Easier To Learn Log 6 Then To Learn 5 And Upgrade? Options

[Drainland]

Hi everyone,

I've decided I want to purchase Logic Plat 6 (I don't have any software at the moment) but I've noticed that you can buy the EMI 6/2 production kit with Logic gold 5 in it.

Although this is tempting to do, as you get the other software in the box and you can still upgrade to 6 - I'm wondering as I'm starting from scratch would life just be easier for me to just learn using Logic 6 from the start? It seems that even if I got the upgrade package for 5 to 6 straight away, I might have to learn on 5 (cos the manual would be for 5), then switch to 6, maybe have to relearn some things, and also only have an addendum manual with 6 to go at. Which seems like hassle and a lot less straight forward.

I guess the other things in the box are not essential to me, as I have various hardware and intend to get a motu 828 and an MT4 anyway.

I just wondered what you guys thought.

Many thanks.

Sorry for my delayed reply - I only just found these posts - my email notification isn't working for some reason!

Anyhow thanks for these guys. If TDM is referring to the manufacturer then I don't need this support no - however I do like the look of some of the new features in logic 6 such as freeze. I was just reading a review of Log 6 in Future Music and drooling.

The freebie soft synths etc, are tempting - but I kinda like a hassle free life even if it is a bit more expensive. So instead of messing around upgrading etc I think I might just go for 6 when it hits the shelves. I want to use my various hardware synths/sampler anyway for producing sound.

Cheers!
