Now I can produce all of the 80s hair metal and 90s R&B. One dollar? Eight instruments for $76? I worried that I was being taken by an Estonian hacker who would soon identity thieve all of my info and take out three mortgages, but the important thing is I got my preferred piano back, as well as the orchestra hits. Xpand!2 has so many orchestra hits they have their own category! Mini Grand has such a rich and full sound I used it exclusively for piano (my song Flashback Wife on my latest album A/B is just the Mini Grand accompanying the vocal and it works beautifully). There are a couple of grand piano presets in the ES24 sample player that comes with Logic but the sound just doesn’t compare. The first thing I missed was the Mini Grand virtual piano instrument from AIR Music Technology. I was even able to route the extra sends from BFD2 into a bus in my Logic mix, very helpful when using the kick drum to activate a side chain compressor for the bass.īundled with Logic is an impressive group of instruments and samples, but I did find myself missing a couple of things that came bundled with Pro Tools. You’ll be able to bring along any 3rd party instruments and plug-ins that use Audio Units, as I was able to use the BFD2 drum sample player and library from FXPansion, my Session Horns and Session Strings libraries for the Kontakt 5 player from Native Instruments, and 3 virtual instruments from AIR Music Technology. You’ll be able to record, pan, automate, send to busses, edit, quantize, and generally futz with your signals to your heart’s content. To the question “will my stuff sound the same” the answer is “yes.” You’ll still get to your musical destination, it’ll just be in a car with the steering wheel on the opposite side and when you reach to turn on the radio you hit the AC. But read on and fear not! Learn from my struggles! Laugh at my pain! And hopefully I can help you decide whether or not you should make the leap yourself. It’s been about 6 months since I switched from Pro Tools (10) to Logic Pro X (10.3) and now that I’m fairly up to speed on the new platform I am so going to judge! If you’re thinking of switching and you assume the transition will be smooth, it won’t be (like that time I assumed I could get by in Portuguese by speaking Spanish with a German accent).
