[heybulldog98]

can i download this onto a windows computer i have a toshiba laptop and i really need this how can i do that or could you let me know if there is even a way to download it onto windows and where can i find the link thanks so much i would really appreciate it

[Kaungzawko]

my connection is fail sometime.Can I download that file,Please?

[kachina123456]

please don't cut off the screen

[mrskint55]

For a demo sound it sounded horrid I am sorry but I have Logic and I have not come across 1 decent sound the sound to my ears is rather harsh imho you cannot beat a real amp

[samathanwataguan]

I make better tones from my asshole (no disrespect to you jdalrymple).

[Juliaker]

Can you also just have a part of the track being edited with the Amp Designer?

[Dreamdancer11]

Logic is absolutely amazing DAW but amp designer doesnt even come close to free amps sims out there let alone paid ones.its sounds like a cheap pedalboard and nothing more.

[miraeja]

sounds nice!

[joru100]

meh, it's a lot better than guitar amp pro that comes with logic, but this thing is still obviously far from perfect (like all software guitar amp programs) in trying to replicate an actual tube amp. i wouldn't use it if i were to make a guitar heavy song, where the guitar is playing the melody, but it is useful when using it as a guitar hook, etc in a electro/pop type of song, or more experimental indy, where guitar is minimal. it is fun though just to play with if you are not recording.

[PattyWhomperOFFICIAL]

yea, its a soft amp alright, gj

[jprincehouston]

Amp Designer sounds like a joke compared with Amplitube 3 or Waves GTR. Those Fender emulation are laughable. Amp Designer can even nail the bread and butter clean tube sounds, let alone the more complicated high gain tones.

[FloridaBiker]

Did those drums come with Logic?

[frostnet]

can you use external pedals to control the effects live??

[dripgoss]

Thanks for posting this. I just order LE9S and I'm excited to try the models.

Not to be negative, but I'm hearing very noticeable "worble" on just the guitars. Its almost like a trem effect but more like lossy bit compression (not a compressor effect). Is that just due to the video being compressed for youtube (although I don't hear it on the drums or your voice)? Or did you stretch/flex the guitar track? I'm curious what might cause that.

[StrangBeautifulMusic]

Mr. Diarymple: i am very new to logic pro, can you please help with one question that i have for you, i would greatly appreciate your help here.

1. what kind of interface i can use with logic pro 9, i have a digidesign Mbox, will the mbox work with the logic pro 9

thnk you very much....

[lopezh15]

i dont understand how you used a mixer to record ur guitar into ur mac.. did you used an interface?

sounds good though!!

[lopezh15]

ok question!!!! what kind of mixer did you used to record ur guitar because it sounds really good!! :) and did you used any interface to run your mixer? and from the mixer to the imacs input? please write me back.. thanxxx logic pro 9 rocks!!

[jian2069]

its nice to hear how the different tones can mix well or wash out the drums

[61StratLogic]

Ihate to be a hater, but anyone who thinks that they can form an opinion on any kind of audio equipment on the basis of a youtube vid is kind of dense.

[MARSHOMEWORLD]

Dense as a whale omlette I may be; but this was put ON YouTube, thus my opinion is based in this particular presentation. Nothing about it interests me enough to seek out and purchase this software, when both Amplitube and Line 6 virtual amp rigs sound much better under the same presentation constrainsts of compressed YT audio.

Given that, I'll stand by my original comment and take a pass on any expenditure of time & resourses for software I'm already less than impressed with.

[MARSHOMEWORLD]

I don't mean to be a hater, but I all those amp sims are pretty awful. Tinny, or murky...what the Hell?

Might be cool for a quick demo, but I'd never use that on a real session. There are freeware plug-ins that sound better than this.

I'm kinda suprised, being as Logic is so highly recommended,and is such a recording platform staple. But, those tones are really really cheap sounding.

Again, not trying to be a buzzkill; just stating my opinion. Mostly, I'm just kinda shocked.

[JungleNYC]

That's the quality of the video, not Logic's Amp sounds. I was in a mastering studio a few weeks ago and the head (Grammy winning) engineer was telling a story about how he got these Logic files of an album he was hired to master for a famous Alt Rock band. And he was shocked to find that they had recorded all the guitars "clean", and used Logic's amps to add all the distortion, etc. So... try it out for yourself. It's actually friggin amazing ;)

[WinterWineStudio]

@MARSHOMEWORLD I think they sound really good, just need to work with other fx to get better EQ and compression... and of course, on youtube they sound horrible...

I still prefer the Amplitube line :)

[littlemanskaterj]

@MARSHOMEWORLD i have logic and some of the amps sound terrible but after some tweaking with a specific sound goal in mind and messin with the pedal board you can really get a good sound out of it

[waynegacy666]

I have Logic 9 and at first it sounded like shit, but I discovered that it's not PRESET and READY TO GO, you have to EQ like you would do with a real amp

[EveningCommisioner]

actually u should try them they are pretty awsome. if u know how to use them u can replicate any guitar sound u want.

[tweekskratch]

I agree. I kept my Marshall head strictly for the distortion. Glad it did too!

[epsilon99]

Not trying to convince you to think otherweise, and you can be a buzzkill if you wanna ;)

But as many people allready said, there's a limit to what Youtube can master in sound. And take the consideration that this is rough tracks. There has been no EQ'ing, compresion at all (And even if they are, they surely aren't set up for him shifting around through the different amps and cabs). I belive that if you master logic, you can make this sound allmost as incredible, as a real session.

Peace out!

[xMETALLICAROCKERx]

did that drum beat come on it or did you record it? (the drums sound really good as well as the guitar)

[blacky156]

Level your voice then the music then make a video please

[ftsanini]

Do you know if you can control amp desiger with a midi controller as beringer fcb 1010?

Oh, I really like amp designer, I worked with guitar rig, ampeg stuff, and this one, if you take your time with it, is the best one in my opinon!

thanks man

[AlternateOpinion]

hey dude good stuff. I tried to post a video response to this. its totally relevant so i dont know if you need to approve it or not but please do it would make me happy

[Hugoow16]

can i put my own guitar + amp + pedal board on this program?

[JohnnieTech2]

What do you mean?? Record your own physical equipment?!?! Cause, yes you can.

[punkrocker33446]

the distortion doesnt impress me, i might go with protools with 11 rack

[AlternateOpinion]

punkrocker33446

RE: you shouldn't judge the programs capabilities by just what you see here. There are hundreds of other options including many other ways to produce distortion which im sure would knock your socks off if you get a chance to use it.

[punkrocker33446]

thats true

[atreyufan600]

@punkrocker33446 Hey man, I work with both pro tools 8 and logic 9 almost everyday, and in my humble opinion, logic blows eleven out of the water! It just takes a lot of fine tweaking and you can find what you're looking for. If all else fails, grab a shure 57 and mic up your amp yourself! - Drew

[punkrocker33446]

nice thats good to know but i have protools 8 right now. I can alway hook up an sm57 like you said. but the tone im getting with protools is really good

[waynegacy666]

I'm having real problems with PT8 and Snow Leopard, and when I say real problems I say: Freezing, plugin errors, crashes. I really love PT8, its audio editing features and the new MIDI capabilities, but I hope they fix those bugs soon because nowadays I can't work with it.

:(

[JohnnieTech2]

The live distortion is much more impressive. You gotta play with the pedals and settings. Nothing you wouldn't do with a normal amp.

[enrydj83]

How was the original track? It was a straight guitar input in the mixer or it was already with distortion?

[jdalrymple]

The guitar was totally clean.

[drawnacrol]

wow so its like pod farm the way you can edit a recorded track,that is so awesome,i have to get this

[kokeklasick]

Sounds Paper thin sorry

[WinterWineStudio]

for RECORDING, sometimes that good... a guitar sound that is too "FAT" can get al "mushy" in a mix

I prefer to record a Thin guitar and beef it up in the mix if needed, than record a fat guitar then try to thin it out :)

BTW Ik Multimedia's Fender and Amplitube 2 are Way better!

[RNRDOLL]

@WinterWineStudio I actually do the same thing to an extent. Not too thin but thin enough because I'd rather the bass and drums cover all the lower frequencies and I might layer the guitars depending on what I need. Guitar 4 is the shit & Ive been hearing good things about PODFarm 2.0 platinum as well. Im really disappointed with the new Amplitube though. So far PODFarm has the best selection of amps in regards to sheer originality of choices like Bogner, ENGL, Gretsch, Cornford, Supro etc.

[spontanp]

come on mate :D you listen to it through youtube! play it in your studio on good monitors and you'll see the difference

[electrichealinghands]

Can anyone tell me please, what is the best way to record an electric directly into logic?

[bluestaringeyes]

Buy an digital interface such like tascam us 122L

Or something from line6

[thet180]

RME FIREFACE, or anything from apogee will be awesome, but expensive, use an sm7 mic and ur good to go!

[2ixkarmaxi2]

Apogee duet is one of the best audio interfaces out there. Apogee was built for logic and logic has it's own menu for the apogee. Go type in Apogee Duet into google and read the reviews. It's firewire and really easy to use. Go check out dancetech channel on youtube. He did a review for the apogee duet. He shows u how to install it on to your mac and also how to use the software that comes with it. The price of the interface is about £300. But trust me, it will be a good investment. line 6 suks

[captsensible23]

i have a m-audio fast track pro. It can record 2 things at once, and connects your your mac via usb.

There quite cheap, but sound good.

[LIANG14]

By D.I

[yoboss1049]

aside from the interface changes, how is the actual sound quality different? ALL of those options are present on the old version of guitar amp

[notjustdrums]

actually they're not. There's a lot more heads and more cabs, and there's also pedals now.

[thet180]

man i wanna mac!

[cybertpad18]

what about this plugin vs guitar rig 3 or gtr3?

[funkydafunker]

Logic plus Mackie Univ Pro.Ace.

[nickweston]

Hey all you musicians-Logic is the way to go IMHO after 25 years in the business, going through DP, Nuendo and ProTools. If you're an engineer, ProTools is fine.

But if you're trying to write and create songs/cues....

Great post Jim!

[ObsidianRecording]

Logic and Pro Tools are the two big players.

[vineyPRD]

cant wait to get studio 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AnonymousInfantry]

I'm wondering how much better they'd sound with impulse responses.

[bradtwo]

5 stars.

Logic is really becoming a power house.

[jdalrymple]

Yes, it is played on a real guitar, into a mixer and then into the computer.

[zimonslot]

thnx, I need to get a mixer now... or a smaller device just to hook up 1 guitar, if such a thing excists.

[monkeayboyg]

Yes there is , its called Apogee Gio or Apogee one

[KristofWynants]

i think apogee might fit yr needs

[killtheswitch]

how about a usb interface?

[jameswolff1]

yo dude, they make little adapter things that adapt 1/4" guitar chords to the 1/8" input that you can just plug into your computer's audio input. it's cost you less than $5

[CFSpictures]

@jdalrymple Is a mixer an M-box? I wanna start my own home studio, everyone tells me i need an m-box.

[RNRDOLL]

@CFSpictures No a mixer is diff. than an mbox. An mbox is just one of many usb interfaces that you plug you guitar into and the interface goes into a usb port on the computer. As far as interfaces are concerned Im a fan of Line 6 toneport models (they are the easiest to use) and Lexicon's models (sound amazing)

[CFSpictures]

@RNRDOLL Oh ok I get it, thanks man. I've been looking into a bunch and I think I'm gonna get an Apogee Duet. Theyre really cool and super simple.

[zimonslot]

so this is played on a real guitar that is hooked up to the computer?

[BrahamCracker]

more videos that show off the features, not tell you what they are. great job man.

[madmaxit2]

This is GREAT feature of Logic 9.

What a fantastic plug-in.

In my opinion it smokes Amplitube and Guitar rig.

That plug in alone is worth around $250-400

[bradtwo]

couldnt agree more. If i hadn't already purchased the suite i wouldnt' even bother with guitar rig.

[felipescalador]

modeling amps these days are very.. good. Unless you have 20 different tube amps laying around..

By the way how is logic for electronic music production?? better than abletone??

[Roelandvinken]

infinitely better. Don;t even bother with ableton.

[thet180]

Ableton is fun to work with, and awesome for live, but logic will give better results in the studio.

[brettlingle]

What are the amps that are modeled in Logic Pro 9?
