Great Blog Ricco!

I am also a multi media artist as well as a producer and i just want to add, Logic Pro Studio is certainly the best music producing software i have ever used!

check out my site guys next to my name ;)

2012-02-02T12:28:41.233+01:00

This is a poor decision to not migrate to Windows PCs. There are a LOT of professional producers in here which are working with Windows only and don't think about to buy a mac.

Ableton, Cubase, Reason, FL Studio... all the sequencer "pro tools" are available on both platform, and Logic is the only software which is despising windows.

I will buy a windows PC

I worked in a studio with a 24 Channels SSL Oxford Duality Console, a few high end classical external gear (L1176, Lexicon Reverb...) everything was great, the only problem was... the MAC! The Computer Tech meant everything was fine but the MAC kept on getting stuck in every possible way, often throwing to dogs hours of work. So I think the whole stability issue is more like a kind of religious

Prepare for hell. I've tried it on several computers/laptops. Virtual Box and VMWare, both alike, it didn't work.

2011-12-03T19:05:56.782+01:00

This is nonsense. I have a Macbook pro, and OSX is nothing more than Unix in a different jacket. And Unix is not "core audio". Not at all. I also have Windows7 PC and various laptops running Win7. They do a perfect job recording, mixing and mastering using USB-audio interfaces or FireWire. Apple is indeed a lot more hype than most devote Apple users will ever admit.When buying a Mac,

2011-11-29T19:54:59.019+01:00

I've been using a pc to create music for over 8 years and its never had a negative effect on my ability to create. You've obviously had a bad experience with microsoft at some point (and who hasn't) but I don't think you can justify the extra expense of having a mac based on the on board software (which is still greatly affected by the hardware controlling it). I spent £800 on my

So does apple hack into people's brains to make them think the sub-par hardware and limited software selection is actually better?

Logic and Pro tools are 100 times better than cubase/nuendo.but when you work with videos,you should use cubase/nuendo rather than logic/pro tools,depending on the length of video clips.cubase/nuendo exports in no time.

2011-10-24T23:28:42.567+02:00

Logic is better than cubase.there is no doubt.but it is better if you can use both.because its quick and easy working with videos,if you use cubase.But the sound of logic is100 times deep than cubase.

2011-10-21T00:00:14.510+02:00

Please, no more BS. I've read through the past comments and everyone's sending out the same message "it'll pay off in the long run". F off. Macs only save money if you are into the music business (which initially was the point however). but when considering the multitude of other things not included in the mac, it seems a stupid decision to take. I chose a pc over a mac

The thing with Logic Studio is, if you like it, the you should be using a Mac. The philosophy of Logic Studio and the Mac are the same: build in one of everything, so that add-ons are optional customizations rather than essential components. When I used Cubase, I had probably 30 different 3rd party plug-ins, I couldn't do anything with just-Cubase. But once I switched to Logic, I only have

2011-09-08T09:45:05.948+02:00

Unless there is a specific file converter, you probably just want to go into Sonar and render out each track as a 32-bit audio file or a type zero MIDI file, then create a new Logic project and drag those tracks in.

2011-09-08T09:42:11.324+02:00

The thing you missed is that Apple dramatically slashed the price of Logic. What Apple sells for $499 today ($199 upgrade) used to cost over $2000 from Emagic. So the MacBook Pro you now need to run Logic Pro is free.

Another way to look at it is that Apple replaced the Logic USB key with a MacBook Pro and kept the price of Logic the same.

No, it is Microsoft's fault. The equivalent system on the Apple side is used by all those same companies.

2011-09-08T09:32:43.580+02:00

Yes, that setup will enable you to record audio. It is good for making scratch demos for songwriting or for recording a speech. But if you are recording vocals to use in a production mix, you should go microphone to preamp/compressor to audio input. The compressor is as essential to vocals as an amp is to guitar. Without them you do not have a proper vocal or guitar sound.

2011-09-08T09:17:56.827+02:00

It's "Mac," not "MAC." A "MAC" is a Machine Access Code, the unique number that identifies every networking interface on the planet. "Mac" is just short for "Macintosh."

Yes, you can open your Logic for Windows songs in Logic for Mac.

Maybe you can use your VST instruments if the maker has a version that is compiled for

2011-09-08T09:12:45.077+02:00

If Adobe spent the next 10 years adding features to Audition it would not even be close to a match for Logic. If you go and look at Logic running on a Mac, the screen you see is only one of the 99 screens. Logic is a composition and music production tool, it is not a broadcast toy like Audition.

Logic has been around since the 1980's, when it was originally called Notator. Logic

2011-09-08T09:08:53.778+02:00

Ridiculous. I used to use Cubase and it was crashy and didn't have a single decent effect or synth in it, you had to build from scratch. I've been using Logic Pro every day all day for over 5 years: no crashes. And it comes with a complete set of effects and instruments built-in. You don't have to add anything, that is optional. And Logic Pro is fully integrated with CoreAudio and

No, iPad is much better for running Reason than a Windows PC. The touchscreen alone makes it better, but the stability of iPad is also great.

2011-09-08T08:59:50.194+02:00

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure the Internet is not a fad. It's going to be around a while. I don't think leaving support for it out of a PC to save money is a good strategy. The reason that OS X is built on a Unix core is to make it safe to use it on the Internet. Yes, it's worth paying for.

And Apple Logic Pro and a 15-inch MacBook Pro to run it on
