Excellent for home recordists

Apple has a great gateway drug for music production: GarageBand. You can go from knowing nothing to learning basic concepts about multitracking, midi, effects, and signal flow. And once you’re ready to move on to something more powerful, ta-dah! Logic Pro X has enough family resemblance with GarageBand that the transition should be quite easy. This is good, because Logic is *very* powerful, especially for composing music. The continuum from novice to expert is years long, but for me it’s reassuring to know that I’m able to do anything I want to do with my music production while knowing that, should I explore, say, advanced sound manipulation, Logic has tricks up its sleeve that I’m not even aware of yet.

This review is intended mainly for home recordists who are not audio professionals. If you are a professional engineer, or plan to be one some day, you probably want to invest in Pro Tools. But if you’re looking for a powerful tool for recording, Logic fits the bill no question, at a terrific price.
