    A night at the opra!
    • Written by CC from Ottawa
    • Jul 23, 2009

    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
    • Jul 27, 2009

    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
    • Jul 31, 2009

    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.

    Skeptics need not apply!
    • Written by AL from Reno
    • Feb 3, 2012

    Don't be a skeptic, m-kay! Well, I've used this software extensively now, and I must say it is one of the DAW's that is ranking the highest of all DAW's I've ever used. Fantastic user interface and usability. I do however enjoy ProTools interface quite well and the fluid flow that comes with pt software. Logic, however, have outdone themselves with the amount of plug-ins and loops. No one comes close to the amount of options in Logic. Thank you Apple! …More

    Many reasons to use Logic 9
    • Written by MW from Bonner
    • Jan 19, 2012

    Been using Logic for years. Always the application preferred over the others. There are a few very minor shortcomings which need not be mentioned here, but for its intuitive and core abilities this program is absolutely rock solid. Have never, ever had a crash! That says volumes if you've ever had one (a crash) with one of those applications which are primarily written for the clunky operating system they call Windows, and then massaged to work on a Mac. Don't like that idea. Logic was initially written for the Mac and is strictly for the Mac. No confusion about it.

    That said, I wanted only to extol those virtues of Logic, that it does exactly with art and grace what it's supposed to do, and, just happens to include (even if you don't have use for all of them), a fabulous array of instruments, tools, loops and effects. A very complete, hardworking and professional digital audio application. By the way, for those who don't know it, Garage Band is Son of Logic, and not the other way around.     …More
