All user reviews of 5/5 for the Apple Logic Studio 9

Simple installation without any problems. It was an upgrade from Logic Pro 7. There is no paper manual, which a shame!

OVERALL OPINION

1 month of use
I have already worked on Cubase, Digital Performer and Protools also.
This is an upgrade (from 7 to 9) which is vraimenle time, the new features are numerous. He also certain features that it lacked compared to the competition.
I would not work with other software of Music, Logic Studio 9 running perfectly with Apogee Ensemble (Apogee and Motu 2408MKIII AD8000SE + + 24 I / O)

Logic Studio 9 is Apple’s latest version of their famous Logic DAW. The package includes Logic Pro 9, MainStage 2, Soundtrack Pro 3, tons of plug-ins and various production utilities to help you further polish your sound. This version combines the stability of Logic Pro 8 with the additional features of FlexTime, Amp Designer and a couple of other cool things.

If you’ve never a professional DAW before, Logic may be a bit overwhelming. However, it’s far more intuitive than most other DAWs out there, in my opinion. The colors are easy on your eyes, it’s highly customizable, contains logical placements of various tools and makes it easy to get a professional sound without having to go through too many tutorials just to learn how to record.

Flex Time is a new feature that Logic Pro 9 brings to the table. It’s pretty much like Pro Tools’ Elastic Audio, but I find it works a bit better. The detection of timing seems to be more intelligent, and that’s the biggest advantage I’ve found. Aside from that, it’s very similar, so anybody who is coming from Pro Tools shouldn’t have too many issues getting used to the new DAW.

Logic Pro 9 also brings some guitar modelers to the table with the help of Amp Designer. I’m usually critical of modelers out there, especially ones built into DAWs, and this is no exception. It’s really not that great for high gain tones, and it seems to be more centered towards clean to low gain tones. I’m hoping Apple with further develop this, but we’ll see what happens.

All in all, the DAW is a nice upgrade from Logic Pro 8, but some features do leave you wondering why you paid so much for an upgrade. If you’re happy with Logic 8, stick with that. Otherwise, check out the upgrade. Flex Time has been a lifesaver for me, personally.

Automatic installation extremely simple! Upgrade or not upgrade! 1
Order in Germany, the manual is in German, but hey, I think we can get a pdf on the net.
The configuration does not change too much when you're used to Logic 8.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Uses a Mac Pro Quad 2.66, 6 GB RAM, 4 DD 7200.
It works very well with my FIREPOD and also with a Motu HD976.
Logic 8 was beginning to have serious latency beyond the 8-track (with effects), whether in imac dual core 4 GB RAM on my Mac Pro.
I start projects "heavy" Demonstration (Lily Allen) and even with all of these effects, no worries.

OVERALL OPINION

Logic 8, for some time. Logic 9, two days ago.
I will return for a thorough update.
I have cubase studio 4, and I tried the Cubase SX, LE, SX2, Logic 8.
Upgrade to 166 euros from version 8, it's going, it's affordable.
I think I do not separate any time soon.

Easy installation. No inconsistency. The setup is easy. The manual is very thorough, despite the obvious translation errors (per ex. Tap tap tempo = tempo)

Macbook pro. 2.66 GHZ, 4GB of ram in snow leopard. Sound card RME Fireface 800. Perfect operation. Always available. This config is very stable.

OVERALL OPINION

Logic user Pro9 since its release. But Logic user for about fifteen years (first on Windows). This is the basic tools of my work.
I work also as Live 8 for other function.
The feature I like most: the availability of all the tools needed to make the composition, arrangement, production. It works all the time. I once left my computer on for some weeks without having to restart Logic.
The price / quality ratio is excellent. Including that of the plugin, the software package and mainstage WaveBurner

Easy installation but must be provided ahead of time, the configuration is simple, it's mac. To

turned my logic I have a core2duo at 3ghz imac 27 and rotates nikel with 4GB of ram, all is stable overall.

OVERALL OPINION

I use Logic for a year now, I was skeptical at first because the interface looks a bit like GarageBand, but once past that stage I realized that for its price the RQP was unbeatable. I tried Cubase, Pro Tools, Nuendo, Digital Performer ... and logic for me is more complete and simpler for the price. The original virtual instrument in no way inferior to those created by publishers, most of all the samples are compatible Apple Loops directly to the sequencer. Compatible with other software projects and provided with a pack of software production as soundtrackpro (editing his post-production)
so should have put money in his full software, then there is no doubt that logic studio thing.

installation is the normal way, but quite a bit longer because there are cd sound banks that take quite some time. Configuaration complete approximately 60Gb

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I work with an Imac 27 "with a sound card and 3GB RME Fireface 400 and I have not encountered any problems until now

OVERALL OPINION

J ' Logic Pro since version 7 and I mean I can not get enough.
What I like most is the management of plugs is very clean. Each parameter can be found very easily. Nothing to do with cubase.
The internal plugs are good but should be supplemented by others. Sounds already prepared are very good too.
A good sequencer for me ...
