Before choosing an alternative, there are some comparable features you would want to look for that Logic offers. Logic has a myriad of reliably built plugins that it comes with, including their vocal compressor , and their amp designer is capable of endless guitar altering configurations. You may need to bring in 3rd party plugins at some point, but Logic starts you off on the right track. Finding a comparable product you will want to look for similar plugin features, built right into your DAW.
Users are willing to pay a premium for Mac products largely due to their product design. Logic Pro, being a Mac-based software follows suit with quality aesthetics and is intuitively easy to use. A good alternative to Logic should share that aspect. A strong community to learn how to utilize certain aspects is almost as important as the software itself.
Choosing a DAW comparable to Logic should have a strong community to tap into or a library of online tutorials. We took a look at alternatives that are just as affordable from a price point, including the value you can get out of it. Here are the top Logic Pro X alternatives with details on pricing, platform support, features, and more.
We looked for support on Windows machines as a necessary component as Logic is only available on Mac. Soundtrap is a completely online DAW acquired by Spotify in Above all, the learning curve to accomplish recording a song is made easy with Soundtrap.
You do not need to worry about compatibility with your computer, as it runs in the browser independently, while still operating as professionally built DAW. One of the more exciting features of Soundtrap is its online collaboration tools. You can easily sync up and work with your producer of band members, as well as find new talent easily by searching. Reason is a DAW that many others have used as a basis for new ideas and creativity.

There are countless ways to learn how Pro Tools works and is a great option for a home studio or professional studio. You can learn about these here! PreSonus is another brilliantly designed platform that reduces the learning curve when new to music production or starting with a new DAW.
Additionally, the community you can tap into for inspiration, collaboration, and general support is now extensive. User reviews have reported transition from Logic to Studio One as an alternative easier than you might expect. Another great feature with Studio One is the 40GBs of samples , loops, and one-shots that it comes with by default. Many other DAWs require annual upgrade purchases.
The first five versions of Logic were available on both Mac and Windows. However, in , Apple announced that they had bought the software, and starting with Logic 6, it would only be available on Mac OS. Power your sound with the tools that power the industry. Pro Tool first appeared as Sound Designer, created by two Berkeley graduates in The following year — — they were offering downloadable features for the software.
It became Sound Tools in , and was renamed Pro Tools in How much is Logic Pro X? There are no other pricing options. There were no discounts for individuals upgrading from the previous version, which is unusual in DAW version progression and pricing. You may have noticed that I only mentioned the Mac App Store?
Avid now offers three different pricing tiers, but unfortunately, they have done away with their freemium model. They do offer free trials for each tier, however.
Their new tiers are Artist, Studio, and Flex. Pros Tool Arist is a brand new product perfect for aspiring music creators, songwriters, and producers. Pro Tools Studio was formerly known as Pro Tools Studio and is geared toward professional creators that need both variety and quick access. This tier is geared towards professional music studios. It provides the highest track count, advanced features that help you take on the most significant projects, and Dolby Atmos workflows are integrated into the software.
Soundbase makes it a snap to browse, search, audition, explore, and experiment with loops, samples, and sound effects from nearly any sound library. OK, these are primarily aimed at very serious home users, and professional producers, so either of these will do an awful lot… not all of it making for a particularly riveting read. It might be easier to run through what they both do, and then give specifics about what they highlight as their selling points?
I think that heads off the generalizations about both products. Well, the elephant in the room of unique identifiers here is that Logic Pro is only available for Mac. Here are the main things — and yes, there will be similarities to what you read in the last section. Not just contentious, but ultimately, kind of pointless. Most producers will have started using one or the other, and just stick with it, I guess just for simple comfort with the familiar.
However, it might be of use to speak to that usability. I would say that with either Logic Pro or Pro Tools, they both have an intimidating amount of features for a newbie. Where do you even start? A common complaint on Reddit on the matter is that even tutorials about either product are barely intelligible, and are too long.
In this respect, I think just getting stuck in and making mistakes is the best way to get to grips with the usability of high-end DAWs that try and cram in a lot of functionality.
Logic Pro is a slick piece of kit. The Smart Tempo is a cool feature, but, like many other pieces of digital innovation in music, it begs the question: does it reduce the skill required to be a good musician?
To date, and with lower cost DAWs, you did achieve this on your records by having your drummer play along with a click track, and the rest of the band followed the drummer.

Vocal chops are fun. They stimulate creative rhythmic and melodic ideas that would otherwise be difficult to develop. Follow along in this video as I take a short vocal phrase, convert it to a quick sample instrument, create some vocal chop phrases, and add processing.
Logic has hundreds, if not thousands, of key commands designed to make using Logic easier and more efficient. Here, I'd like to share five originally unassigned key commands that I have assigned, improving my workflow immensely. Follow along in this video to see how Eli Krantzberg sets up a guitar solo with a unique set of rolling repeats that swells and ebbs with the rhythm of the song.
See how to use parallel processing that includes side chain compression, EQ, chorus, direction mixer, and tremolo, to create interesting movement and width to a stacked keyboard part. Steve DeMott recently did an article on 2-Buss compression recently. In this video Eli takes some of his ideas and develop them using Logic's powerful and flexible built-in compressor plug-in.
There is a lot more to this plug-in than initially meets the eye, especially when it comes to "glue" style bus processing. Note: Click Load more results to see the Instruments and Effects. Edgar, I just finished your free automation book and I really liked it. I am definitely sold on your series but I have a quick question before I buy the next installment.
Does the "Details" book overlap with the "how it works" book or is entirely different material? I've been using Logic for a couple of years so I am pretty good at doing things in my own way. My problem is that I find I am doing some things the hard it feels like. I am wondering, do I need to get both books or should I just go straight to the "Details" since I already have a lot experience in Logic?
Also, thanks again for the pdf link, but I was wondering, do you also have links to the old instruments and effects pdf's from that time? Thanks for your time and help.
It is a continuation with all the remaining features of Logic that I haven't covered in the first book. They are useful for any user level, because I introduce each topic in case a user is not familiar with it. A user can implement any of those trips, trick, features into any workflow right away. I often get response from customers that they say they are experienced Logic user, but they still found information in my book that they didn't know in Logic.
How about the following challenge which is only for you and not for the public in general. I have a copy of it so I went to this URL and put in the following that you see in the image, then clicked on Search. Click on it to get the PDF. EdgarRothermich I think the value of an old fashioned index is that unlike a boolean search it lets the author create useful semantic links.
For instance, the index entry "tracking" could take you to sections on recording audio and other sections on recording MIDI, even though the word "tracking" might appears in neither. Make sense? I understand you wrote the first book, then got into details, wrote the second. It's great for someone to read in that order. But having to use boolean search in two books doesn't make a lot of sense if you're trying to jump to answers.
My case I don't think is unique. I'd love to sit by the fireplace and read your books, but what I really need is a fast way to zoom in and read e.
And boolean searches pre-suppose I know the terminology, while I might not yet know what it's called in Logic. What I'm getting at is that there's an additional value-added layer you could offer that would use your familiarity with Logic and other apps to create something like an uber-index, a semantic converter, that would help anyone, even say a Cubase or ProTools user, to zoom in on the specific Logic stuff that might be discussed in multiple sections and books.
Another example. LPXColorizer adds comfort and logic to your DAW, coloring objects differently for easier tracking and smarter correlations.
A theme is a file made of color profiles. You can think of it as an outfit. When you apply a theme with LPXColorizer, Logic Pro needs to re-launch to put on this new outfit, which will become from here on out the standard graphic colors, and that until your apply another theme or revert to the default interface. You can collect as many themes as it pleases you, a theme takes just 60KB of space on your hard drive! Here is an example of color-coding applied to the piano roll.
This smart grid helps you identify the value of your midi notes at glance. The orange bars are measure dividers separating whole notes. There are a plethora of operations where color adjustment can help. Actually over the course of an entire day, these enhancements become big time-savers.
Aching to give your region colors a slight different style? You will be able to bring the perfect contrast between your regions and the main background.
Better yet, you can get regions to be white or black according to your preferences. The application interface is pretty simple : Select a theme from the theme list and hit the Colorizer button. That means it will capture the audio after processing by compressors, EQs, effect plugins etc if Satellite Audio is placed after such plugins.
To capture the dry signal, place Satellite Audio before any processing plugins. Here is how to get started: Download and install Satellite Sessions from mixedinkey.
Create New Session Enter a name for the Session. You will be prompted to enter the Key and Scale of your project.
