![]() ![]() Logic's Drummer might be one of my favourite features in Logic, a virtual session drummer/percussionist. For example, a loop is not just one Region, it can contain multiple Regions and you can edit those Regions inside the loop and apply automation and other editing features. Logic didn't just copy that feature from Ableton they came up with an excellent user interface and extremely powerful tools. Many users who like that workflow now have this option without switching back and forth or buying Ableton Live. This integrated the loop-based workflow of Ableton Live directly into Logic. 3 - Breathing "Live" Into LogicĪnother big addition to Logic's capability as a DAW was the introduction of "Live Loops" in 2020. With its large user base, Logic is the first DAW in the music production field that now provides this capability. Two other DAWs, Nuendo and DaVinci Resolve, also have the Dolby Atmos integration, but they are more post-production tools. Without the need for any additional software, Logic users can produce a Dolby Atmos mix and export a Dolby Atmos Master File that they can directly submit to their aggregator like DistroKid or AvidPlay to get it on the music streaming services. The big new feature in the recent Logic Pro update 10.7 is Dolby Atmos which now is fully integrated into Logic. Gerhard Lengeling and Chris Adam, are still working for Apple as head of the Logic team along with many of the original members. The original Logic software was made by the German company Emagic that Apple acquired in 2002. So, they will get your money eventually.īesides the money aspect, the critical part of a software company is the developers, the masterminds who create those incredible tools. Of course, Apple is not in the charity business, and they have their little tricks of requiring recent hardware to run the latest Logic update. Not only did that price not change since then, all the updates over the last eight years (and they were quite substantial) were free. When the new version "Logic Pro X" was released in 2013, it had a sticker price of $199. They have the luxury of producing that software without the need to recoup their R&D cost. Logic Pro has the significant advantage that it is from Apple, a company with deep pockets. Maybe the next software update will provide you with that long-awaited improvement.ġ - The Advantage Of A $2 Trillion Company Even if you really really want a specific feature not available in your current DAW, always evaluate if it is worth re-learning a new DAW. ![]() All DAWs are very complex software applications, and Logic is no exception. If you are currently using a different DAW, I don't want to convince you to switch. If you are already using Logic, you might know what I'm talking about or want to look into it. In this article, I want to look at eight of the main advantages of Logic Pro but also some of its shortcomings. Someone working on post- production of the latest Marvel superhero movie has different needs than someone creating beats in their bedroom. ![]() Of course, there are differences between DAWs, and that is where you have to find out which one suits your personal preference and has the feature set that you need for your line of work. If someone can't produce professional results with any of the DAWs, then the problem is most likely the person operating the DAW. People don't seem to understand that all the DAWs are nowadays fully professional tools. A big portion of the Internet is filled with pointless discussions about which DAW is the best. The Grass is Not Greener On The Other Sideīefore we start, let's be clear about one thing. Since 2013, I have written 17 books for Logic in my best-selling book series "Graphically Enhanced Manuals" series that Apple endorses. Of course, I use other DAWs that complemented Logic Pro for specific film composer tasks, such as Reason, Ableton Live, and Pro Tools. I started my DAW journey in the mid-80s with Steinberg's Pro16 on a Commodore64 and was a Cubase user until 2004 when I switched to Logic Pro 7 as my main DAW (and never looked back). Unlike many Logic users who started with Logic version 1.0, I am a late convert. And that could be the end of the article unless we look into a few interesting details. The answer to the first part of the question would be " it depends" and the second part would be " definitely yes". In this article Edgar Rothermich answers the question by considering what logic does so well and where it drops the ball. ![]()
