I had Logic Express 8, so not only would this be an upgrade, but an update as well. According to the website, this upgrade package would even work from older versions of Logic Express. Given that buying an older version of Express and upgrading can be cheaper than buying Logic Studio directly, I thought this must be too good to be true. I called Apple, and the person I spoke to wasn't sure it would work, either.

Well, I just got my copy yesterday, and I can vouch that it works perfectly, at least for upgrading/updating Logic Express 8. When you consider the overwhelming array of instruments and software that you get with Logic Studio (9 DVDs worth!) this makes it just about the best deal in software I've ever seen, even at this three figure price. It's like having a recording studio and the worlds biggest hardware rack right in your laptop.

If you've been playing around with Logic Express, and are thinking about getting Logic Studio, I can assure it's worth it, especially through this upgrade path. If you're new to Logic, I recommend getting a used copy of Logic 8, and then if it turns out you'd like to get the full version, you'll be able to get Logic Studio 9 for probably less than buying it outright.

I upgraded from Logic Express 8 when I ran into a one-day sale at one of the daily deal sites. I couldn't resist. I didn't buy Logic Studio when I first got Logic because as a typically-overextended working parent, I didn't think I'd have time to get into the extras. To a large extent that's true. All of them are there, it's just a matter of discovery.

I want to talk about what this Studio offers a synth-noodler that Express doesn't, in other words, what do you get for the extra $2xx? Forget all the non-instrument stuff, there's plenty to justify the price. I'm just talking about instruments. The first thing is the modeling synth, Structure. Structure is deep, it has some diverse tones, but for some reason, I found it a little boring. The biggest change from a noodler's prospective is the increased content for the EXS-24 sampler. With all those DVD's worth of content, I was expecting more, but honestly there's enough to keep you busy for a long time. If you like to play in classical or soundtrack styles, you'll like the added Jampack sounds. They still could use a good GM2, or XG extended General Midi soundset, but you can roll your own without too much trouble. The basic EXS library is expanded in Studio, especially the synthesizer-type sounds. Especially noteworthy are the LA (think Roland D-50) and evolving digital sounds.

Next question, is the upgrade the BEST use of $2xx? That's not an easy question. There's some good stuff out there from other manufacturers, and some good sales going on. Native Instruments KOMPLETE 6 - The Native Instruments Collection Software is available for not a lot more.

I will keep this review simple. I upgraded from Logic Express 8 and I am impressed with all that this package has delivered. This upgrade package did not require Logic Express to be installed on the Mac it just required the Logic Express serial number. I have it currently installed on a Mac Mini dual core, 4 gig mem, with Mt Lion.

This (studio edition) DAW is loaded. You can use this on a casual level or at a sound engineering level, it lacks nothing. I will never engage in arguments comparing the attributes of one DAW over another, they are a lot of really good ones available. Logic Pro Studio is one of the top DAWs out there. I will also be purchasing Ableton, Reason, MOTU, Avid in the future as well as others.

I won't try to list all of the products attributes here, I just don't have the time. You can go to Apple site to get the specifics and even shell out some money to get Apple Pro Certification on Logic if needed. One thing can be said about Logic Pro you get more for your money than others offer.

Coming from a couple decades of using Cakewalk programs on PCs I found it extremely frustrating when I first began attempting to learn Logic Express 8 a couple years back, in fact, it didn't get much use. The switch to Macs, however, kept me coming back to mess with it and eventually I began to know my way around it somewhat.

I've tried a number of different sequencers on both PC and Mac at this point. I still like Sonar Producer because it's the one I'd become most familiar with but I've also found MOTU Digital Performer to be tops for live performance applications. When it comes to Logic Pro 9 I think it's strength is the ability to lay out new song ideas quickly with the easy access to, and ability to quickly audition, Apple midi and audio loops.

I haven't spent any real time with Main Stage and will not comment on that or other parts of the Logic Studio package. I will say, it's a huge package with a lot of content (9 DVDs full!).

It's a must for serious Mac using music composers.

It's unbelievable what you get in the upgrade. I recommend logic studio to everyone. It's amazing that professional grade software is available at this price. I love writing orchestral music, and Logic gives me everything I need. I have used other software and my friend uses pro tools. Logic is by far a million times easier to understand and use. It let's me completely focus on the music, and not get stressed out from trying to work the software.
