Pros

It has Excellent quality and capabilities that live up to professional music industry standards, at a fairly affordable price.

Cons

There is definitely a learning curve and it's not always the most intuitive but with guidance and work it comes together pretty quickly

I made the switch to Logic many years ago, and it was the sole reason I changed from PC to Mac, which then led me to change my entire OS preference. It has been the software I have probably used the longest and still find joy using it today. Because I know how to use it, I often get asked to quickly cut audio for videos (social media, video content etc) and I can get it done quickly.

Pros

Audio editing and the general interface of the DAW are simple to use, yet highly capable. Having used many DAWs over the years, Logic has always felt the most intuitive to me, and it’s integration with MacOS and other iOS devices makes it the best for me to use.

Cons

If I haven’t used it for a while, it can feel a bit daunting as so much new content and many new features get added.

Great software for beginners through professionals. Easy to learn the fundamental basics to create great music.

Superb. The vocal recording is good for recording my client base. There’s many microphone features. There’s so many features in general the app is very well made for computer and iPads. I love logic and keeps getting better.

Pros

First of all logic is very easy to use. The audio editing is vast in many aspects. Grid editing, sound manipulation and more. The app stays structurally secure most of the time.

Cons

The customer support, not bad but barely used. Haven’t really experienced too much problems. It run fantastic most of the time. There was a few crashes but it rebooted easily.

As someone who has enjoyed dabbling in music recording and production for many years with entry level software such as Garageband, Logic Pro opens up a whole new world of possibilities with the array of tools it offers and the ease of use that it delivers. To anyone coming from a Garageband background, Logic feels like coming home, albeit a more fancy, upscale version of home. I recently updated to version 11 and am extremely excited about the new virtual session Keyboard and Bass players. I've really appreciated the virtual Drummer since it was released a few years ago as I am not a drummer myself and having a tool of this quality really helps to spice up your recordings and tighten things up rhythmically. I have used Logic Pro for at least 10 years and find it very accessible and intuitive, as someone who is largely self-taught through trial and error.

Pros

What I like the most about Logic Pro is that as a former Garageband user, it is very familiar territory. The general user interface, the look, and layout are very similar to Garageband. Essentially, Logic Pro is Garageband on steroids. I also love the sheer array of tools, software instruments, plugins and loops at your disposal to aid and inspire you in the creative process. As a solo artist, Logic Pro's Virtual Drummer and the new Keyboard and Bass Session players are a boon to my creative process and helps to track passably realistic takes of instruments that I don't play.

Cons

What I like least about Logic Pro is tied to what I like the most about it. The sheer array of tools at your disposal and especially the depth and complexity of some of the plugins can be intimidating to a new user. Plugins like Delay Designer, Phat FX, and Alchemy can be quite overwhelming to a self taught hobbyist producer like myself when encountered for the first time. However, that is to be expected as Logic Pro is professional level music production software, and even if I was intimidated at first, it didn't stop me from tinkering and playing around with settings to learn how to operate them.

Une bonne expérience pour la composition. La bibliothèque des sons , instruments virtuels et effets intégrés est riche et de qualité sans forcément ajouter des plugins externes. Outil puissant ,de bonne qualité et à bon prix pour un beatmaker mais pour un ingénieur du son, je ne le conseille pas trop.

Pros

La programmation MIDI , la qualité des instruments maisons.Le tarif est très correct avec des mises à jour gratuites.

Cons

Le mixage est moins précis que sur Pro tools, le workflow qui personnellement ne me convient pas . L'édition audio n'est pas aussi simple.

Overall great. I think it’s the best creative writing tool for music. Not so much tracking a finished song but creating

Pros

It just does everything and has so many assets and instruments to create with out of the box. Plus it’s MAC!

Cons

Sometimes it crashes. But they all do. I don’t really like the routing on it. That could be simpler to do.

Logic Pro X has been my go-to DAW for recording and comping. Great for singers and instrumentalists- anyone working with audio extensively. That said, when it comes to fast idea sketching or intricate modulation workflows, I still find myself reaching for Ableton. Logic is powerful, but definitely leans more toward traditional recording workflows.

Pros

Recording and comping in Logic Pro X is incredibly intuitive. The take folders and comping tools make it easy to get great vocal or instrumental takes quickly without breaking creative flow.

Cons

For production and beat-making, the workflow doesn’t quite match the speed and flexibility of Ableton. The UI, while clean, can feel a bit rigid if you're used to a more loop-based or experimental production environment.

I have used it for recording and mixing for several types of projects, including hip hop and rock. I also use it for quick demos, or getting ideas recorded quickly. It is VERY easy to use!

Pros

There are many good things about LPX, compared to other DAWs. A few are: 1. The cost - VERY affordable 2. All the awesome features! - the pitch correction abilities that are built in are worth the entire price of the software.

Cons

This is really picky, but the learning curve is rather high, due to the fact that the software has SO MUCH that I can do! There are so many features that I find some other websites helpful to learn ALL that the software can do.

Overall, I've utilized Logic Pro for a number of different applications. From live performance and audio routing, to tracking vocals and post-production. This software has met all expectations for my uses.

Pros

I love how intuitive the design of Logic Pro is. Though proficient at other DAWs, Logic Pro has been my preferred software over the last 14 years. With every update there are more features included that make the creation process and workflow a lot easier.

Cons

I can't really say that I have any dislikes regarding Logic Pro. If I had to highlight anything, it's probably how long it takes to download the additional sounds and content.
