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

Pros

“I love the Ai features where I can create short clips and remove filler words!I also love how it also give me suggested clips to post on social media, show notes and a script for when I'm recording.”

Eryn L.

Owner and Creator

“I use this service for my weekly webinars, my workshops, my masterminds with clients and this service works phenomenally for all uses.”

Jennifer B.

Consultant

“You get all the different magic studio features that are just insurmountable and I'm even waiting for my show to grow in a way to where we can utilize the feature where someone is just in there and is actually just playing the producer role controlling the camera, switching the media doing that sort of thing.”

Donovan H.

Owner

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.”

Leah G.

Auto Detailer

“The updates and layout changes are anoying.”

Daniel M.

Sound design

Cons

“The main issue I experienced was that today’s recording became a little choppy in the middle of an episode, which interrupted the flow of the conversation. While the platform has generally worked well for me overall, moments like that can be frustrating when you’re trying to maintain a natural discussion or record professional-quality content.”

Warda b.

Marketing Manager

“While on a live stream, every time someone leaves a new comment in the public chat, it resets all the way to the bottom. If you’re trying to show comments on the screen during the live stream, this can be very annoying.”

Eric C.

Lead Investigator

“I am using iphones and i do not have the ability to zoom my video recording also maybe i a beginner i found the web based editing to be extremely hard”
