Used for On An Island, in addition to Pro Tools, as mentioned by producer Phil Manzanera in this July 2006 Sound on Sound article.

Work began in May 2004 and continued for six months at Gilmour's home studio and Manzanera's Gallery Studio, where he has a Euphonix desk and a Pro Tools setup, but works mainly in Logic. (...) "I also made up an ambient track for 'Red Sky At Night', with children's voices and other sounds, while 'Take A Breath' has underwater sounds and a bell, plus the sound of something being thrown in the water. I may also have some dolphin and whale sounds. I've always enjoyed doing things like that, and with Pro Tools and Logic it's become so much easier to do. Basically, the album ended up with sound effects all over the place."

Given that Logic Pro 6 was released in March 2004 and Logic Pro 7 was released on September 24, 2004, Manzanera would have owned Logic Pro 6, the latest version of the DAW in May 2004, at the time of On An Island's recording.
