DAW of choice for now...
I like to describe Logic Pro as a musician’s DAW…I think this DAW has the MOST extensive stock instrument library of all of the DAWs on the market and most, if not all of the samples can stand up against most 3rd party samples (they could add a Jazz guitar though and the strings, brass and current guitars could use an update for sound and options for expressiveness). If you are getting started, it is a great DAW with pretty much any plugin you can think of for mixing your songs and getting great results. I do use 3rd party plugins for mixing most of the time but before I did that, I was using Logic plugins, most of which are pretty good once you master them. I’m so glad it has a TRUE pan knob now as opposed to the Direction Mixer. That was huge. The ONLY things I have complaints about now is the crashing periodically AND the fact that whenever there is an overload OR I need to reload my pre-amp interface, some of my plugin settings get reset or changed. THAT is super annoying. I am going to log a support ticket to Apple about this because it is extremely frustrating when you spend time on a mix only find that some of the mixing decisions you made have been reset during some phase of the project. I find that although I like using the stock Channel EQ because of the analyzer, I think that is uses too much CPU so I end up using the Waves Q10 or REQ6. I’m giving it a 4 but I would give it a 5 if not for the random plugin resets.
