Logic 8 Audio Contents Options

[emanuele82]

Hi,before asking you somethin i wish to introduce myself on this nice forum
My name is Emanuele,25 Italy,marine engineer....and now the question for you
I am new on mac (i bought my first one two days ago),on my pc i was usually working with Cubase.
During installation process of logic pro 8 i chose to not install Logic audio contents because i suppose it's only a folder containing jampacks (i dont like to use loop samples).
Can you confirm that i was thinking smooth or in the Logic audio content package,some useful utility is included?
Thank you in advance.
Emanuele

First of all i wish to thank you very much.
Mine it s not an aversion...only i have the sensation (using loops)i m not producing somethin original...i'd like to create loops using my samples and instruments for the specific purpose of my ideas ..maybe i am going wrong becaus in this way i give up a powerful tool for my productions!!
Thank you again.

Bye

Hi Emanuele,

I think that what deaconblue was saying is that there may be presets for the Logic instruments there too, such as the sampler (instrument sounds as opposed to loops) for example. I may be wrong but I think that this is the case.
I think you can later choose to install part of the content - e.g., perhaps the sampler presets but there may be an implication on Logic's ability to 'find' them - I think I read a thread about this previously.

I understand what you're saying about loops etc but as a tutor, I find that my students often benefit from perhaps starting with loops to get a feel, like 'scaffolding' which they can later replace with their own parts. However, you say you've been using Cubase so I guess you have got your own ways of working which is great.

Good luck and enjoy.
