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.

My overall experience has been amazing. After using Pro Tools, Ableton, Cakewalk, and other DAW's from time to time, Logic has become my favorite and most used recording software for producing, mixing, and more. The most reliable and easiest as well!

Pros

Logic was incredibly intuitive to learn and understand. The basic features cover most things anyone would need but the advanced features can reach so much further without being overbearing. The look of it allows you to find the basic features while ignoring the more advanced ones until you need them. Midi capabilities are incredible and easier to use than Pro Tools by far. It also very rarely has any problems with linking audio files to sessions that other DAW's tend to have from time to time. Just as smooth experience that allows you to record, produce, and write without worry or a huge learning curve!

Cons

I think my least favorite feature is the comping. It's definitely not bad, but the way you can comp takes in Pro Tools is smoother and allows you to save multiple versions to compare where with Logic that's much more complex, although achievable.

Switched from

[Pro Tools](https://www.capterra.com/p/214607/Pro-Tools/)

More of my clients and collaborators were using Logic than Pro Tools and the workflow with programmed music using midi is much better.

It is wonderful that has amazing Samples Sounds for different basic instruments as Piano, Keyboards, Winds, Brass, Strings, Guitars. It is very easy to start to create song from zero thanks to this graphic experience that helps a lot users that were already using something similar as Mainstage (Live music) or Garage Band (simply recording software for beginners)

Pros

It's simply the best for a Mac user only

Cons

It Is limited only to this Operating System
