VERY seriously considering switching to Logic in the next week, just wanted to start a thread to ask some questions I have...
First question, is there anything generally agreed upon that current users of Logic 9 hate/are pissed off about/want to switch to another DAW because of? Or is it handling everything as well as I've read?
Second question, drum quantizing. With the slice mode and Flex tool, I am very nervous about the lack of customization available in how it behaves. I understand you can manually add/remove detected transients which is crucial, but on top of that, how exactly does it slice and comp the files? Like, I am skeptical of the fact that I don't set any trailing pad, any fade lengths, etc. nor do I get to see any of the crossfades being created or have the option to move them around if for some reason it causes my ride to flam when I move the snare for example... Am I right in being nervous or is it totally easy to cut the file anywhere I hear an anomaly and manually trim and crossfade where I need to to fix it? I feel like it is quantizing and then rendering the quantized audio since it isn't leaving me with all the slices and fades individually. Can you still access the original unquantized tracks to fix crossfades and stuff easily? Like, in ProTools if I encounter that ride flam situation, I can still move the crossfade to the left a bit to fix it. If I can't see any crossfades or separate regions, how can I perform these edits?
Those are my main ones right now, I will guaranteed think of more, but any Logic users who want to chime in with why they like Logic vs whatever other DAW and what they don't like about Logic would be uber appreciated.
