Hi Frank, Welcome to the forums. Logic is a great music production application and has numerous features which keeps it interesting when learning the application as you always find out something new. I actually learnt everything about Logic through the MacProVideo tutorials. So this website is definitely a great resource. I would recommend starting with the Logic 101 tutorial: [url]http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/logic9101[/url] And then move through the other Logic tutorials. You will be amazed at how fast you will pick up the application after working through these tutorials.

Thanks Gary, I was somewhat proficient with it before, but it's been a few years, so I thought I'd start again and be disciplined about it. I think that training is one of the best applications of video there is. I also have Reaktor 5, and thought I'd check out what you have and is otherwise available about that. I'll see if I can get past just finding and tweaking ensembles this time. I remember it being an amazing program, but it always struck me (and many other people) as having been written by engineers without enough emphasis on UI and programmability, making it opaque, and in disparate need of training videos, books, etc.. So, I'll see what's there. I went to the Berklee site (since I'm an alumni - 1982) to see what they might have online. It was down today since there's a power outage in the Back Bay area of Boston due to a transformer fire. Thanks again. Best Regards, -Frank

Thanks Frank, Enjoy the tutorials. I haven't used much of Reaktor myself due to the same reasons. But I think the interface has been improved and is a bit more user friendly. I am working through the tutorial myself and hope to soon be creating my own ensembles.

Here's a fun way to navigate the plethora of articles, which includes 3 tabs: Most recent, Featured and Random (Shuffle): [url]http://www.macprovideo.com/hub/land/logic-pro mainstage[/url] Enjoy!

Hey, my artist name is Ha-Style. I am currently using Logic Express 9 and wanted to know how can I dump my own sounds into Ultra Beat. Thanks [url]http://www.twitter.com/HaStyleMusic[/url]

Hi Ha-Style Music First from the Presets menu choose [b]Drag & Drop Samples[/b] Then click on [b]No Sample Loaded[/b]. And choose [b]Load Sample[/b]. You will then be able to navigate and load up a sample.

Here's a step-by-step approach to loading your own samples into Ultrabeat: [url]http://www.macprovideo.com/hub/logic-pro/loading-samples-logics-ultrabeat[/url]

THANKS A LOT MAN!! Helped me a ton. Do you have a twitter? The reason I ask is that I check that more than the forum lately.

Yes we do. Here is the link: [url]http://www.twitter.com/macprovideo[/url]
