Logic Pro 4+

I'm a proponent of both Logic Pro X and Avid Protools HD, as a blind producer, accessibility on the mac with VoiceOver is vital. Logic Pro X really does provide the most flexible interface possibe. However... There are a number of things which really could be improved upon. These include giving the user the option to completely opt out of installing apple loops, apple instruments, etc and just using the plugins the customer owns, so just using Logic Pro X as the host and now a bulked up system, that'd save over 60gb storage space, etc. The ability for visually impaired users (those who can still see a display) to fully adjust colour profiles of Logic Pro X without third party products to do the same job.. There's some other improvements which really could be considered here, but I will say this. Logic is an easier system to work with than Protools for setting up, etc, plus MIDI work is so much better. Just for information here, I am an experienced Studio tech working in the Accessibility in Music Technology Industry and there are many DAW developers who don't support screen reader technologies, especially VoiceOver, this needs to change.

first off, I am not a hobbyist, I have been a musician for over 30 years on 3 instruments. But I always hated computers and Cubase, etc, though I had no choice but to use them. I had to use the Windows monstrosity. Well, switched to Mac and started liking my computer for the first time ever, and now Logic Pro completes what I can really call a music studio. If you are a pro self-produced musician and write your own music, that's what you want. The addition of the Session players help me make very good sounding sketches, and I can record and perfect everything myself, until kingdom come, but it's very nice to have these useful and powerful tools, especially since I am no drummer and though I worked with drummers before, I'd rather do it all myself. And to top it off, now there's a Mastering assistant. If you want to stop wasting your time beating your head against the wall, get this setup.....and Macs need not be too expensive if you buy smart, I buy used.

Totall Apple camper here. Back to recording once and for all all the mountain of solid ideas I accumulated in years.

And wow, the chord track in Logic. The CHORD TRACK. This is incredibly useful for composition, and make no mistake this is NOT necessarily for people who know little music theory, I have studied music for 30 years. This is good, well done Apple.

I produce a lot of music that is very sample based and I am very pleased about the latest sampler in the 10.5 update. However, unlike DAW's like Ableton or FL, I can't easily preview samples to drag into my sampler within the file browser. Logic seems to struggle to preview a lot of 32 bit samples but 16 bit is fine. This makes my workflow a lot slower, compared to Ableton and FL, where every sample is easily accesible and heard instantly. I usually have to resort to using the sampler in Alchemy where I can preview which sample fits my track at one click. This is what I have been doing for years but of course it takes a little longer than it should. A step in the right driection with the fast sampler, but still not entirely there with the 32 bit samples. I have hundreds of sample kits and can't be expected to convert them all, when Logic SHOULD just be able to preview them for me.
