Pretty easy to use and it’s better than GarageBand.

I remember back my days using GarageBand, it was easy to use as well but not my favorite kind of looking. So I upgraded to Logic Pro. It’s easy to use when the advance tools on. I like the fact that I can be able to see what the plug ins and other things are being used. Unlike GarageBand, it’s somewhere around the corner which is kinda struggling to get. I can add midis notes and other things. GarageBand was kinda hard to me, but Logic Pro made it easier.

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER...

Okay, I've only been using Logic since v.9 but it's been over ten years! I made the switch from Ableton, primarily because my focus has been composition and production over live performance. We all have our idiosyncratic preferences and workflows, and Logic fits mine... Alright before you call me overcomplex, frustrating, and anal retentive, you Livebots, know that over the years, Logic has gotten way more user-friendly, and its interface can be chopped and cropped to the user's needs. With X we got a more modern, darker look [this can be modified as well], streamlined Main Window [used to be the Arrangement window], more feature changes and additions than I can barely scratch at here, Alchemy synth, etc., ad nauseam, but my favorite new feature.....

Logic Remote....

What an awesome interface for controlling Logic. Mixer, Smart Controls, but I'm head-over-heels with the Key Commands page[s]. It's quite simple, endless screens of customizable colorful pads that you assign whatever Key Command you desire. One row at the bottom is static with your most used pads; it is Transport by default.

When I first bought Logic, it was $999. Its now boxless, and its downloaded from the App Store for $299. This includes all the synths, plugins. Only one version, no Suite or Lite versions where you end up paying $1000 for the rest of the DAWs effects and instruments.

It can be daunting, the learning curve, but if you can use a help menu, and better, read a user guide, this software will provide a lifetime of musical discovery and the reward of creating and composing.

Solid DAW.

Been a Logic user since 2011, a good solid DAW to use and it tends to argue with you a little less than Pro Tools does. The stock plug-ins aren't amazing but they're a good foundation, and in comparison to Pro Tools it can be a little on the clunky side with EQ, and more advanced editing like sample replacement for me. But on the whole Logic is fairly straightforward to use.

But as it always has been Logic is great value for money for a professional DAW and I'd highly recommend saving up to get it over getting a free DAW if you want something pro-level but can't afford Pro Tools.

Layer and make sounds

Just been using this to produce for the last three - five years. Going from GarageBand to FL to Logic, it was one of my personal favorite DAW to use. Extremely easy to use. 100% suggest using it.

Logic Just Makes Sense

Logic is very good. Having been used to Reaper for the past few years, moving to Logic is definitely steps ahead (though Reaper is good for what it is). The vast amount of software instruments alone is staggering, and most of them seem to sound great. While I still have much to learn on Logic, it's fairly simple and intuitive, and I will be using it for years to come.

Not my first choice.

This was never my main sequencer, but during the time I played around with it there was definitely a different element of workflow to my usual FL Studio. A couple of people have also hassled me about why I didn't choose version X, and the reason for this is simply because it doesn't follow this technological trend of everything getting smaller. The EQ, Reverb and Compressor windows - which I'm sure are a regular applications to tracks for many users - have such large UI's that they just get in the way. Logic 9's interfaces are much smaller in size and offer the same functionality, so I see this as the more justifiable option in this case.

Logic's fixed interface for the mixer and matrix editors (reminiscent of Apple's typical closed-system structure) was something to get used to having worked only in detached environments before. This didn't really affect time consumption or anything, as I managed to work on one production in around a similar time I would have worked on any other with my head down. One of the key advantage that this has above other DAW's however is that you can multitask around arranging and mixing at the same time being given the Stereo Out and the current selected track on the left side of the interface. Another aspect which Logic has over other software is it's immense and generous demo library. The quality of each sound, particularly the orchestral instruments absolutely compliments the 60GB that has to be installed. On top of this there is the option to take a peek at a few finalised & unmastered projects of hit songs (from 2009) from artists such as The Killers and Lily Allen.

A couple of downsides to the DAW however is that viewing waveforms for audio files is a pain in the ass, even zooming in you get this awkward-to-use intercepting bucket-tool filled sine pattern. Secondly, the smart snapping feature isn't a smart as it could be when copying & pasting individual drums, so a lot of quantising is a;ways needed. Despite this, I often wonder why Pro Tools is still the industry-standard, despite it's ability to connect itself to multiple instances & machines running the software and professional recording environment. When something like Logic, although isn't necessarily new, is becoming more appealing to young people with Macbook's and just wanna record their own things, and offers a similar amount of complexity and flexibility that Logic does.

Very good DAW for doing just about anything music related

The 10.4 update was a massive addition to an already stable and well renowned DAW. Not as much fun to work in as Reason 10, but absolutely a safe and cost effective choice for those that want to go the safe route and invest their time in a professional DAW with tons of built-in functionality for a very nice price. Also with more and more studios now supporting its use, it should not be a problem to go the Logic way, even if your goal is to become proficient in music production on a professional level. There are plenty of well known producers that work solely in Logic.

Cool Pro DAW

I started on FL Studio, which is a very cool DAW, and I switched to Logic 'cause I felt more this kind of "Pro" vibe on it and I'm very happy now. It looks more "pro" I think

Anyway, the DAW you use doesn't matter, the more important is what you do with it, so just use the DAW you like.

But for 230$, Apple give you a fully functionnal music production software, with a huuge sound bank, which contain thousands of very cool presets and orchestral thing, lots of acoustic instruments.

If you have an Apple Computer, it is the best DAW yo can get.

Well rounded with professional features for $350

This DAW has it all, pitch correction, decent audio editing, and an excellent recording function. While Logic's capabilities aren't those of Pro Tools, for $350 NZD it's a steal. One complaint is the piano roll, it's clunky, slow, and frustrating. Other than that the stock plugins are great, the features are plenty and overall it's incredibly solid!

Incredible DAW. Like all others, pros will need more.

I have been around recording studios for a while now and I frequently ask the engineers I'm working with questions about what they're doing. One consistent bit of advice I've been given is that a quality DAW is worth the money. They have also told me that you don't need to commit to something expensive right away. So I took my time learning Pro Tools in school and messing around with GarageBand and Reaper (among others) on my own time. It was worth cutting my teeth on those so I could learn the basic similarities between all DAWs.

Fast forward to now: I love Logic. I have only had the DAW for a short time but I am thoroughly impressed thus far. Apple boasts of a seamless transition from GarageBand to Logic and I can verify this. The framework appears to be the same but LPX is on another level. There is a lot more horsepower in Logic so it can handle many more raw tracks, automation, plugins, etc.

My favorite feature that I am playing with right now is Flex Time and Flex Pitch. It's unreal how powerful of a tool this is. Having said that, it's not quite pro level when it comes to fixing tracks. It will handle minor errors beautifully but I have noticed little audio artifacts in the background of tracks once I have applied Flex Pitch. For $200 it's incredible and it does its job. However, pro studios that use LPX are likely going to use Melodyne for heavy duty pitch correction. This isn't really a knock on Logic as it is an acknowledgment that any big studio will have a lot of avenues open to them. The same goes for the amps. They sound really good. But I really like BIAS and Amplitube as well. These are tastes that are completely individual and you'll need to find out what software/gear you want to acquire to augment your DAWs capabilities.

For a musician on a budget this is the answer. If you've reached the point where you want to take another step in the artistic realization of your music, or to enhance the quality of your band's demos give Logic Pro X a try. It's certainly worth every penny that you pay for it.
