This isn’t the time or the place for PC Vs Mac debates, so I’ll leave it at that, just as a point of information.

Well, the elephant in the room of unique identifiers here is that Logic Pro is only available for Mac. Now, let’s see if we can pick out some unique identifiers for them… I think that heads off the generalizations about both products. Depend on your ability to put good sounds in to be able to get better sounds out – as my first producer told me: “You can’t polish a turd”.Depend on your own ears and knowledge and skills as a producer to make the output sound good.Depend on the output hardware you’re using – I’m talking monitors and headphone here.Depend on the room that you’re recording in – every room sounds different.WIll work perfectly well for mixing and mastering.Need a relatively powerful computer to avoid lag and swearing.

There ends the discussion of Logic Pro’s pricing options. I’m sure I’ll return to that point a little later. You may have noticed that I only mentioned the Mac App Store? Yeah, Logic Pro isn’t available for Windows or Linux or anything. There doesn’t seem to be any discounts for education or anything, another unusual aspect for commercial, high-end DAWs. There were no discounts for individuals upgrading from the previous version, which is unusual in DAW version progression and pricing. How much is Logic Pro X? From the Mac App Store you can grab it for around $199. So that’s kind of cool, I guess? Pricing options Logic Pro One of its interesting claims to fame is that Ricky Martin’s Livin’ La Vida Loca was the first number one single to have been entirely recorded, edited, and mixed in Pro Tools. That first Pro Tools cost a whopping $6,000! It’s hailed as the first digital multitrack recording software, which makes it funny to think that something that originally cost so much led to something you can now get online for free! It became Sound Tools in 1989, and was renamed Pro Tools in 1991. The following year – 1985 – they were offering downloadable features for the software. Pro Tool first appeared as Sound Designer, created by two Berkeley graduates in 1984.

Pro Tools is celebrating its 30th birthday this year, so happy birthday to you!
