what the difference between express and logic studio
- Asked by EC from Manhattan
- Oct 9, 2009
Best Answer
Upfront, Logic Express does not include Main Stage (a program that allows one to preform live), soundtrack pro (a film mixing program (although, Express has some film mixing features) and compressor (to export your creations).
Logic Studio is equipped with the entire sound library (all jam packs, endless sound loops), more synth presents.
Logic Studio gives you the ability to sculpt synthesizers and other sounds, and allows audio rendering.
Logic Express allows stereo editing, Logic Studio allows surround sound mixing.
However, the program interface is nearly identical in both programs, and serves the same purposes. So it depends if you need all the added features. Both programs support endless audio plugins with audio units, etc. …More- Answered by AJ from Rathdrum

Using Garage Band there is an annoying delay in sound output to an amplifier. Does this same problem exist with Logic Express 9?
- Asked by AK from Pittsford
- Oct 14, 2009
Answer
Make sure that you set your preferences for the smallest possible buffer size. Do this by selecting the "Minimum delay when playing instruments live" radio button in preferences under the "audio/midi" heading. If this doesn't solve your problem, try quitting other open applications to maximize processor usage to Garageband.
I've been using both Logic and Garageband for performing and with the latency settings adjusted to the smallest buffer size, I get no appreciable delay. Logic is the more efficient tool though in that respect. …More- Answered by ET from Sierra Vista
