Logic Studio 9 Vs. Ableton 8 Oct 26, 2009
By Bernie Willis
I use to use Logic Pro back in the day of Atari Falcon and STE1080. then i went to PC and used Logic 4.7. Though i never used the audio with it back then due to the instability of the product. It was easier to use a Mackie HDR 24/96 with midi clock to sync.
Before obtaining Logic Studio i was using Ableton Live versions 5,6,7 and now 8. The reason i bring this up is that i am now back to Logic Studio Pro on a MacPro 8 Core. The major reason for this change back to Logic was for 3 main reasons that blow away Ableton 8:
* Midi control for external and internal instruments
* Clean, Tight, Dynamic Headroom, clarity of sound. Audio Engine is far better then Ableton even at 44.1 (though i use 96k)
* for the price and what you get, this software is incredible!
The new features of Logic Studio 9 is the Flex and Guitar suite. Though i have not been impressed with the flex (perhaps because i am not sure how to use it correctly yet) the Guitar suite is AMAZING. I have owned a Line 6 pro and a Line 6 bass pro and this Guitar Suite is amazing if you run it under 96k.
The Logic Pedal board has a great slew of guitar stomp pedals that sound amazing and better then most other emulations i have heard. the distortions are warm and tube like, unlike more software emulations i have heard. it rips just right even with a guitar straight into the A/D and processed by Logic. They have a Tape Delay that emulates the Roland 201 tape echo or EHX Memory Man Deluxe and it sounds sweet and mixes very well.
The automation features are tight and crisp as well. Though it takes a bit more time to get setup on Logic for controller setup then Ableton, it is tight once you get it there.
User friendliness is not as good as Ableton but then you are getting a more PRO engine then Ableton has thus been able to deliver. In Ableton it seems the 'warp marker' technology seems to 'fuzzy' then audio in such a degree that the clarity is not tight. the dynamic headroom and stereo separation is not there. I was wondering if i was loosing my mind, but it is not the A/D Presonus firepod it was the engine of the Ableton 8. Once on Logic Studio 9, the clarity and tightness of the mix returned. This proving this engine is far superior to Ableton for a studio mix.
NOTE: if you can handle the disk space and processing power required to run 96k, do it. It will tighten your mixes amazingly.
Should you buy this? here is my suggestion:
If you run a Mac it is worth the cost. for what you get for such a pro engine and features and plug-ins this blows away the competition. At now version 9.0.2, the system on Snow Leopard is stable. very stable. It runs cleaner and crisp on snow leopard with the 64bit processing. It utilizes all the cores effectively as well. With the new imac @ 4 cores, it really could be a mini pro monster for recording.
If you own a PC, you can't use Logic, so you have to consider Sonar, Cubase, Ableton, ProTools.
I have not tried protools due to the cost of upgrades and truly to use it as tight as the industry standard, it takes a year for upgrades to happen after a new OS and the cost is outrageous compared to Logic.
I have not tried Sonar. I have used Cubase. the engine is clean though cumbersome to use.
Hope this is helpful.

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT Sep 03, 2009
By Marco Vidor
After over 5 years struggling with previous setup (PC, Windows, Cubase, MOTU 2408, Tascam DM-24), spending countless hours just setting everything up over, and over, and over, I decided it was time to take the plunge and go 100% mac. I couldn't be happier. MacPro, Euphonix, Logic Studio, MOTU 2408, Tascam DM-24 works so well together.
Logic as an application is extremely intuitive and moving from Cubase there is still a lot to learn, there are so many features.
The best part of it all is that i can finally focus on the music.
If you're thinking about it, go for it. it's worth every penny.

Much Better Than The Rest Aug 16, 2009
By Shlomo Vaknin
I'm still an amateur music maker, although I sold a few compositions. I have given a chance to every single software out there (the famous ones, at least) including Cubase, Pro Tools, etc.
Using a new Macbook, Logic Studio 9 is, without a doubt, the most user-friendly and powerful music-making software out there.
Unlike other programs, almost everything you think about doing is built-in to be used intuitively in the program. Much like all of Apple's programs, what you use the most you have immediately available. Keyboard shortcuts are available for all the common tasks, and the program is extremely fast.
The user's manual is simple enough, yet covers quite a lot of ground.
I'm not using a midi keyboard, but I do record my electric guitar on Logic, and the result is always amazing. There are a lot of plug-ins and a variety of instruments, no need to purchase anything else to make great music that sounds (and is) professional.
The addition of guitar chords to the Score is genius - I can't thank Apple enough for not ignoring our requests. Also, the new feature that allows you to "build" your own amp is one I spend a lot of hours with; you get to have 1,000's of mix-and-match's you can do, just a few clicks away.
Get this program and you'll never look elsewhere.

Vast collection of instruments and music tools, one of which is a sequencer Aug 26, 2009
By J. mcnalley
Logic is a vast software package. The product details at Amazon and Apple only cover the surface details of the biggest and newest features. It can take weeks to discover all of the features and plugins, much less learn them. Fortunately, Logic is not just a collection of parts but a well-integrated whole. MIDI and audio can be manipulated seamlessly. Logic instruments, GarageBand instruments and 3rd party Audio Units all integrate effortlessly into the logic system. You even get a separate multitrack audio editing application - SoundTrack.
If you are creating music on a Macintosh, Logic is worth a very close look.
Included instruments:
* ES E - Simple 8-voice subtractive synthesizer
* ES M - Minimal monophonic subtractive bass synth
* ES P - Another 8-voice subtractive synth with more parameters than the ES E
* ES1 - Advanced subtractive synth
* ES2 - Logic's most sophisticated subtractive synth, includes 100 digital waveforms
* EFM1 - 16-voice FM synthesizer
* EVB3 - B3 organ with support for two keyboards and a pedalboard
* EVD6 - Hohner Clavinet D6 emulator
* EVP88 - Electric piano - Wurlitzer, Rhodes, and Hohner Electra emulation
* EVOC 20 - Vocoder and polyphonic synthesizer
* EXS24 Mk II - Software sampler, can stream samples from disk
* Klopfgeist - Metronome
* Sculpture - String synthesizer
* Ultrabeat - Drum synth that can do virtual analog drums or sampled drums and also includes an x0x style grid sequencer. Sequences can be dragged into Logic midi tracks.
* GarageBand Instruments - GarageBand instruments also work in logic, and consume fewer CPU cycles than the more sophisticated Logic instruments
I find that the Logic synths look and sound great, but the user interfaces are much more flashy than useful. I strongly prefer Massive to the apple analog synths because it is much easier to work with. Ultrabeat is great, particularly the grid sequencer, but the instrument parameters can be confusing.
Included Effects - Read through the Logic Studio Effects PDF on Apple's documentation site for full details:
* Amps
* Pedalboard
* Delays
* Distortion
* Dynamics: Compressor, Limiter, expander, etc.
* Equalizers
* Filters
* Imaging
* Metering
* Modulation: Chorus, Ensemble, Flanger, Phaser, etc.
* Pitch: Pitch Correction, Shifter, Vocal Transformer
* Various ordinary reverbs
* Space Designer Convolution Reverb - allows you to record the impulse response of a physical space or hardware reverb and then apply it to your recordings. Google for "logic ir" or "convolution reverb" for more details.
Documentation:
Don't ignore the user's guide booklet, "Exploring Logic Pro". Although it doesn't go in to very much depth, following the first few chapters will get you up to speed with logic's conventions very quickly. When I first installed Logic, I was completely lost. After half an hour with the included guide I found it very easy to navigate around and begin to teach myself Logic. Once you are done with the Exploring book, google for "logic pro 9 user manual" to find the full manual in both PDF and HTML format. The PDFs render very nicely on the Kindle DX.
Installation:
Logic includes an incredible amount of additional content on DVDs. Since DVD drives are much better at sequential reads than random reads, you can save a LOT of time by ripping your Logic install media to Disk Images, and then install from those images.
Be sure to keep the installation guide in a safe place - your serial number is printed on the back.
I'll continue to update this review as I gain more experience with Logic.
One last thing - a lot of people have asked me why I chose Logic over other popular packages like Reason. It turns out that Immanuel Kant anticipated this question and wrote an entire book on the subject. Serious musicians should take the time to read through his careful analysis of the matter.

Excellent Upgrade Aug 10, 2009
By J. White
This is an excellent upgrade to a fine suite. Logic Pro and Mainstage have been updated. The software seems to work pretty well with only a couple of minor bugs noted. Apple is always proactive in fixing problems unlike other companies. My only complaint is that Apple no longer provides an extensive set of printed documentation as it did with the previous version.
