Logic Pro X Pricing

The clarity of the routine modern DAW workflows is present in Logic Pro X, combine that with the ease of doing modern pitch & time related tasks (to percussion/drums and melodic material) make Logic comparable to the other major DAWs. There's enough clarity in terms of workflow and the toolsets exposed in the User Interface that novice and experienced users alike can spend their entire time working in Logic without ever having to 'dig under the hood' if they don't want to. This is a testimony to what has happened to Logic under Apple's ownership. for there was a time that you HAD to understand the underpinnings of Logic, its conventions and workflow. and the Environment, to even accomplish the most basic of tasks (as even getting audio & midi working together would be a challenge otherwise). Those days are LONG behind now, and Logic is not just a fully fledged DAW to compete with the other main ones on the market, it also absolutely stands on its own as a tried & true tool for modern audio production. From traditional multitrack recording, to combining session workflows with loop & virtual instrument content, to creating entirely electronically generated/produced content, Logic can do it all.

And it still has its Logic/Notator underpinnings for the power users who have been here for years like myself. Yes, I still have outboard gear and use it in ways that goes beyond what the simple instrument definitions will ever achieve, so i use the environment. I also have linked window/multi-timeline view workflows and more key commands than will fit into a single (simple to use) key command set. In fact I understand how to generate Hyperdata sets, convert between object & track based automation (and vice versa) to use all of Logic's tools to their best advantage. The time I spend doing esoteric tasks gets less and less as the UI and overall workflow improves over the years, but I remain loyal to Logic for the power underneath its hood and thankful to Apple & the Emagic team for keeping true to its roots.

I will add that Logic Pro X's UI trends towards feeling a bit cramped on machines that don't have retina display resolutions, though thankfully retina is now fully supported across all the icludand while I personally welcome the darker look again, the overly large size of certain UI elements and Icons is a bit of a distraction. Thse are minor niggles however, and quickly go away to those who haven't been using 4.x or 5.x for over a decade (I have moved up with almost every version).

Never had a problem with this software. I'm not a power-user, only use it for recording from a live-sound setting, but I've always been impressed by the ease-of-use and the number of features it contains. I can easily EQ the file, export in various formats, and edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Price is a bit steep for the average user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
