Im used to using Cakewalk Sonar 2 so Im new to Logic. I can't figure out how to set-up my synth so that it sends and receives messages from Logic. Plus, does anybody know where I can find some good tutorials for basic stuff like this?

There are no stupid questions as fas as I'm concerned. But you should probably tell everyone what your hardware setup is, so someone with a similar kit can get you going. Windows, I'm assuming (cakewalk) What kind of Midi interface?? One of the many Windows persons will gladly help you.

The key chapter in your on-line documentation is Menu > Help > Logic Help > The Environment (or see the equivalent in your Owner's Manual). Hendrik Jan Veenstra provides a MIDI datastream tutorial for Logic users on his website http://www.omega-art.com. See also, Len Sasso's www.swiftkick.com. Regards, Bob Penick

Sorry but that kind of basic stuff is covered in the first few chapters of the manual which came with your logic. Maybe you should read this first ;) Muhammed

Well, I'm a little embarrased to say that Logic is > the most confusing program I've encountered. I also started using logic after 15 years of KCS, Cubase, etc. I'm comfortable with it now, and I like it, but I agree that its very confusing to get started. It doesn't help that the examples, tutorials, etc referenced in the manual are not actually on the disks (at least they weren't in the big box version). It's also quite unsatisfactory to find that the manual in the big box is version 4.0 and the disk is ver 5.3. If you download 5.5 for OSX, the difference between app and doc is even more confusing. It might be easy for you logic vets to see the link between the two, but for a new user its a complete fog. In fact, if I was a long term experienced user, I'd be a bit pissed at Emagic because they have left it to you to make up for their poor documentation for new users. Another reason to be pissed at Emagic: One of the best reasons to buy the app instead of getting the "approval" version, is to get printed manuals. There's no real advantage in this case. To get over the hump, you will have to go out and buy another book written for ver 5, or download all the tutorials you can find on the web. I got "User's Guide to Logic Audio 5" by Stephen Bennett. I think there is a Logic book in the "Power!" series as well. Between that and the V5 introduction manual, I figured it out. Just keep reading the books, tutorials and docs over and over again, and try things out as you go. Be prepared to start over several times. Eventually you will "get it". Once you do, I think you'll like it.
