Mr_Alexander ,

A decent DAW... But...

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.

Very good but needs improving.

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.

Sound Library Chaos

Please fix your sound library. It is the dumbest, least user friendly experience I have ever experienced... Recently bought a new mac? Sound library on an external drive? Should be as simple as plugging it in, relocating the library and off you go right? Nope, logic has done its absolute best to make what should be a very simple process as annoying and utterly stupid as possible.

First it won't let you relocate to the external drive because the library is already there - that's fairly simple to navigate around. Then, it will tell you that you've installed maybe 3 of the sound libary units even thought it's all there so you're going to have to mess around with the receipts folder to try and get Logic to recognize the rest.

When that doesn't work you'll have no choice but to re-download the entire sound library again rendering the whole exercise pointless. Thought you were done? Nope! Logic will now randomly start freezing halfway through the re-download so that you have to do it all again. Currently through my second try - FIX THIS PLEASE!!
