Drive-By High Five

I just returned to NYC last night after a weekend in Baltimore for the Megapolis Festival. (So much fun!) I’ll have a blog post about some of the sound design in this video later in the week, but for now I’ve got to get back to “real life” and catch up with some work here. [...]

(For my money, the best DAW program is the one that lets me work the quickest and make the best-sounding edits, and as of this moment that’s Logic.) Instead, I’d just like to focus on how I use Logic specifically to edit radio-style projects, so that any radio/podcast people out there can give Logic a try. It’s written with someone in mind who is reasonably familiar with basic “radio-style” editing in Pro Tools.
