Projects wont open
serious bug on M1 macs where the project wont open but things like VST plugins will. I can even play the tracks by pressing space bar but the window itself is nowhere to be found. Other projects wont even open at all. Incredibly frustrating and there are a lot worse words i want to use here after spending this amount of money for something that barely works
Simple and Great
For a DAW it's easy to use compared to the others. The UI is clean and the virtual instruments are great.
No Brainer
Hands down the best bang for buck you can get in the DAW world. Great inteface to look at. Great amount of stock plugins that not only work well but sound well. I've used Pro Tools, Ableton and Studio One and for the money none of them come close to Logic.
Unresposive
This App Crashes or doesn't respond its a waste of time
Difficult to use and seems buggy
I have 20 years of experience with DAW software ranging from old versions of pro tools to Digital Performer. D.P. was my program of choice and probably still will be. I tried jumping to Logic with a new laptop purchase. Logic is difficult to use. The editing features are clunky and seem to just sort of pick their own idea about what you want to do. Some times the edit apllies to the file selected and sometimes it seems to apply itself ato all the files in a song. No rhyme or reason why, just frustration.... The mixing functions seem to have the same problem. Sometimes you can mute a section on a single track then the next thing you know it applies to all the tracks and you can't single out any of them. Garbage as far as I'm concerned with all the time wasted being angry and trying to fight software. and not making music. Update to this review. 9/22/22 Months later and I'm still having issues with this program. It seems to randomly decide to change inputs and outputs when files are saved as well as just suddenly and randonmly group tracks together for no reason. . Today I used it to record drum tracks when all of a sudden it just changed all of the outputs and they can not be changed back. This is a broken program !! Stay away. You will end up frustrated and angry.
Search Bar for Plugins
Great program for professionals is absolutely fantastic. A little detail would make Logic even better. This is the ability to search for plugins in the search bar, that is, create such a search box right next to the list of plugins when you open plugins on the track
Superb VSTs and usability
I have been a hobbyist digital composer for a few years. I started on Sibelius but quickly ran into limitations of the software and switched to Reaper. Reaper is good, don't get me wrong, but something about Logic Pro just clicks with me where nothing before it ever had. I actually thought I forgot how to write music for 3 years but when I picked up the Logic Pro Trial I was able to craft incredible tracks once more. If you make music, you need Logic.
Unusable
It must have done an update and now it won't scan the audio units and is basically a $200 piece of junk. Looks like others are having issues and no developer responses.
total cost
Had the trial for 90 days was an awesome expirience. I ended buying Logic after my great usage of the trial. I am also only 16 yearls so I only had $206 in my account. Apple shows this as being $199.99. It ended up being $216 so I over did my account. All is ok though my mom isn't mad. Love logic.
No longer supports OMF and crashes
I'm a professional video editor and audio mixer who's used Logic for years and have loved it. But now I go to import an OMF file and Logic greys out the file and won't open it. I tried exporting Final Cut XML from Adobe Premiere but that crashes Logic when I try to import it. With these massive downgrades, Logic has gone from a professional grade DAW to no more worthwhile than GarageBand. If Apple isn't going to fix this, then I want a refund. What I purchased was a professional DAW, and that's no longer what Logic is.
