so far for me logic has been amazing and smooth, apart from a common error: CPU overload. You have to limit the amount of things going on to please my G4 mac.
i never used garage band because i soon discovered that i couldn't get the big drum sounds i need for my music with it. well let me tell you, there is no shortage of bangin' drum sounds on logic 8. drum sounds are basic to electronica, if you haven't got that then everything else is pretty much wasted.
Apple Logic Studio The Logic Pro Studio is Great I got going right away but I did have to upgrade my hard drive since a program this size 49 gig of hard drive space needs more than the standard 160 gig hard drive that comes with the MacBook Pro.
1. 32bit logic does not have enough internal memory to run even fairly modest 3rd party libraries/plug-ins. 2.
I've used Cubase for many years for my personal production and ProTools whenever I'm in the the studio. I purchased Logic Studio for 3 reasons.
I got an Intel iMac in 2007, and I used Garageband for about 6 months. Compared to FL Studio on the PC, I found it much easier to use, and I quickly fell in love with it. Lately, though, I have been thriving for something a little more complex and feature rich.
Logic is so big that trying to describe it in a review, or to cover its feature set would be impossible. Simply put if you use a Mac and want to record or mix audio then you have got a complete solution in one box.
After playing around with this for a couple of days, I have come to a conclusion. This is the greatest software ever made. I used to use Reason in the past, and it is a poor substitute for Logic. If you want professional software, this is your best bet.
And then there's Sonar, Audacity, Ableton, Digital performer...and there are even more opinions floating around as to which one is the "best." The truth of it is that every DAW has it's strengths and weaknesses, and knowing what YOU need to do with your setup is vital to picking the right software. Here's why I've chosen Logic. Logic Studio has literally changed the way that I make music.
This is the most solid music software I've ever used - it barely moves my CPU meter with heavy plug-in's instantiated on 15 tracks (w/ 4 gigs of ram) - and it's tremendously stable; I've been using it for 8 hour sessions w/ Rewire for months and have had no problems. However, I also installed on a G5 and it simply wasn't coded for PPC processors (it's obvious it was an afterthought). Apple probably saw no reason to dedicate engineering resources to a fully stable port of Logic for PPC - as most pro users end up upgrading hardware anyway (and it's incidental incentive to drive their hardware business). If you're considering the upgrade to Intel Macs - this program is such a steal that it might be worth it.
