All "pros" moving over to Logic, why?

[jontah]

Hey!

I'm a HUGE electronic music follower since 7 years back and I've been following most of the artists on twitter, facebook, youtube, etc etc. And I've noticed that EVERYONE is moving from either Cubase, Ableton or FL to Logic, why is this?

I keep seing status updates "moving from Cubase to Logic today! Lets see how it works out", etc.

is there any difference? I thought DAW's was just a personal preference, which I've read all over the internet. I've been trying out all of these DAW's and I'm stuck with Logic and Ableton. Thinking of actually switching FROM Logic TO Ableton again.. but when I see all the pro's switchin DAW I'm starting to think there's actually something that IS better with Logic. The question is: What?

Or is it just because they want to do collabs and use the same program? that really shouldn't be any problem though, since they can just bring their laptop with them.. makes no sense to me tbh.

I'm the other way around, I actually think Logic is very unstable and Ableton and Cubase fits my needs better. But I'd like to stick with a DAW that I can work with in the future aswell.. never been doubting about DAWs at all, since I've tried them all and know what fits my needs.. but when all the big artists are changing to logic you gotta ask yourself "Y U NO ABLETON/CUBASE? Y U NEED SWITCH LOGIC?!"

Thanks

You're delusional: all the *real* pros use Reaper.

Well I don't know all about the switching over thing, like it's a trend or something.
More people are switching from owning pc's to mac's so, that may cause higher sales of logic.
I have both Live (the lite version though) and Logic8.
I think Logic is better in quite a number of ways, but it might just be my preference as you said.
What I think is better is the samples, included synths, and fx.
I think the piano roll midi editing works better too.
I like Lives synths too, but not as much. You also have to buy them or get the suite, which I won't. I have demoed them though.
Logic simply comes with some of the best plugins available imo.

I think it's quite normal. I find myself using mostly two DAWs but just the sheer way of workflow style of Ableton or Orion can sometime squeeze out of you a side mood ready to flourish a new piece of music.
Maybe just the workflow is a refreshing thing for those Pros running out of juice here and there.

1. Costs 149 EUR.
2. Developed by Apple.
3. 50 GB of content.
4. Simple copy-protection.
5. Very customizable workflow.
6. Good plug-ins out of the box.
7. Huge community.

Those reasons are enough for some

I paid about 400 EUR for Logic 8 some years ago and I can understand why a lot of people are migrating now.

The ones that I spoke to say it's because of their plugins as well
I would have to concur that it is a premier DAW I took a sample that
was clearly distorted with white noise and static and cleaned it
totally out of the samp definitely good for mixing and mastering
being as though I haven't moved up to MAC yet but I do have it for
PC though alot of the cats I spoke to at Guitar Center are using
Logic and Ableton.

$199 USD.

Hell, I almost went out and bought a MacBook Pro when that price was announced.

When Logic 9 was being sold for $500, it was already an excellent deal.

Now, for $200, its a no-brainer.

For a price that is equal to or less than what a number of fx plugins or instruments cost standalone, you get a fully functional DAW that includes a fairly good subtractive synth (ES2), a functional drum sampler/synth (Ultrabeat), a sampler with imo a far better sound library than Ableton EIC2 (EXS24), some really good and many fairly good effects, and more besides.

Basically, Logic is a very well-rounded package that probably gives more out of the box than most of its competition, for a lower price.

Out of curiosity, what is the copy protection?

Serial number if you purchased the boxed version or linked to your Apple ID thru Mac App Store.

We're using Logic 9, Cubase 6.5, Studio One 2 there's different flavors in each one that make it important enough to have them all for our workflow.

No pro moves, they are just tools to get a job done, they probably learn and use multiple platforms.
I have found it just tends to be the kids that for strong bonds with one bit of software or another (and keep moving around rather than learning what they have)

I will happily write in cubase, live, reason, reaper or maschine....all good, all houses for courses. If I had a mac and didn't already own cubase I would buy logic, but I don't see anything in logic that would make someone experianced with cubase move.

all good, all houses for courses.

That would be quite a slow race.

pesky iPad auto-predict-correct thing, now of logic could do that for my guitar playing.....
