"Great DAW for Mac Lovers"

4/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

Logic Pro is a great top-shelf Digital Audio Workstation that is perfect for those who have experience with the MAC OS or have a background using Garage Band. It has the ease of MAC applications and the flexibility to be as robust as DAW's like Pro Tools and FL Studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

There are certain features that other DAW's have built-in like visualizers and a larger bank of sounds and plugins. For the longest, a downside has been the lack of a trial to see if the workflow is a good fit, but they have now offered a trial version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logic Pro X:

Definitely check out the trial. This allows you to really get a feel for the application. The trick with Digital Audio Workstations is that there isn't a best one there is a best one for you. So seeing if LPX is a fit for your workflow is important before you make the $300 purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am able to make quality music on the fly. I really enjoy the ability to create soundtracks for the videos I produce. By importing the video I can easily ensure the music will be well-timed with the video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Convinced & Converted — Logic Pro X is the Best DAW"

5/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

Out of the box, It is the perfect blend between a creative tool for ground-up production and an absolute powerhouse for editing, mixing, and Mastering. The latest release now supports Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

Honestly, there are very few things I dislike about it. If I could request some improvements, it would be around selecting plugins when working on a project or session. Easy to get used to, but uncollapsing trees upon trees of plugins can be a little gesture heavy. The UI for everything else that comes stock is so well done that I feel like it wouldn't be out of scope for the LPX team to develop something more powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logic Pro X:

Yes, Protools is commonly mentioned as THE industry standard. This statement is more and more becoming a thing of the past. Many of the projects I am working with (other studios, engineers, producers, film, and other audio professionals) predominantly use Logic Pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The flexibility of the platform overall allows us to find and address problem areas quickly. Template flexibility allows for rapid session recall and maximum productivity. Compatibility with Garageband projects is a huge time saver when working with artist demos, as this is a commonly used tool for their process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful and intuitive for advanced sound design and music editing"

4/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

Logic just feels so good to use. Everything is laid out in a smooth way. I can find all the tools I use most often without struggling. The sound editing tools are extensive right out of the box. I don't need many, if any, software add-ons to complete my editing jobs with optimal results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

Since it is an advanced editing platform, some the editing actions can be complicated to execute. I wish there were more tools for compression and sound modifications. I prefer not to have a VST plugins work so similarly to the physical sound modules. I prefer more consistency across all VSTs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Industry standard for good reasons"

5/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

Logic is the only DAW I need to work on a variety of musical projects in an array of genres. It’s useful for working with audio, MIDI, writing to picture, or recording live sessions. I love the clean minimal UI where tools and handles are hidden until you hover over things. It’s fast, versatile and pretty reliable these days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

There are occasional bugs, but they are usually ironed out pretty quickly. Working to picture in Logic can be a bit unintuitive to start with due to how it handles tempo changes. Flex pitch can sometimes be a bit hit and miss, but I still find it incredibly useful when editing vocal lines. Also, the score editor is quite useless and hardly ever used. I need to use additional software to create and edit scores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logic Pro X:

Logic is a great all-round DAW that is essential for any recording musician with a Mac. Whilst Pro Tools remains industry standard for running studio sessions, Logic is ideal for those who use MIDI together with audio. It’s more of a composer/arranger’s tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Logic helps me create instrumental backing tracks with virtual instruments, record vocal demo tracks, produce mock-ups for film scores, and create click tracks for live theatre shows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Industry Standard: Powerful, Versatile and Efficient. Suitable for users of all backgrounds"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

Logic Pro X has a wonderfully intuitive and efficient workflow that is pleasant to work with at every stage, from recording and editing through to mixing and mastering. The DAW is suitable for users of all backgrounds and experience and able to be used for a wide range of projects from music production to ADR/Foley recording. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

Logic Pro X is exclusive to Mac so this can be a barrier or a deterrent for new users who may not already own a Mac. Users familiar/comfortable with Windows machines may find that its not worth it to purchase a Mac simply to be able to use Logic Pro X. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logic Pro X:

Check out online resources and videos not just on Logic Pro X but on a range of DAWs you're considering. Consider aspects including the interface, workflow and compatibility. Different DAWs favour different types of projects or different approaches. See the software in action through showcases, tutorials or reviews, think about which would best fit what you plan on doing now and in the future. Read articles about the DAWs available, think about whether your current software and hardware will work well with it, but also consider where you'd like to go in the future - is your career likely to require Logic Pro X and so being an experienced user a significant benefit, or does the industry you're in or want to be tend to use an alternative DAW? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Logic Pro X streamlines parts of the production process without compromising on functionality and versatility. A very flexible DAW suitable for a broad range of applications. Logic Pro X has several integrated/included tools to allow for a swift and convenient workflow and allow users to dive straight into what they want to do. The interface is comfortable to look at and work with and intuitively laid out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Logic Pro X for the win"

5/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

I've been using Logic and Pro Tools for almost 10 years now for my music editing needs. Logic has always had a more user-friendly interface and fantastic build-in and free plug-ins. While both apps allow you to edit and enhance your audio, as well as work on video projects, Logic, to me, has been far more intuitive. What's more is that I've never had to struggle with a dongle, which is a major drawback for me, especially when the dongle fails and I am unable to get into Pro Tools or access my plugins. Logic Pro X is just uncomplicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

I'm not sure this really applies to Logic as it does to the power of my computers. I've had to upgrade a lot of my hardware to make Logic Pro X work fluidly without popping up resource errors. It's been costly to put together a computer with enough processing power to handle the number of tracks I create and plugins I use. In saying that, Pro Tools was not much different. Fewer resource warnings, but still irritating when you're in the middle of a session and can't move forward without shutting down apps to reallocate processing power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logic Pro X:

No matter which Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) you use, there will be a learning curve. Don't purchase it with the idea that you're just going to dive right in with no experience. It took years for me to get a firm grasp on what Logic could do and I'm still learning as I go. YouTube tutorials are great, provided you know the terminology and understand exactly what you want from the DAW. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Efficiency and convenience. I compose music and create sound effects. Even just installing Logic and the audio packs gave me powerful tools and sounds to work with. I've installed a large number of plugins since then and Logic has never failed to run any of them seamlessly. I'm particularly fond of how the iZotope plugins integrate with Logic Pro X.

"Terrific Program For Producers, Novice to Intermediate"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

I enjoy being able to work with all kinds of genres easily. I produce music in a variety of styles and it's great to be able to use a program that has a robust audio track work-system, and an intuitive midi and sample-based sector. You can easily switch between production phases, from arrangement, to mixing, to mastering, with ease and all with a lovely looking and easily navigable interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

While Logic Pro X is a great program all-around, it could be better when it comes to sample-based music styles, such as all forms of electronic dance music. The program recently received a massive update, which serves as an overhaul of its sampler-system, switching out the old, ugly, and outdated EXS24 sampler for the shiny, new, and much more utilitarian quick-sampler and multi-sampler tools. The sampling capabilities in logic improved dramatically thereafter, but there is still room for improvement in this area, and it falls short in this aspect when compared with DAWs such as FL Studio and Ableton. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Logic Pro X:

If you're new to producing, Logic Pro X is a terrific program to learn the ropes of music production, and it's all-angles application in music production, podcast editing, and film sound editing makes it a very versatile tool for other kinds of creators as well. For the $200 price point it is also well-worth the money, and you get plenty of features that you'll be using for years after buying. Make good use of YouTube tutorials and other web-guides when you first start using the program, you will learn quickly. Also make an effort to use the program as often as possible, perhaps once a day if you can, in order to learn the program quickly and efficiently. Don't be afraid to hop into the program to mess around for a little while, try out different plugins, and mess around with melodies to get a feel for how everything works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

How best to utilize samples in the new multi-sampler tool. The new Logic update has significantly enhanced the experience, and I've been reaping the benefits of this especially. I'm also not incredibly satisfied with some of the stock plugins, so I've been trying out some third party ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-friendly interface that packs a punch"

5/5

What do you like best about Logic Pro X?

As a Mac user, the speed and efficiency of using a program like Logic is paramount for a variety of audio production endeavors. I was first interested in switching from a previous DAW because of the Inspector functionality in Logic Pro X, and utilizing it for midi orchestration. The more I dug into the software, the more I realized how fully optimized Logic is for full-blown studio production, and I’ll likely never go back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Logic Pro X?

I am nervous about upgrading my os because of rumors around Logic Pro X’s compatibility with the new update. Some kind of announcement from the company concerning compatibility would put my mind at ease before upgrading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Many audio editing faux pas I was guilty of before switching to Logic have now been rectified and my workflow is cleaner and more professional. Also, the ease of importing HD video for scoring to film has been a great benefit that once not too long ago I did not enjoy. I’m looking forward to learning more strategies and tips for using Logic that will enhance future projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
