![]() ![]() So I used MIDI to record my beginner level keyboard playing. For example I wanted a vocal recording from an amateur singer. Logic allows some pretty powerful and fast techniques. Logic is the easy choice if you are living in the Apple ecosystem because you can round trip FCPx audio through logic and Logic can open GarageBand projects directly. I think you find Logic works better for the case where you are making music with MIDI, synths and Apple loops and PT seems more popular with those using microphones on live musicians. If at some point I do money recording/mixing stuff, I'll probably grab a pro tools licence, but not for now. Pro tools is not as expensive as it used to be at 600$ and supports now any third party interface so no need to have their expensive hardware to run the rig. For the value, I think Logic X is hard to beat. I think there are lots of good daw on the market, any of the available choice that is popular is probably good enough. I need multi-track inputs recording since I record live band, so the free version is not for me. ![]() I only do ''acoustic'' recording, so pro-tools would probably be ''better'' for me, but I never worked with it. (reaper is only 60$ if you don't do that for a living, have a good community and is supposed to be super stable too.) ![]() Since I don't do that as a living and I am a broke ass musician, I will not go for any other platform, I don't have 500 USD to put on a recording software at the moment. Probably Logic X, cause it offers a lot for the money and it looks more polish than Reaper. When it doesn't work after an OS update, I'll decide which platform I will continue to work on. I still use Logic 9 and it does the job for my needs. I'm not biased towards ProTools, but it gets my work done very efficiently and at the end of the day, that's all I'm asking. ProTools otoh (I'm currently using 10.3.8, will upgrade to 11 very soon), has always been rock-solid. I would love to do all my work in DP but it's just not reliable enough. Yet, it is still a very, very "heavy" application (an interface that always seem, and feel, more and more sluggish as you add tracks, instruments, etc), that has proved to be not very stable in certain critical situations (AAF/OMF import/export to name one), at least in my case. I'm a film music composer/arranger, I have used Digital Performer for years and really love it, it has unique features and is, imo, still the most advanced for MIDI editing. But it gets the job done so much faster than the others it's not even funny. ProTools is not just a de facto standard "because every studio uses it" - they have perfected a workflow over the years that is really hard to beat. ![]()
