I use both, I love both.
Logic beats Live hands down for all things MIDI.

I just bought into logic for the first time and it seems very cool. The pitch correction will be a great time saver for me with some of the vocalists I work with. It does seem a bit cluttered though. Live is beautifully simple.
do you think a vintage laptop would sound better?

I'm selling my live now to get a mac and a copy of logic!!!!!!!!


arh, pretty happy with live for arranging actually. There is a few things, but maybe if i learned a bit of the keyboard shortcuts it would be easier eh

Not really, most big name DJs have other people acting as producers; Sasha, Timo Maas, Fat Boy Slim, etc.

I think it's lame yes, but it's very common.

The term producer has changed meaning over time as well. Who knows if he means mixing or song arranging by saying that?

the tarnce god also confesses:
It’s a far cry from the days of vinyl. “I’m so busy when I play now,” says van Dyk. “The other day I was wondering, what did I actually do once the record was playing? Wait for eight minutes to mix in the next one? How boring.”
wow he let the records play for a whole 8 minutes waiting to mix the next one? :lol:
and they probably payed him 20 and 30 thousands and maybe more for that?

AND he didn't make his own songs?

:roll:

:evil: fkin tarnce

"i can't mix, and i started creating music on my third album"

Damn, thats like admitting you are nothing but a poser

Well c'mon now...DJing is really a completely different monster than a live P.A. Of course Trance is not turntablism...it's about playing to the crowd. If the crowd is really really diggin on a tune, you let them have it for a bit. And I'm sure he was exaggerating about 8 minutes.

I don't know about you, but I was a DJ long before I started producing. Of course I had a good sense of what I wanted to create and how to compose, but getting from musically inclined to technically capable is a bit of a leap. I also learned a lot from my co-producers and I didn't know how to synthesize sound right off the decks. He did "Produce" the previous albums...but that's like saying because the Director didn't run the camera himself that it's not his film.

What a bunch of cynics. ~_^

I use both together on some projects because I think Live is better for drawing pitch changes graphically for audio clips/regions and Logic generally sounds better and has better software instruments (I make great use or the global micro tuning option of Logiic's - ie you set a preferred micro tonal scale and key and then this setting is applied to whatever software instruments you open up to use in the session).

Sometimes I play the EWI live and in the studio and I have not found any software instruments that answers so well to this instrument's MIDI Controller data than Logic. And I have put a lot of time into tweaking Live and its instruments into a viable EWI live rig but never managed to come near the expression I get when playing Logic's synths with the EWI.
