Jamie M.: Hi, my name's Jamie. I'm a safety and security investigator at William Hills, which is a company with over 10,000 employees, and I give Logic a five-star rating. We use the audio editing functions in our job mostly to take audio taken in shops that are recorded and put it into just how we need it so we can cut out the bits that we don't want, keep the bits that we do want, and we use that for work purposes. What I like most about Logic Pro is the ease of use. It's quite intuitive, especially when you're trying to put in crossfades at the beginning and end of audio files. It's very quick and easy to use if you want to move audio around. Exporting tracks is quick and generally it serves its purpose and it does it very well. So the things that I'm not a great fan of in Logic Pro is the amount of menus that you have to go through to get to the plugins that you might want. I find that there's an option where you can do drag and drop, but through the menu windows, if the mouse slides off a little bit, you have to start the whole process again, and on long editing sessions, that can become a little bit tedious.

Harlan: Hi. My name is Harlan, and I'm Director of Operations. I give Audacity five stars. And for more reviews like this, click below. We considered using Sound Forge, which was an open source software. But we liked Audacity better, so we went with Audacity. The reason why we chose Audacity was their tech support was outstanding. They made it very easy to onboard. And, of course, the software is easy to use, a very small learning curve. Basically, it was us downloading the software, contacting tech support to get us all onboarded. The process took probably 20 minutes, and we were up and running and editing audio software, which was great. I highly recommend Audacity for other business users, especially if you're looking to edit presentation software. If you need to insert sounds or clips, it just makes it very easy to do so with Audacity. Highly recommend it.
