logic pro x

Hey everyone, my friend bought logic pro x. He put it on a flash drive and i downloaded it onto my mac just to test it out. Whenever I try to make a beat and put any hard 808s like lex luger kits or others in they're always way too loud and I have to turn them down so low that its pretty much pointless. Do you think its because it isn't the original logic bought off the website? definitely looking to purchase a daw just wanted to get some opinions on this first. Thanks hope to hear from you all soon

the studio monitors are samson, they aren't that good.. not doing anything inside the ultra beat and nothing else really in the low end except bass but even before the bass it still clips loud. I sent an example to someone I know and they said the kicks are distorted but I know of plenty other people that use the kicks thats why I thought it might be bc my logic isn't original

alright I'm gunna post a tiny sample. what I'm posting is literally 3 minutes of messing around solely to show an example of the kicks clipping.

for some reason media fire is queuing at the moment, is there an easier way i could share the samples here?

i think i figured it out, thanks for all your help. my last question is, what are the drawbacks of not having the "legal" version of logic? like what won't i have that i would have if i bought it?

Well what was the issue?

As far as not having the legal version, everything should work fine. But come on its $200, are you going to try and sells beats? Then you should pay for your tools. If you are just learning and not making money then I think it's a wash.
