  • ARA Problems

    For years now Logic has not updated to fix the ongoing ARA plugin problems. While this is a great software, when issues arise it often takes 5 years for Apple to address it. So if you want your software to work, maybe this isn’t the best option. If you are a beginner, than this won’t be a problem until you start using the software for actual producing needs.

    I’m an indie music producer, and ive been making music for about a year now. This DAW is really good for people who are starting music production or sound editing. Ive been using Logic Pro for just a year now and everything that I’ve wanted to do I can do it with Logic Pro. It’s got a wide variety of loops, sounds, and effects that you can use. It also has such a user friendly interface even giving you tips on how to use things properly. I highly recommend this software. Its awesome! :D

    I am a full-time professional music producer and songwriter, and Logic is my daily driver. Just wanted to leave a review as a thank you to the devs for adding a lot of really cool features and keeping Logic competitive. Here are my favorite features: - Key Commands: (Logic has so many functions, that many are only assignable by key command). Plus, you can make any function in the program into a key command (for example, you can change Delete from the delete key to “D” or the mute key to “B” so it’s within easy reach.) The one thing I wish I could do in Ableton is assign custom key commands to every function, which is unfortunately just not possible right now. - File structure: Saving Logic projects as a folder rather than a package lets you easily structure and organize your files. I never realized how much I would love this until I used Ableton and had to start doing the “collect all and save” shenanigans, which is such an odd and very unintuitive work flow. - Plug-in search and IO labels: This was a long requested feature, and I’m so happy they implemented it. I think they could probably take some inspiration from Plugsearch though to make it feel more premium. - Smart Quantize: Lets you keep the groove of your MIDI playing while still locking it more to the beat. This is different from just adjusting the quantization slider - Stock instruments: Logic’s instruments like the studio trumpets, electronic drums, and piano are so good that they compete with third party libraries like Kontakt’s Komplete. They seem to be updating these, and I really look forward to more instruments. - Stock plug-ins: Same as the instruments, Logic’s stock plug-ins are really good, particularly Chromaglow, Beatbreaker (even though it is challenging to use) QRS, chromaverb/spacedesigner, and default compressor. - Stem Splitter: This is so useful for reference tracks - User Interface: While having no impact on sound, the feel of a program matters. I love the way the UI looks and feels, and it’s easy to make Logic genuinely look beautiful Wishlist: 1) Change the audio processing engine. This is the NUMBER ONE thing that puts Logic behind DAWs like Ableton and Pro Tools. Many people have noticed that you often have to work really hard to make Logic masters competitive with Ableton and Pro Tools in terms of loudness and punch. I don’t know the cause, whether it’s the default plug-ins in the DAWs (maybe compressor or Quick Sampler/Sampler) or something else more deep-rooted like the engine. Maybe try reverse engineering those DAWs to figure it out, or just poach someone from Ableton and Avid. 2) SWAM Audio: I think having SWAM-based instruments would be game changing as default plug-ins because they’re so lightweight and sound so good. If you added this and changed the audio engine, I think Logic would be unquestionably the best DAW on the planet.

    What are we doin? Poach an Avid engineer and get it done.
  • Crashing Continuously

    Searching for another DAW now, always loved logic but it looks like I just lost a fully fleshed out song because Logic has been crashing for the last 3 months- used to be able to recover by opening a blank project then opening the other but that’s no longer working. Beware.
  • Doesn’t work after update

    If you have intel, DON’T update. It takes me 10-15 minutes each time to open my projects as it crashes each time at startup. I tried contacting Apple and they are no help
  • Logic was my first DAW, now im Pro Tools Certified

    If you are serious about making music or audio engineering let me give you a tip. Don’t spend your time trying to learn Logic or Reaper or even FL studio because im telling you. In all professional studios Pro Tools is the DAW of choice for a reason. Abelton Live is one of the only ones that actually competes but honestly you only want to use that for production like beats and electronic music and you still want to export that into pro tools for engineering because Pro Tools is king when it comes to recording, mixing and Mastering. I could go on for days explaining why but honestly don’t waste a whole bunch of time learning these other DAWs because it will only screw you in the end when you step into a professional setting and don’t know anything about Pro Tools. All this other stuff is for the birds.
  • Fantastic DAW

    I am a professional composer and sound engineer primarily working with orchestral performers. While I do work with electronics from time to time, I mostly record acoustic instruments (brass, strings, reeds, percussion, etc). Weather I’m using one mic or several, or mixing a pre-recorded multitrack with 30+ inputs, this DAW does it all. It has fantastic midi functionality, amazing built-in (included) plugins, and infinite control. Not to mention, it’s a one-time purchase at 1/2 the price of Cubase (my other go-to DAW), I’d highly recommend Logic as the primary DAW for anyone who uses Mac.
