All user reviews of 4/5 for the Apple Logic Pro 9

Installation and easy configuration supports 32/64bit, I recommend a powerful mac and memory following machine secondly if good budget do not forget a powerful HD. The installation goes if you add all the sounds.
The manual is clear is French. Many forums aid.
In terms of configuration midday I would not do better, but with the "environment" is not really fun!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

After many maj the latest version is very stable, just a few easy to identify bugs and known in the community.
I use many plugins without too many problems.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since its launch, I also appreciate that I live less is more for the live I think.
Logic is a very good and comprehensive software.

I really appreciate being able to use the 5.1 because I have a full KRK 5.1.
Something some other DAW can not do, but of course less generally used more for movies. So be sure to check that you go with such music.

Installation is no problem but it is long since the amount of additional downloadable content

Setup is simple as long as we are experiencing a minimum and we will not hesitate to open the manual if necessary

With Version 9.1.8 running in 64-bit I have not experienced any incompatibility and with integrated tools 32-bit bridge work very well

The manual is quite provided contains good explanations and avoids a lot of questions on the forums as often the answers are there, if you can not find what we want in this case AF or Gearslutz become useful

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

My machine is a hackintosh mounted nov.2012 associated with the Roland Quad-Capture Card

16GB of ram, a ssd and i7 3770K are more than enough to run Logic, namely with the benchmark file EvanLogicMultiCoreBenchmark the cpu overload is reached to 111 tracks, this is an indicator that enables a sort through the efficient processors nothing more

It is also installed on my mac mini server 2011 Quad i7 2GHz 8GB of RAM and up to 60 tracks no problem with the same file for the benchmark

The software runs on the configuration and stability is to visit and truly deserves its Roland AF Award safe bet!

OVERALL OPINION

Since December 2012, but I had already had the opportunity to make use of Logic Express in 2010

My sequencer of choice is Reason since version 4, as bcp people here I tested some sequencers but it is Reason that suits me best

The goal was to improve with Logic as the mixing with Reason 4 and 5 it was really light side there. Logic with the possibilities are interesting but lack some aspects such as the ability to move tracks in the mixer. One can only color the label the name of the slice and the slice not complete which is a shame because it helps identify areas more quickly especially if they are grouped

The rewire with Reason 4 and 5 works very well with this version of Logic.

The interface is slightly perfectible as across the interface where sometimes look for in a submenu a simple function

There are old bugs lurking here and there, such as in the piano roll that when we created the first note you must scroll the mouse to return it because it changes octave alone (graphic bug)

Overall this is a good sequencer to compose and mix it to suit beginners to learning a complete product as advanced users and professionals, including some well-known use every day. The samples and loops are provided with a little obsolete now especially on electro but nothing prevents to create their own sounds or to obtain more current sound banks

The tools provided are legion and offer endless creative possibilities if you take the time to dig out as bcp STAN elsewhere. For example, do not hesitate to stack multiple ESX24 in a track summation to obtain a sound that disconnects. The effects are effective and can get quite a mix ready for mastering. The product is certainly questionable but what sequencer is not?

I know better bcp Logic and Reason that can only give an opinion "more detailed" € 149.99 but I still assigns an overall rating of 9/10 well deserved despite his imperfections and especially when compared to its price direct competitors completely unrealistic!

RAS to install, a bit long as it all sounds are also provided
I have not traveled in the documentation because I bought a book teaching to better control the software.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Mac Pro early 2009, 6GB of Ram and 2 TB of disk space spread over 4 bays.

Stability is the rendezvous, undoubtedly, fluid and fast despite using a lot of plugins included and others like the UAD.

OVERALL OPINION

For nine months, after working with Cakewalk, Cubase and Protools, I feel much better when using Logic as the others. Difficult to explain why .... Perhaps accustomed to the MAC environment for years.

It is clear that I will ever be the choice unless Logic Pro X follows the same direction as Final Cut X returns to the general public ...

Installation is flawless just a little long.
The config is a breeze, like all good apps Call elsewhere.
The manual is a bit limited, but all the basics to operate the software on it. We find little on the NET, a doc of 718 pages dealing with all the plugins and effects found in Logic, something to read during the long winter evenings.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

J have not encountered any compatibility issues either with the 64-bit CPU, nor with the audio interface MOTU 8pre.

OVERALL OPINION

I use Logic since March 15. I already tried Nuendo 2 on PC but I met latency issues that I never managed to totally eliminate. This is not the case with Logic, I have no such probs.
On price of course, is something else. One must engage in audio editing regularly to justify the purchase of 500 €.

I started out in Logic 7 and have enjoyed Apple's commitment to constantly improving. They have had some bugs with upgrades and updates but work quickly to get them fixed and I've never had to stop working because of any bugs.
I haven't had much experience with PT, but I couldn't imagine it being better or easier to use the L9. With the new FlexTime editing and great sounding DRUM Replacements, mixing has never been easier. Lining up drums and bass is a breeze and there is no change in sound. Piano, guitar, etc. is a little more sensitive but easily moveable. It gives you the option of choosing which part of the waveform you want to compress or expand. You can also quantize tracks to the n'th degree. Lining up 8 drum tracks and a bass track to be perfect takes 15 minutes. The new Amp Designer and Virtual Pedal Board are great sounding and fun. All of the plug-ins are great sounding and easy to use.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Everyone knows Logic is amazing. I moved over from PT mainly because I was sick of being stuck with their interfaces. PT is a great choice, but the ease of Logic is just absurd... My main reason for writing though is to say that the free month of video training from groove3 is amazing. I don't know why you would buy this program from anywhere else. I was changed over and up and running confidently in just 2 weeks. I mean really flying around the program. Gate, Limiter etc... are a great place to start although eventually I plan to replace them with Waves plugins




OVERALL OPINION

Apple has this great deal that they offer when buying a mac called One to One. You can meet once a week with an Apple trainer in the store to learn how to use Logic or any other apples software for $99 a year. I've been using it to learn how to mix and I highly recommend it.
