There's just so much little shit like this, I just can't stand it anymore. Or the fact that fine adjusting automation horizontally is a matter of holding down a button, but to do it vertically, the answer is just "zoom in more." oh, whoops, doing that made me accidentally select the track, which armed it, which made the virtual instrument hiccup, which made the project crash. and there's no way to turn that off (I called Apple support to ask.) Or the fact that it presumes I want to play midi through any selected track, and automatically record-arms the selected track. And then when I looked it up I saw some shit about "logic's playhead isn't supposed to snap to the grid, use the marquee tool, bla bla bla." Well fuck you, logic! what the fuck is a "marquee tool" anywayĪnother example: I click on a drum sequencer clip to edit it and logic selects the channel for me, highlighting the entire row of clips and making me lose the spot I was already on. and I couldn't get it to stop doing it no matter the settings. but nope, it just decided to be difficult and start sticking the playhead +4 beats ahead of where I wanted it, whenever I tried to click. yes, I googled all the different settings and stuff to try to get it to stop. "Oh, it doesn't work like that, you gotta do it THIS way." For example the playhead not locking to the grid properly, spontaneously, halfway through a project. There's just all this presumptuous shit baked in that makes for a prescriptive user experience. My gripe with logic is that it makes me want to throw my computer through the window. I'm working out a template in Reaper and so far so good. The most my modular will come into things will be using it as a source of sounds and loops to sample. So mostly midi stuff, because I find it easier to make commercial-sounding stuff that way, and of course the recall. With my modular stuff that's how I use DAWs, but I'm making some rap beats to sell. Only using as a glorified tape recorder at this point. I even don't remember this function but after every record I needed to go in audio clip and turn this off.Īll audio record/mixing? Or heavy on the midi side?īy the way, it’s conversation like this that remind me why I moved away from DAW (a long time before the whole DAWless jammin bullshit). It's auto-quantization of recorded audio.
#REAPER LOGIC PRO PLUGINS HOW TO#
It was not the same in Ableton and totally harder in Logic.ģ) Reaper doesn't have Ableton shitty option that I didn't know how to turn off. You don't need to spend a lot of time to understand how to record several stereo/mono/multi-channel tracks.

Reaper is the simplest thing to record something. Ableton truly wins in this but maybe I'm familiar with this product. All audio edits, faders, scissors editing are pain here.
#REAPER LOGIC PRO PLUGINS PLUS#
For logic price it's easier to buy Reaper plus some plugins and virtual instruments on a sale.Ģ) Reaper UX is not so suitable for touchpad (of course on Macbooks, because all touchpads on win based laptops were awkward).

Switching recording tracks and how to monitor them was a nightmare for me so I abandoned it. In comparison, Logic UI is more friendly but some things like naming virtual drummers I don't find suitable for the product for adults. I have 0 crashes with Reaper in one month. I don't know it looks like midi editing in Ableton but it's not. For example, midi notes editing is a nightmare for eyes. In some cases, I like this modesty, in some - I don't. I moved from Ableton to Reaper but tried Logic too.ġ) Reaper looks like a product from early 00x in its UI/UX.
