Some might say I am crazy, but I mean it! BECAUSE: Logic Pro7 comes with a pack of proffessional plugins and Instruments (equivalent of VST Instruments in Cubase) and theese are good enough for professional use.
I do not want to argue about that, but everytime I have to turn the PC on, I am looking forward to switch it OFF again!Ģ/ Why should be Logic on Mac better than Cubase? I can give you my experience but it is up to you-to choose from it the point that is important for you.ġ/ Forget the PC and Windows. I can compare! I am long time Cubase user, I have all versions of SX and I am working with both platforms, Mac and WinXP PC. i miss cubase, but i have no money to drop on it. not to mention, reason 3.0 sounds a LOT better than 2.5 used to, and now i only use logic to record audio. so i was forced to try to rewire reason to logic to use those tools, and the cycle mode hangs if i have the wrong instrument going in logic (all the good ones, and all third party) so that put a huge damper on work flow.
turns out, the instruments do sound a lot better than the ones in the previous version of reason, however there is no usable loop utility included and the drum machine is a bit bulky and overdone in my opinion. afterall, logic comes with a drum machine, a bunch of instruments, bla bla bla. i bought logic (ouch) to get away from having to rewire reason to cubase for every song. cubase is a better program overall in my oppinion as far as workflow and productivity, and intuitive, more so than logic. If you plan on using reason, stick with cubase. how "efficiently" one operates from the other i think is not as critical - i doubt there would be enough difference for that to make you switch. You need to be taken through logic by some one who can show you around. i think i can confidently say that most people here would tell you would not look back - even those who use both that complain about some of logic's niggles. if sx does it for you stay with that and concentrate on getting good on it to make good music.īut if you are looking over the shoulder of a logic user and find that it can offer you more, then think about the upgrade.
real world, it will be about features and flexibility that will make the difference. what you would be looking for from logic is it's range of plug-ins, and i think esx24 is worth price of admission. logic has its holes and bugs, just like any other program, but it is fantastically deep and customizable. if you are familiar with cubase you can make logic behave in a similar way by customizing the key commands.
Using logic express is like using garageband except with logic gui ( if you get a bit use to express and you start to love it, then upgrade to pro, this forum will be able to help you get you on your running shoesīut if you feel like express is slowing you down and too complicated then don't waste money going to pro and take some more time with cubase, you might perform better than someone using logic proįull logic is what you need. Others perform better on mac using cubase than logic, it depends onġ: the system ( G5 dual 1.8 - 2.7 and rams 2 - 4 gb)Ģ: the user ( what the user is planing to do )ģ: knowledge ( building good skills on one application is better than buying mac worth of $5,000 and switching applications to find the best one )
Some people works better with logic 5 on windows but perform crap on mac In terms of logic working better than cubase on mac is a lie, every user knows their trick for making things work So the question is what do you do and what do you want out of the two app that both don't have compare to each other Protools and cubase is far better than logic when it comes to that This is my point of view and so as other logic users,īut other users will say that all they want to do is record audio and add a few midi instruments along side, them people don't really need to switch to logic You start to work fast with bunch of key commands as you go along, building autoload also makes logic even easier to use I'm on logic 7, and i feel like I'm half way with 7, but i can do incredibly crazy things that I'll never imaging doing with cubase, fruityloops, BG, and protoolsįirst few months on logic is horrible and i can say that every user here will agree with me, but after a while you get surprises all the time ( good ones too ) Yet there is alot i don't even know about logic 4 or 5 or even 6 It took about 6 months learning cubase inside out, 3 months on fruityloops, 6 months on protools, and 2 months with Garageband ? Logic requires more than being a good musician, there is soo many features in logic that even the pro musicians don't know it existed On the other side if you are a user with more need than just the basics, then logic is the best for you
If cubase works great and no problems plus it gets the job you need done, then i wouldn't be switching
