New Logic user

[Dewald van Deventer]

Hi all. Just started using Logic pro recently. I downloaded the 90-day trial version and installed the Ninja file as well.
I am running the latest Mac os version and the latest Rogic Pro.
I literally got my new Mac mini a few weeks ago.

So here is the question:
How come, on all the tutorials I've been listening to, when pressing return gto go to the beginning of the project, I hear Voiceover saying: "1 bar, 1 beat, 1 tick" etc. ^My voiceover only says "1 bar".

Thanks
Dewald from South Africa

Hello and welcome.
The reason for this is that in a fairly recent update, logic reduced the amount of information that he speaks when you’re navigating the timeline. Trust me, what you’re hearing is a good thing. The tutorials that you’re listening to were recorded prior to the update. Voiceover no longer speaks the beats divisions and ticks if they are not necessary. I hope this helps.

Thanks Daniel. I really appreciate it. 

I thought it might have been due to an update. But I also just wanted to make sure I didn't break anything in the settings. 

I was trying to follow along the "getting started page" but I discovered that all the display settings are now all under the General tab under accessibility. 

Is it necessary to enable the "complete mode" under advanced settings? 

I am using Reaper but earlier this year on my previous Mac, I was just trying out Logic and I was surprised how easy Logic was to use. 

I'll give it a go for 90 days and record a couple of songs. 

I mostly record piano gospel songs. 

I have been using Band in a box on windows. Can I use Logic to make backtracks as well? 

Thanks and sorry for the bunch of questions.

You should grab the updated getting started course from https://logic.band/ml. 

Yes you want to turn on all complete settings for best use of Logic with keyboard commands. 

Yes you can definitely use Logic to make backing tracks, though what you consider backing tracks and how you do it may be a different thing from how you used to use band in a box.
