It sure is!
Happy New Year David!
Thanks for your service. I must have overlooked your site for a year or so… I wonder how? I’m a member of LUG, and Yahoo Logic and registered with Emagic/Logic since 1996. How did I miss this part from you?
Well thanks again for your service.. I’m sure I’ll be returning.. Logic is deep!
Much success to you.
Don
do you need to have external MIDI devices to record with Logic Studio?
No. For MIDI, you can use the Caps Lock keyboard to input or just input directly with the mouse. But it’s much easier with a keyboard and there are plenty of inexpensive options out there. For audio, you can use the built-in input but I wouldn’t recommend it for any professional applications.
thanks…this is a really useful website, congratulations! with your comment about audio…you said that you don’t recommend the built-in input, but what if it is just for home demos?
Thanks, Molly! You’ll still need some sort of preamp to get the volume of mic hot enough to record. If it’s just vocals you need to record, try a USB mic like something by Blue. Check Craig’s List and you’ll probably find something inexpensive. If you need to record other audio, like electric guitars or keyboards, you’ll probably want to find an interface that has a built-in preamp for mics and a stereo input for keys or guitar. There’s lots of cheap stuff out there that’ll do the job. Try M-Audio.
Also, are there are any brands you would suggest for keyboards.
thanks
I’m an M-Audio fan for their cost/value. I found a Keystation Pro 88 on Craig’s List for $150. But I use a Novation SL Mk II as my main sequencer input and love it.
