About Logic Pro

Designed for the iOS platform, Logic Pro is a comprehensive audio editing and MIDI sequencing platform that assists music professionals with creating and editing dynamic audio tracks using step-sequencing, multi-device editing, and live looping capabilities.

With Logic Pro, professionals can create and arrange improvised compositions using prefab loops/samples or build drum beats and melodic patterns with Logic Pro's Step Sequencer and Drummer tool. The Logic Remote tool allows users to use multi-touch gestures to play built-in software instruments, mix multiple tracks, and manipulate audio filters on any iOS device. Logic Pro comes with a vast collection of plugins and sounds such as modern synthesizers, vintage equipment, and complex multi-sampled instruments, which can be enhanced using advanced filter capabilities.

Logic Pro is equipped with an array of integrated tools, including Dolby Atmos support for mixing and exporting songs as Spatial Audio. Users can tap into a vast collection of plug-ins and sounds to ignite their creativity, making it a go-to choice for music production professionals. The software also offers the convenience of remote music-making sessions through t...

he Logic Remote app, accessible from iPad or iPhone, providing flexibility and mobility during the creative process. One of Logic Pro's standout features is its Session Players, offering realistic bass, keyboard, or drum performances that seamlessly integrate with the user's compositions. From refining tracks to mastering a mix, Logic Pro empowers users with an array of powerful tools to enhance their artistry. Among these tools are Flex Time, enabling quick manipulation of the timing and tempo of recordings without slicing and moving regions. Likewise, Flex Pitch allows for easy editing of the level and pitch of individual notes, providing maximum control over the composition. Logic Pro also streamlines the production process with innovative features such as Takes and Quick Swipe Comping, allowing users to effortlessly select the best sections of each take and seamlessly create a comp with transition-smoothing crossfades. The software's Track Stacks feature enables the consolidation of multiple related tracks into a single track, as well as the creation of layered and split instruments. Additionally, producers can explore creative options with Track Alternatives, which make it easy to create multiple versions of a track or grouped tracks and switch between them at any time. With Project Alternatives, users can create multiple alternate versions of a project, each with its own name and settings, while efficiently sharing the same assets to save storage space. Logic Pro also simplifies the management of large mixes through Track Groups and VCA Faders, allowing users to control the levels or other parameters of all tracks within a group from any single channel. The software also offers robust automation capabilities, enabling users to easily capture changes to channel strip or plug-in parameters with precision. Furthermore, Logic Pro is equipped with an array of production effects, including features such as Selection-Based Processing, Music Notation, Music and Sound for Picture, and Exporting features like Bounce. Other features include remix effects, waveform editing, audio splicing, integrated drum machine designer, smart tempo capabilities, pitch editing, track alternative management, trigger automation, selection-based audio processing, built-in notation editor, and more. For sequencing integration, Logic Pro easily integrates with Novation Launchpad to input notes, dynamically trigger cells, and adjust mixer levels. All audio filters can be exported via AirDrop/Mail Drop or through different FTPs such as Final Cut Pro XML and AAF.

Pros:

I love how fast it is to pick up, especially if you’re moving to logic from GarageBand. So if you’re a Mac user, logic is a no-brainer (no pun intended).

Cons:

The thing that I like least about logic is the fact that the updates are so crucial to the full use of the program. For instance, logic completely stopped working on my system, at least as far as the newest versions that include stem separation, due to the fact that my system is too old, however, my system is only from 2020.

Reasons for switching to Logic Pro

As far as pros is concerned, it’s become very bare bones compared to Ableton, FL studio, logic, even Cakewalk to be honest.

Its ease of use makes it the best DAW

I'm the kind of producer who gets an idea, tries to get it down as soon as possible before it blurs away. Logic helps me keeping ideas on track and do it swiftly.Using multiple au/VST plugins can get messy real quick in other DAWs, but Logic keeps it clean which makes a clearer path for your idea to sound like it does in your head. I always get surprised by the quality of the included sounds and effects, just browsing the library and listening to the different virtual instruments can bring your original idea in new territories you wouldn't expect.There are not many products who can withstand Pro Tools, but Logic is definitely the best alternative to this even-more restrictive environment.

Pros:

Open Logic with no inspiration, and get a track done in hours. It is so feature-packed you can work with its onboard set of tools and create something excellent. The GUI feels professional and user-friendly at the same time, shows that time was taken to make sense of things, instead of just cramming floating window after floating window like most other DAWs.

Cons:

There is not much not to like with Logic, except it's only available on MacOS!

Reasons for choosing Logic Pro

Over all the alternatives, Logic seemed like the best bang for the buck, and it ended up being way more than just that. Many other DAWs are good at tracking, but its the included sounds and effects that made the difference for me. That and the fact that MacOS is way more stable and reliable than Windows when working with 50+ tracks, many with virtual instruments.

Reasons for switching to Logic Pro

Cubase served me well, but I got tired of its aging interface and lack of novelties from update to update. Also, it was always tricky to get a stable working slate with it. Too much often did I lose hours of inspiration over the dreaded Blue Screen of Death, I was ready for something more professional, and Logic was the evident choice.

Unlimited sound designing tool

Logic Pro X is very powerful and quite rich with audio effects. And just like many other softwares developed by Apple Inc, there is always that potential limitation for cross platform users.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I have both been experimenting and using Logic Pro X for sound designing for instructional videos in order to match user experience with needs. This software comes with a wide range of tools and features for creative and experimental sound designing. My favorite tool is the audio editor which I use to edit and manipulate dialogue, music and other background audio elements. It is very intuitive for pitch shifting especially in monotone conversations which tend to be boring. The time stretching also helps in extending background audio clips. Instructional audios and video often require a great high level of clarity and Logic Pro X allows me to set required sample rate and bit depth that matches the requirements of my sound design project.

Cons:

My main challenge with Logic Pro X has been compatibility issues. This is a macOS only software and for someone who works in a cross platform environment, it can be challenging and a bit limiting. However, it is easy to use its vast and resourceful audio effects in other platforms with a little know how.

Live Loops a great time saver in Logic

I have loved LP Live Loops and the flexibility of use with a control surface. Over time I have learnt how to integrate LP with Final Cut Pro. I would like to see more done to make LP work better with M1 Pro Computers.

Pros:

It is impressive what I am able to achieve in short time by using Logic Pro (LP) live loops. There are tons of loops available which allow me to experiment various songs ideas. I have been able to create projects with loops only and export them as XML to Final Cut Pro. The loops are very adjustable and flexible to work with in LP and I am able to use a control surface with a lot of ease for faster workflow.

Cons:

I was excited with news of LP optimization for M1 Pro computers. However, it has been tears for me and a long story of regrets for another day. Nothing seems to work anymore. The software keeps on crashing. There does not seem to be a solution and almost tempted to move on to something else for now.

Pros:

I like the templates that come pre-designed for different options and initial configurations such as a drummer, a microphone and a sequencer. The effects are very complete, mainly the 8-band parametric equalizer, since you can create filters from there without the need for other plugins. Using external VSTS was easy, even the ones I had previously installed. And the variety of formats for export was something that I definitely fell in love.

Cons:

The initial configuration was something that I did not like, since it was somewhat complicated to locate my folders, in addition to the fact that the interface should have a simpler command instruction

My go-to audio sequencer

Logic is the most flexible music sequencer available. It is also a mighty powerful audio editor, competing with the bigger players - ProTools and Nuendo in most areas. I prefer to use one sequencer for all my needs and Logicx is the most flexible.
