4.0 out of 5 stars Best value for the money on Apple, January 11, 2010

This review is from: Logic Studio Upgrade From Logic Pro [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

There are now a number of DAW's available for Macs. Why choose Logic rather than one of the others such as Cubase, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, etc.? In a nutshell: Value. Apple provides a huge number of software instruments to drive with your MIDI keyboard, abundant (perhaps too-abundant) processing plugins, a gigantic number of samples to fire off in your loops, and of course MainStage for firing off your samples and MIDI instruments at performance time. And while workflow for some things is, frankly, lousy, that's just as true of its competitors. Every single one of them has tasks where you have to jump through way too many hoops to get common things done.

Why *NOT* to buy Logic: It only runs on Macs. Duh. If you intend to work with musicians who don't have Macs to e.g. swap tracks across the country, it gets tedious because you have to bounce your tracks to a common format (WAV) and then they have to import the bounce into their own DAW so that they can hear what they're adding a new track to. Not a bad problem for occasional things of this sort, but if you're regularly collaborating with a non-Mac guy, it gets really, really tedious and you should probably choose something other than Logic.

I am a fan of Logic Studio but 9 is not much of an upgrade from 8. It should have been named 8 1/2.

I'm a Mac user for only 3 years or so, but during that time I learned to really appreciate the quality, durability and ease-of-use of this computer.

Logic Pro 9 is, in my opinion, the best music creation software available today. I've used ProTools and Cubase in the past, but none of them is as easy to learn and adapt to as Logic.

$500 is quite a lot, but you get a huge return for that amount. Thousands of ready-made high quality loops, a whole lot of features and custom options, and a very strong set of programs.

With Logic, there are no more excuses - you've got everything (and then some) you need to make great music, so go ahead and get it done...
