Hey, I'm using Logic Pro here. I started off using Fruity Loops 20 years ago, it was a good DAW to start learning how to make music and to have fun with. After a while, I just felt I needed something a bit more versatile - I find if you want to make electronic music FL is good, but I also wanted to do film composition and so I then moved over to Logic. I still find Logic the most versatile DAW that I've used - good for producing, composing, mixing and mastering. Ultimately, the best DAW for you is the one you feel comfortable in and are able to finish music with. If you aren't getting along with FL, you can certainly try Logic (you'll need a mac) or if you are on a PC and interested in EDM you could also check out Ableton.
Thank you for feedback, I think I have to stick with FL as I'm using Pc😊 It was nice to watch this video how you create your music and I can copy and learn from you.
The DAWs “playback” sounds different if you play the audio in them separately. The way you’re testing it is by placing them both in Logic. If you take a vocal for example and place it separately in logic and Ableton, playing them back in each of the daws will sound different. I’ve tested this with a few DAWs and they all imparted a slightly different sound on the audio (it was a bit tedious having to constantly switch between DAW windows lol).
Thanks for sharing your experience! It was a few years ago when I tested it but I did null test across multiple DAWs and found the audio phase cancelled in the major ones, the main difference I found was with FL, because I believe at the time they had a limiter built into the output...I think maybe it's time I tried it again!!
@@adammillsmusic Absolutely. I did this test after I seen a RU-vidr named Wavy Wayne do this. He was right about Luna sounding the best. But not super drastic differences. Just enough to make me prefer the sound of Luna and Logic though.
Thank you.Really enjoying Logic 11. I'd love Apple to give us a new 'power' synth now.Refresh some Instruments. Along with the next evolution of Ultrabeat.I have a soft spot for Ultrabeat and can imagine a souped up version with a more welcoming skin too.
Logic 11 is great eh! Do you use Alchemy? It's pretty powerful once you go into the advanced section...but I agree, a new synth would be cool. Yes! Ultrabeat is still a great plugin - it's just got an awful graphical interface haha
This doesnt work because the sound engine has a sound, but it doesnt add artifacts or any type of frequencies its just like soundcards and converters sound different. They make your choices while mixing different because the sound it puts out is slightly different. Im old school and back in the day this same debate went on about sample rates for decades. Everyone always said there was no difference in sound between 44k and 196k. But now all of a sudden there is….. put the same song in logic and the same song in abelton and switch between the daws and you will hear a slight difference.
Thanks for sharing! That is interesting, I use to think the same thing too - but I tested it a couple of years back and changed my mind. I only tested Ableton and Logic so I can't speak for all DAWs. However, I ran a track through both DAWs clean, no processing, only bouncing/exporting them, and dithering etc. turned off. Then I inverted the polarity of one of the tracks, and the 2 completely phase cancelled/ nulled. If their sound engines were imparting a sound they shouldn't have completely nulled from what I understand. I could be wrong, but my thought is that the 'sound of the DAW' comes from the stock plugins and virtual instruments rather than the sound engines themselves.
You don't know how to handle it at all. What you've put together sounds awful! Practice with it for a while before you publish a tutorial like that. Just awful!!!
yeah that's a good point, I guess it may filter out some of the not so good players...and obviously it's very early in the process, but in 10 years time it may be very different...
Great video if they would have added an AI guitar player with this also oh my God, it would've been incredible out of this world times two. Rhythm or lead, palm muting, hammer ons, you know different things guitar players can do, it would be amazing.
That would be really cool! Maybe that will be Logic 12...I did actually make a sample pack of this kind of thing - there are some free samples here: www.ammusic.co.uk/totaltelecaster - but it would be so cool if it was AI!
No quite true. For example if I play the chords Dm, C and F there's only white keys in that sequence but the key is F. I just don't use the Bb note from the F major scale it's all white notes.
The whole idea of having to level up is just ridiculous, it’s the whole problem with the “music business”. Most if not all music today is just rubbish because “you have to be the next best thing”. Biggest load of crap ever there is no such thing. Music is just music and that is it.
Cheers for the input - I think most people want to improve their craft, whether it's playing an instrument or production though? Maybe the term levelling up is a little cheesy, but I'm just trying to share tips on approaches to making improvements.
sorry, I missed this comment, but here's a good article about it if you want to learn more: www.attackmagazine.com/features/long-read/do-daws-really-have-their-own-sound/
I agree that new producers should learn the basics and the stock stuff before downloading a billion plugins, but i don't think it should be discouraged to eventually just go wild with plugins to find stuff you like. It's more a matter of knowing what you want and need. Random pirated plugins were a huge driver of creativity for me personally, and when i found one i love and use everyday, i buy it for keeps. Then having a huge huge library of plugins you can access along with a small personal one for your daily drivers is ideal to me.
Yeah that's a very good point, having a lot of different tools can help with creativity. I guess I just don't want newer producers to feel like they have to have xyz plugin in order to make good music :)
@@adammillsmusic yeah especially with things like synths and pianos. Like you can learn and should learn how to make your own sounds and know how to make a stock piano sound unique, but sometimes it's not good for creativity to have to do a bunch of sound design when you have a creative spark for a song. Love going through presets and tweaking them too. Going through presets is how I learned a lot of stuff and how it works. There's only so much time you can spend on stuff before you lose the plot at least in my experienc.
