All-round hero?

Of course, there’s no accounting for taste or personal preference. It could be that you’re drawn to your current DAW because of the way it looks, or because your other producer friends use it or because you’ve never had a chance to try out of one its rivals. But irrespective of the musical styles you favour, Logic Pro X probably packs more of a punch than any other DAW. You’re a beats producer? Step Sequencing, Drum Machine Designer, two inbuilt samplers for sound shaping, another dedicated native drum machine and the Drummer instrument provide masses of ammunition to sculpt grooves.

ALL IN

You’re a songwriter? More native, great-sounding plugins than any other DAW, gigabytes of drag-and-drop Apple Loops to build a vibe in the studio quickly and arranging tools to let you build the shape of your song with just a few button clicks. You’re a media composer? Movie import and easy sync-topicture tools, as well as advanced mixer routing and template creation to ensure the sounds you need are under your fingers in seconds. You’re a producer or mix engineer? Logic’s plugins offer extensive tone, dynamics and space-designing tools to craft and shape productions in any genre.

LOOP THE LOOP

And in recent years, Logic’s workflow has expanded to allow Live Loops, inspired by Ableton, to let you build tracks in a non-linear way, to allow you to explore combinations of sounds, patterns and track sections, even throwing in some useful real-time trackmangling effects for good measure, meaning you could even DJ with this software. No matter what music you make, Logic really does have you covered.
