has been awesome for me as far as programming drums and such. Just open up piano roll and well roll with it.

I usually edit in the piano roll as well.

but for programming, I prefer to slow down the tempo, and use a midi keyboard, taking multiple passes. first the hi hat, then the bass drum, then the snare, sometimes i do snr and bd together, then toms fills and stuff. its way easier for me.

Just snag LE 4 for nothing (free) and program drums in that then export the midi into Logic.


That's what I do between pro tools, except I have studio 5.

Kyle - haven't you tried the hyper editor in logic? It absolutely slays the piano roll view

+1,000,000 dude. I couldn't believe how easy it was once I had it up and running. The piano roll made me pull my hair out.

Guys, check out this excellent tutorial by Waterboy for exactly this:

Damn it was removed. I should use it more often tho. I too have been hard headed and just used the traditional piano roll.

I have trouble with the hyper editor. its hard for me to program beats, because I have to fuck around with the velocities too much, like clicking the top of the box, making sure you click the very top, or the very middle, whatever. its just hard to stay consistent enough to sound good. I guess I should practice more, but using a midi keyboard to perform the beats, then editing using piano roll works

do u use quantize to snap the data into the grid?

Once again - piano editor for programming drums is like fucking a girl with a thanksgiving turkey. It doesn't make any sense and just doesn't work very well.

I'm a Logic user too, and that's exactly what i do. Logic it's great, but the drummap editor in cubase rules!
