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 the 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.

Logic Pro: Get Over Here!

Eye opener. Being a Pro Tools user for 20 years it was an impressive change. It has the best from all the main DAWs (Avid, Live, etc)

Pros

Everything. Interface UX, FLEX, DOLBY ATMOS integration, Automation, voice to midi, midi plugins, midi scripter,etc etc etc. A W E S O M E.

Cons

No CONS. Really I think everything involved with this DAW is exceptional. At this price point it has a lot of features, like DOLBY mixing, that cost 10 times it's price point in other soft. You wont regret it. Granted.

Simply the best

Logic pro served me well in my many years of music composition and recording, allowing me to reach goals that I never even dreamt of before, all within my study room. You need plenty of time and effort to get the best out of it but it’s totally worth it

Pros

It may be expensive, it may look overwhelming on the first uses, but one you get the hang of it, it is as powerful as you may ask and dream for. A tool capable to cater to the needs of pros as well as beginners willing to invest time and effort

Cons

The price may look a bit too steep for an amateur / total beginner, but the pro feature set very much justifies it. The learning curve just to get started is a bit steep, but then it’s up to you dwell more or less deep in the many many features and capabilities available

Alternatives Considered

FL Studio and REAPER

Reasons for Choosing Logic Pro

I wanted to move to a Mac-dedicated software of pro level

Switched From

Live and FL Studio

Reasons for Switching to Logic Pro

Logic Pro is the golden standard for Mac systems and the one that best catered to my needs, all related to music recording and composition and not on live performances

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.

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.
