Maybe that’s a bit hyperbolic, but it sure feels like it sometimes. I think that I spend about 20% of my time mixing in Logic fumbling with that stupid little bar. Yes, I’m talking about that space below the FX. In order to add an FX when there’s an FX present you must click that tiny little bar. I’ve included a screenshot above with an arrow showing the tiny area. When adding plugins there’s a very tiny bar for you to select.

Regardless of how it’s done, the way Logic does it is probably the worst. Another excellent option is the way that Studio One handles it where there’s an organized browser with screenshots. Even though you can organize plugins pretty nicely, selecting those plugins requires visually parsing and navigating multi-tiered menus.


I’ve split things in to categories as well so that you can see the portions that are of most interest to you. There won’t be too many images here, so be prepared for a bit of reading and not many eye-catching screenshots. I will gladly update the post with the information if it’s good. It’s time for the post that everyone seems to love: when I talk about the stuff I dislike about a DAW.įirst things first: If you see anything that’s wrong or know of a great work around then please leave a comment.
