It even includes a loudness meter, a linear phase eq and a true peak limiter, several compressors, effects, amps and cabs, a complete library of loops and much more. Logic offers, by far, the best bang for the buck of the two, for its complete package of virtual instruments and plugins. If you don't know any software, the learning curve will be the same regardless of which one you pick, so you have an open book in front of you. I work with Logic X and PT 12 everyday and I use them for different tasks. Logic does not offer a demo, but it is great. PT has the First version, thought this is pretty useless. That's not to say Logic isn't equally straightforward to somebody - but not to me! Even the people who are just taking the class as a requirement and are not particularly interested in music or sound seem to have no trouble understanding the basic workflows and paradigms. I feel that PT is very 'straightforward', despite its sometimes intimidating reputation. I teach audio production classes and we use Pro Tools in those courses. I engineered for a guy who used Abelton - it kind of blew my mind, the mixer was a mixer but the rest of it was nothing like a tape deck. Pro Tools seems easy to me because the metaphor is a tape deck and a console. But of course he feels the same way about PT. When he showed me "how" my response was anger: "that's ridiculous". One time left alone with Logic for a half an hour, I was unable to do the simplest things on it until my friend returned. Each of us can watch the other person work, and we say: "how can you STAND working like that? It makes no sense, etc etc" I use Pro Tools, a friend of mine uses Logic. I would say that someone who does not have a DAW yet, posing the question as "Logic vs Pro Tools" not only leaves out a whole bunch of perfectly good alternatives, it manages to pick two programs that - in my opinion at least - are among the "most different from each other". There are demo version of most programs and endless videos and tutorials so you can get an idea of the things that make the most sense to you. It can help your learning if there is something about it that "fits" your own mental processes. The same action may be performed in another DAW by "grabbing" that clip in a certain place - a 'handle' if you will. For example in one DAW an action may be performed on an audio clip by applying a "tool" to your mouse and clicking anywhere in that clip. Not just the aggregation of menus, GUIs and shortcuts, different DAWs approach different tasks in different ways. Now, everything is pretty much the same more or less and all sound the same.While I agree no best "sounding" DAW and agree that most modern DAWs can accomplish any necessary task, there is one thing that is not The Same across all DAWs and that is the 'metaphors' it uses.
LOGIC VS PRO TOOLS PC
TDM etc was very good ten years ago when even a good pc would struggle to run 40 tracks of audio, it suddenly allowed you to work in the wonderous way that digital audio promised.A decade ago, there were a lot of arguments and discussions about what DAW's sounded the best and presented better features. Personally, unless you are wanting a very high end, no expense spared studio there isnt allot of need for a protools system.
LOGIC VS PRO TOOLS FULL
it isnt a program that runs with a soundcard, it IS the soundcard as well! its a full system where the protools hardware takes allot of the brunt of processing as well, meaning its reliable and can get great performance out of a normal pc.Ī FULL protools system also has a fully automated mixer as well, once again, its not a program connected to a soundcard to a mixer, protools IS the mixer as well! and the software and hardware link seamlessly, you open a project in protools and your mixer immediatly sets itself to the correct settings etc. The reason to buy protools, if you really want the benefits of their system, is that it is a fully integrated hardware and software package. PT and Cuabse are pretty different, but in terms of what-they-do-for-you they are fairly similar! Cubase is purely software, it runs with pretty much any soundcard and does all the work through your computers cpu. Protools started life as a digital audio workstation, with no MIDI, later on they added midi support and it too became proficient in both. Later on audio support was added and over time it came to be pretty damn good at that too.

Click to expand.Yeah, Cubase started out as just that, a sequencer for sequencing MIDI data.
