Michael Z.

Owner

“Also great tool for live performances,I am using it for years and it delivers the fastest sound processing experience in no time and minimal latency.2 work flows give the best overview of the song and option to try many different arrangements before recording the final one.”

Daria J.

Marketing Associate

“This DAW is great for all kinds of music production, especially great for electronic music making in which it excels at.”

Brett C.

Producer

Pros

“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.”

Zal M.

Program Manager

“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.”

Zal M.

Program Manager

“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.”

Daniel H.

Audio and Video Editing

Cons

“Now it is hard to find files that belong to the same project and if you export any loops to external drive Live won't find it and it appears as "file offline". ”

Daria J.

Marketing Associate

“the sampler i found not to be the quality sampler i expected or maybe im asking”

ALAN R.

producer

“How clunky and unappealing the user interface is.”

ayham k.

Electronic Music Producer

Cons

“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. ”

Daniel H.

Audio and Video Editing

“For instance, logic completely stopped working on my system, at least as far as the newest versions that include stem separation, due to the fact that my system is too old, however, my system is only from 2020.”
