"Logic Pro X actually makes sense!"

5/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

Where should I start? There are so many wonderful aspects to Logic Pro X! We use MIDI effect plug-ins for the keyboard instruments we use to record commercials at work! I like how Logic Pro X lets me work with plug-in settings, stored within the project file. They are automatically recalled the next time the project is opened! I like how I can work with channel strip settings, files specific to each channel strip types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

There's not much to dislike, although I actually dislike the limited distribution of Logic Pro X. Since macOS can only be run on Apple hardware, we cannot use Logic Pro X on our more advanced PCs. This means that we have to settle for less power, meaning we have to use busses to route our music channels, rather than copying and pasting tracks. And even so, our CPUs clock-out, which stinks, because we have advanced hardware that we aren't allowed to use with this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logic Pro X:

When using Logic Pro X, I recommend to read the Logic Pro X manual. It is free on the iBooks store, and you can even read it on your iPad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Logic Pro X solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Logic Pro X, we are creating commercials for our business! With Pro Tools, we were not able to use MIDI functions as well. With Digital Performer, we were able to use MIDI functions, but DP had too much of a classical-oriented mindset. Logic combines both worlds in the perfect software that meets our music-production needs for our commercials. And Logic Pro X is only $199, while DP and Pro Tools are 3 to 4 times the cost. So we are saving money too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Everything you need in a DAW"

5/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

I'm a mac user, always have been, so naturally this is what I started with back in the day (Logic 7). Easy to use once you "get it". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

There's definitely a learning curve to this software. Not the MOST intuitive but not bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logic Pro X:

If you are a mac user- use it over Ableton, it's much more intuitive. Can't speak highly about mainstage (live music software integration). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Logic Pro X solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not needing as many AU plug ins. Logic comes packed with pretty useful plug ins now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Logic Pro Does the Job"

5/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

Ease of use with a clean interface. I also love the way it syncs with media on my Apple computer. The integration of photos and music safes me time. It is very intuitive the way it is laid out. It is also very cheap considering all that it can do. There are not many software editors that are better. This is the gold standard of professional audio editing software. If it is good enough for Hollywood movies - it will be good enough for your project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

Setting up routing on the channels for effects, inserts, etc seemed needlessly complicated. Also, media management is not as simple as it could be. When working with multiple drives, it gets confusing. Trying to find where the raw files are located is harder than it should be. Whenever editing audio there is always a lot of hard drive space needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logic Pro X:

You can not beat the price for this product. It does almost all the things that much more expensive sound editing programs can do. It has a very clean layout and is easy to understand without digging into the manual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Logic Pro X solving and how is that benefiting you?

Logic Pro is a great music/audio editor. You can not beat the price on this software considering all that it does. It is a simple solution for editing all of your audio. This program, combined with Final Cut Pro will give you great sounding and looking videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A superior audio workstation for advanced sound editing and music production"

4/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

I like the vast amount of controls and effects panels that come standard with the Logic install. I also like that I can add countless plugins that can help me to fine tune the sound I'm trying to create. When we need background music for business videos, I can use many of the available loops to layer together a quick and effective track that can suit just about any video. Logic works very smoothly on my Mac and can generate WAV and MP3 files relatively fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

The price for Logic Pro X is rather high compared to some other similar music software. Also, I don't like I can only use Logic on my Mac. There are times when I'd prefer to use my Windows PC or be able to transfer my projects over to a Windows-compatible program. The learning curve for using Logic can be quite high. It too me over three months just to get a hang of the basic controls. I don't think there are enough useful presets available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logic Pro X:

If you are new to sound editing, you may want to try out Apple's GarageBand first. The user interface and control are similar to Logic and the price is much less. Once you get a hang of the over functionality, you can upgrade to Logic Pro X if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Logic Pro X solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Logic Pro X to create background music for business videos and social media clips. I also use it to clean up general audio. The mastering tools in Logic allow me to remove excessive background noise and boost the overall sound quality with more robust speaking voices. Logic's chain settings allow me to set up specific effects in a certain order so that I can apply them later to similar sound tracks. That has really helped to save time with processing new tracks.

"Far exceeds the capabilities of its competitors (Pro Tools, Ableton Etc)"

5/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

Logic is and has always been superior to Pro Tools, the other industry standard, when it comes to MIDI sequencing with virtual instruments. The workflow is far easier; piano roll is a breeze to use. Even the native virtual instruments such as the EXS24 synthesizer are excellent, though I prefer third party plugins for my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

This is truly a difficult one. I think if I had to split hairs I would have to aim my criticism at the resource intensive nature of the software. Compared to most other DAWs, Logic requires quite a bit of free RAM to operate smoothly, and I have had a handful of devastating crashes where all of my work had been lost because I was running too many other programs at once.

"Amazing Sound Engineering System"

5/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

I love the ease of use that Logic has adapted to and updated throughout the years. Logic is the first Audio Engineering software learned to mix on. I love the midi channels that are built into the system to use as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

I think there could be a better way to edit video audio files like in ProTools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Commercial Soundtrack Composer"

5/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

Logic Pro X is everything I need as a professional soundtrack composer.

It's the absolute best DAW I have worked with, and is very user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

There is a major issue with GPU use. Even with a high-end mac with over 12 GB of RAM, you will experience overloads quite often on larger projects. This isn't the end of the world, but it definitely slows down your workflow in a very negative way. If this problem were fixed, I would consider it a flawless DAW. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logic Pro X:

Expect the GPU overload issue to put a slight hindrance on your workflow, if you plan on having projects with over 25 instruments and or/audio tracks.

Other than that, Logic is a phenomenal DAW. I'd highly recommend switching to it. You don't even need tutorials. It's incredibly easy to pick up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Logic Pro X solving and how is that benefiting you?

Logic allows me to compose and produce triple-A, fully orchestral film and video soundtracks in a timely, cost-effective manner. I've never had a client be disappointed with my work in the DAW. Most people cannot tell the difference between my work, and something recorded in a large studio with a live orchestra. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive review of Logic Pro X."

5/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

Logic Pro X has pros and cons. In my opinion, the pros make up for all the cons. Logic Pro is a powerful DAW, used by music producers, film composers, freelance producers, audio engineers, podcasters: The list really goes on. During my five year experience in music production, I can confidently say that up to now, Logic Pro has been the most comprehensive, efficient and powerful DAW I have used. After switching from FL Studio as my main daw for all production work, I realized logic pro has a lot more to offer me. My workflow in logic continues to improve every time I use it.

Logic Pro is great for all levels of skill, from beginners to veterans. Apple gives its computer users an exclusive software only available in Mac OS. The software can do anything you think of. Tracking vocals is made easy and efficient. Live tracking and plugin integration is flawless. Low latency in the software and very responsive. The list of things I enjoy about this software is infinite. Logic pro has had a solid reputation for its most recent software updates. Its a software that has been made with care and the producer in mind. Developers of this software have really thought of how to make this tool as comfortable and useful as possible. Everything you need to do anything audio related can be done in this software.

The two things I like best in this software follow.

1 - The number of quality stock plugins, filter patches, virtual instruments, and sounds is more than satisfactory. As a professional producer and engineer, I use stock tools very often while using this software. Its a gift that keeps on giving and every sound can be tweaked to your liking.

2 - Logic pro is a very fluid and straightforward software. The more you use it and the more you adapt, the quicker your workflow will be. Keyboard shortcuts are essential in an impressive workflow for this software. Take the time to learn more about your software and all of its functions and tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

As stated, this program does come with its disappointments and cons. To my surprise, the software lacks some of the most basic functions present in other software. For example, placing drums with stock plugins can be very painful. Drums can be done by placing samples directly on the arranger and mixing from there, or with the stock plugin named "DrumSynth". Although the plugin DrumSynth can execute with patience and concentration, It is not at easy and inspiring as it should be. I have been forced to use other drum plugins as a result of my terrible experience with DrumSynth. Its just boring, ugly, and in reality should be better.

Making an effective and integrated drum machine is very important to software, especially now that most pop music utilized synthesized or sampled drums.In this case, if someone working primarily on hip-hop beats and electronic drums were to ask me to recommend a software, I would not recommend logic pro: Due to its lack of stock capabilities to make drum arrangements easier and painless.

Recommendations to others considering Logic Pro X:

If you are interested in beginner to advanced production software that will do everything you need it to do, logic pro is for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Logic Pro X solving and how is that benefiting you?

If your business is in the Apple ecosystem already, logic pro and apple OS offer flawless integration with one another. Sharing files efficiently and working as a team on many different projects can be made painless with the advantages of Apple OS. Mac os is already very popular in recording studios and the music industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
