i'd be interested in tips you find when using logic. are you running mostly samples via exs24? synths? 3rd party plugins? when i use logic, i try to stick with built-in au's as much as possible, with a couple free 3rd party ones i use on almost every production, and any plugins i write for myself.
Logic is now a tape deck for me.
In the past I used 3rd party synths and samples. But really, Logic is very well serviced as far as effects and instruments go. I also sampled my Juno 106 and Dx7 to make exs24 patches (there is Juno and Dx7 throughout those tracks). Sampled records etc. My fav 3rd party plug in was the Audio Damage ADverb. Basically an 80s reverb emu. I also play guitar so that makes in it sometimes.
Now I am using only the 2kxl and my 1000 odd record collection. I'm loving the results so far and I'm really still a novice at the mpc. Just picking up tricks and tips here has helped immensely.
edit: I didn't really answer your question. As far as tips for Logic, I am probably not the person to give out the tips because I have moved on from it because I felt like it wasn't a good match for me. But that's any daw really. I am not the kinda person who does well when presented with limitless options. Logic, Cubase etc, these things are amazing pieces of technology in the right hands. You can do anything if you have the ideas and the knowledge of how a daw works. If you have any specific problems I am happy to try and help, but I am no Yodo.
