I love how those instruments evoke a different, more mythical mindscape. Note: if you highlight a track in LogicPro then click the "Plus" button at the left of the "Hide" button in the track header, it will create a new track with duplicate settings (i.e. same instrument, same plugins, etc.) It saves a few steps.

I know I've started my day right when I hear the words "hello everybody" :) Thank you Guy, you are a credit to the music world. Regarding 'ethnic' v 'non-western' I think too much weight is being given to many words these days especially when it disregards intention. I personally try not to tip toe anymore, because who can keep up with the pace of vocab evolution, and moreover, taking offence is not a death sentence, it's a fact of life. We all know we are part of a global human family, and a big welcoming smile and warm hand shake speak volumes in any encounter. The neo woke left have sadly become as loony as the right, but regardless of the word police, your universal positive regard for all cultures is assumed and evident. Great respect and gratitude to you sir, and greetings from Brisbane Australia. Jared

It is reassuring to know a seasoned DAW user can still be flexible enough to switch DAWs sometimes and it is further reassuring to see that someone seasoned can falter just like a noob (such as myself) . I feel less stupid when I see that the task of switching to or adapting to a different environment naturally comes with a bunch of halts a trips. Thanks as always for the inspiring chunks of composition.

I have quite a few projects that are comprised of nothing more than mucking about, as you call it. ideas, musical seeds that didn't become completed songs, and others just exercises in editing and composing that might lead to new music seeds which may fully flourish. Sometimes you throw stuff at a wall and see what sticks for the sake of finding a new project to complete, other times you throw stuff at the wall for the fun of it. Either way, keeps a musical brain sharp

Have you ever worked in a DAW called Mixcraft? I have come to enjoy a VST which is included with Mixcraft 9 Pro Studio called Glass Viper. Its a synth that lets you manipulate the wave form directly and layer up to 4 customized sound forms. It enables very otherworldly and unique sounds and is fun to mess around with to create new custom presets.

Logic is bullet proof once you get it down. Oversampling on EQs is totally underrated and I think the 64 bit summing math sounds better than what’s used in other DAWs.

Piece of poop for bug fixing but it's been 20+ years now and I still miss E-magic 4.7 ironically! ;( p.s. great to see you in logic world (even tho I'm frozen on 10.4.7 for now, hence the irony). I am trying to use Reaper to mix but I can use Logic in my sleep with my toes so it's a tricky trade off still. p.p.s. Haven't used cubase since my 333mhz pc with a 4gig internal hd.
