Logic Studio
A night at the opra!
Written by CC from Ottawa

Where do I start, Logic is pure logic. What I mean is that the new new logic studio was incredibly well engineered, much less bugy than the previous version. Compatibility has been greatly increased and again, this new version manages better the resources of my system, meaning that it runs much faster. I really like the new features added in main stage, especially the multimapping of controls. What is most impressive is the price for which apple sells the product. Compared to other audio editing software, this one dominates the competition. Thanks apple. …More

Oh Yeah!!!!!!!
Written by WG from Clearwater

I have been recording for about 15+ years and was patiently awaiting for this version of Logic to arrive. I know apple has been scrambling to get closer to what digidesign's Pro-Tools can do and all I have to say is WOW!!! The upgrade install time was way fast; unlike waiting 4 hours for Logic Studio 8 to install. They've included everything you need to get a professional sounding song right out of the box and killed a lot of plug-in competitors along the way. The amp designer rivals that of Ik Multimedia's Amplitube series. The flex tool....WOW!!! No more scissor tool for this guy. Drum replacer....SICK!!! You don't even need third party plug-ins i.e. Drumtracker from Toontrack to get midi conversion of audio files. This is by far a warm welcome for me and did I mention you can easily... and I do mean easily import your channel strip settings from other projects? Don't hesitate and wait to get this if you are serious about recording. This is the hottest thing out right now and I can't imagine anything being better than this with out waiting another year or two. Pro-Tools 8 just plain stinks against Logic 9. Midi recording is superior in Logic and the sound libraries are HUGE!!! I will never step back to the dark side of Pro-Tools again. Way to go LOGIC 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! …More

Pro tools R I P
Written by RL from london

This is a massive leap forward for Logic. Yes the amp modelling is spectacular, yes the new editing facilities are great but what really makes the difference for me is the soundstage and stereo representation. The reverbs now really do their job, in fact all of the logic plug ins sound great on my rig and the potential of Logic 9 is scary once the full 64 bit OS comes into play.
I stood by Logic when everyone else was buying into Pro tools.
I feel like i just won the lottery.

Logic Studio
Everything I Need...And a LOT More
Written by RK from Seattle
Dec 10, 2009
I have been a performing musician for 30 years and owned a small demo studio in LA back in the 80's. In those days we had physical racks of MIDI-controlled synths, plugs, and mixers. I sunk $30K into my old studio and was able to get decent sounding demos cut using tape.
In the early 90's I got out of the recording business and only in 2007 did I decide to give it another try. I bought a 15" MacBook Pro laptop and started playing around with GarageBand 3 to "get my feet wet". I loved the ease of making music in GarageBand but found it to be somewhat limited. A friend of mine was using Logic Pro 7 and while I was amazed by the power of LP7, I found the GUI daunting.
I thought that if Logic was redesigned to have a GarageBand-like front end, I would take the plunge. I procrastinated long enough that Apple rolled out my "dream DAW" in LP8. Logic now had a GarageBand-like user friendly GUI, a price cut from $999 to $499, AND included all the Jam Packs. At this point it was a no-brainer.
Now after over 2 years of using Logic, I can say without hesitation that I have never used such diverse, high quality, and stable software in my life. My "day job" is SW engineering so I am well aware of how much goes into a complex program like Logic. The fact that it all plays together so well in such a user friendly way is a testament to the Apple/Emagic design team.
LP affords me to record crystal clear vocals and guitars (getting good Mic/PreAmp is essential) to an infinite number of drum tracks (either loops, UltraBeat creations, or pounding the rhythms in using a drum pad MIDI controller). Logic also has a HUGE array of synthesizers, guitar amps, and sound shaping/analysis plugs. For the type of music I do (solo singer/songwriter) I have more than enough sounds to embellish any style of music I plunge into.
And with Loops I can "sketch out" songs quickly while the inspiration is "fresh".
And once the recordings are complete the "fun" really starts with mixing and mastering the song into a "CD quality" production. Logic affords me to perform "micro-surgery" in both the Audio and MIDI domains. And the MIDI editing capabilities are even more powerful than my old Hybrid Arts SMPTE TRK Pro SW which in its day, was considered to be "state of the art" in MIDI software. It becomes very easy to experiment with different arrangements.
If you are on the fence about buying Logic, jump in. You will be glad you did and you can get on with what matters most...making music. …More16 of 17 people found this useful

It should be the same as Logic 8. I have Logic Studio on my Mac Pro and Macbook Pro and have run Logic on both at the same time with no problem. The license does state that you are allowed to install it on two machines (a desktop and laptop, both of which you own) but are to run it only on one machine at a time. …More

The most reasonable and civilized method I know of. You enter your serial number. Same as on Digital Performer, bless 'em all. Apple is to be commended on its rare stance in the music industry of not penalizing its legal purchasers with onerous, often iffy schemes. One more reason to consider Logic as a primary DAW. …More
