    Had finally finished a session with a major artist and the file corrupts. I have a new Mac with great specs. Lost everything. All the audio sounds weird and horrible now. No amount of money can fix this.

    one time fee, better than most other DAWs, no new version every year that you dont own, no yearly subscription. Also comes with Apple Support, what choice is there to make? pro tip- if you are coming from other DAWs you can change the key commands to your preferred layout based on which program you are coming from!

    Started using Logic in 2009, it just keeps getting better imho. Sure, other DAWs might do some things better, but I believe its best to learn one DAW the best you can and stick with it. They all basically do the same thing - help people create music. Whether you record everything live or use all the loops and newer, intelligent features, you can pretty much make any kind of music you want from your laptop with Logic.

    Made drum sounds way worse, made logic far less intuitive. Big emphasis on terrible sounding drums, they have ruined them

  • From a Musician with Over 20 Years in the Industry

    By theblueday
    Having worked in the music industry for over two decades, I’ve had the opportunity to use virtually every major DAW—and while I’m currently working with Logic Pro, I’d like to offer some thoughts that come from both deep experience and genuine affection for the platform. Not long ago, a tweet comparing Logic Pro unfavorably to Pro Tools went viral, sparking a wave of commentary and independent testing from musicians and engineers. I’ve followed much of that discourse, and I believe it’s partly right and partly misguided. But what it does highlight is this: Logic, even today, still seems to operate with the mindset of a composition-first tool, rather than a fully modern production environment. Take something as simple—but fundamental—as the Pan knob. Logic still defaults to a balance control, not a stereo pan. This small decision speaks volumes about Logic’s design philosophy. A DAW that seeks to serve producers and engineers should prioritize stereo panning as the norm. The current setup feels more at home in a songwriting sketchpad than in a full-fledged mix room. There’s also the matter of Send routing. Logic insists on defaults that are difficult to override, rather than letting users define their own workflow. Even many of Apple’s own musician presets use post-fader sends, yet the environment makes pre-fader sends the norm in places where that may not make sense. These kinds of inflexible defaults give critics easy talking points—and unfortunately, they’re not wrong. And then there’s the Master channel. I’m genuinely puzzled by how little it has evolved. Take Studio One as a comparison: it offers a dedicated mastering workspace, something Logic could absolutely benefit from. Today’s Macs are vastly more powerful than they were even a few years ago, and modern projects demand more in terms of real-time processing, mastering, and integrated workflows. Why not embrace that? Another long-standing frustration is ARA integration. I own two Apple Silicon Macs, and yet I still find myself booting up my old Intel Mac just to work with Melodyne in Logic. That really shouldn’t be the case in 2025. Whether the technical challenge lies with Logic or with Celemony, it’s hard to justify this delay—especially when other DAWs have already implemented robust ARA support on Apple Silicon. It makes Logic feel like a tool built to hand off to someone else, rather than something a professional can finish the job with. And now, regarding Logic’s focus on AI: While I understand the excitement around generative tools and assistive technologies, I worry that Logic is investing too heavily in these features at the cost of more fundamental improvements. I still remember when Steve Jobs introduced GarageBand and said, “It’s not a toy.” That statement stuck with me—because it was about elevating accessible tools into professional-grade creative platforms. Likewise, Logic should not be seen merely as a tool where AI writes music for the user. It should continue to evolve as a powerful environment where professionals craft, shape, mix, and finish records that live and breathe in the real world of the music industry. We don’t use Logic as a toy, and we don’t see it as one. My critique here isn’t coming from cynicism—it comes from respect. I believe in Logic. I believe in Apple’s legacy of empowering creators. And I sincerely hope to see this incredible DAW grow into everything it’s capable of being, not just for songwriters, but for the whole of modern music production.

  • The Best DAW for Mac, Period!

    I’ve been using Logic since the eMagic days before the company was acquired by Apple and it has helped shape my music production over the years as someone self-produced. When Apple took over rights of Logic I was worried that they wouldn’t continue to develop the software but nothing could be further from the truth. The continued development of Logic has been nothing short of extraordinary as it has proven to remain one of the most feature laden DAWs. The overall price of Logic is what other DAW manufacturers charge for major updates, and the major updates just keep coming for Logic. Like any DAW, there is a learning curve for such powerful software, so expect to invest time. GarageBand is essentially a stripped down version of Logic, it’s recommend beginners start there. Happy music making!
