nice video..

but lots of user clicking and user interraction from what i see.

the guy obviously knows his stuff...but i feel for someone new to production they might find it all rather complex.
i mean people say bb is complex and complain...but i find bb simpler by comparison....imho.
enter chords..choose a style...and generate....bam...away you go.

when im in the song creation zone i like to get ideas down fast.
bb lets me get the idea down fast....without lots of user interraction and clicks.
and of course...now fast genning which i love.
i can now with fast genning in bb have a demo song in little time.
i would find this a lengthy process for me by comparison.

these are excellent products he is demoing obviously ...but i feel probably for seasoned advanced music production users rather than newbies..
its the old problem...
the more features a music app has..because developers want happy users...the more the length of the learning cycle and complexity.
developers cant win.

just my opinion.

I have both of these programs and watched the video early this morning. The song he did at the end I think using the vocal was awsome. David is a very talented musician for sure.
However as you have stated this program is not a very user friendly program. It certainly is not EZscaler 2!!! It is a powerful tool once you get your head around it and play with it a while though.

Very impressive stuff in this video, thanks for sharing.
I like the integration of a DAW, a Plugin and a physical keyboard; there also seems to be a bit of AI drizzled in for good measure.
The industry is definately moving forward; exciting times!

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

I’m working through the chord builder and the Session Musicians in Logic 2 (the new IPad version). It’s definitely a challenge. Most of my frustration so far is the dealing with UI difference between Logic 11 (Mac) and Logic 2 (IOS). I know the Mac version of Logic , not the IOS version

The chord Input UI is a bit different from BIAB. Like BIAB there are a couple of approaches. I believe in time AAPL will make this easier. Meantime I guess you pick one anpproach and get good at it. Not much different from BIAB.
Some interesting capability using playhead positioning. You can fire a chord pretty much anywhere in a bar.
The constructor is good enough.

The session musicians have capabilities. The tweakable parameters for each is useful. And if all else fails there’s an easy render to midi.

The keyboard session musician is quite configurable. Left and right hand separate config. Inversions, moving bass lines, etc. Sophisticated.

At the present time Logic has nowhere near the styles that BIAB brings to the table.
Need a Bossa Groove or a zydeco bounce.… not happening
For now.

AAPL may deliver some additional grooves/styles for their musicians. They have been pretty slow (IMO) over the last few years delivering on the drummer styles. Fine if you want a hard hitting rock drummer, not so nice if you like a light touch with brushes on a jazz kit.

It may be a place for 3rd party products. Definitely exciting times.

Finally, I watched a portion of the scaler video above. At present I’m not sure scaler is any faster at chord entry than just using the Logic Chord interface. As mentioned above it’s a lot of clicks. Based on my experience I think I could do it quicker without scaler.

Now an XML or IrealPro chord input…. That would be useful.

Enter all the chords in the chord track, then drag the chord track to a blank instrument track and it will fill all the bars with the chord midi data. Real powerful and fast.
