Why do you use Logic as your DAW? What makes it standout vs others?

Instruments, effects, workflow, stability, speed, ease of use. It’s such a powerful DAW and once you learn it, you are only limited by what you can create with it. It’s the only DAW that really feels like “home” to me.

I always suggest finding a DAW that feels like “home” and sticking with that and really learn it. Logic Pro X is definitely my weapon of choice.

It pretty much has everything you need right out of the box at a good price. Works great on macOS (my preferred OS). Great updates.

Mostly out of habit as I've used it since day 1. I know how it works & it is very stable. I don't find it particularly exciting & I probably don't use most of the newer features.

Bitwig however, gives me a buzz every time I start it up. It's a playground as far as I'm concerned.

The combination of the two is just perfect for me

Oh & I haven't paid for an update in so many years it ridiculous

Well, I didn't know what a DAW was at the time I decided I wanted to start making synth music and bought the Arturia collection back in, uh, 2014, and at this point it's the DAW I understand how to use, so I use it.

Bought Bitwig last year, but I've never really been able to 'bond' with it.

All of this, plus backwards compatibility with older versions. I can still flawlessly open and playback sessions from v4, which is about 23 years old.

It also feels like home to me. It’s one of the only DAWs I’ve really used. Whenever I tried out other DAWs it always felt like being invited to a shitty party where I don’t know anyone and leave early because I’d rather be home reading in silence.

Same here... Logic and Bitwig make a perfect combo.

Logic is incredible, especially for the price, and yeah, it keeps getting better and no update costs!

It's comparatively affordable, powerful, incredibly feature- and sound-rich, and decently easy to learn and use. I have my issues with it, and it's complex, but if it weren't for Live, I'd still be using it. I still do for some things.

affordable, easy to figure out, measured low latency and jitter of input midi, pretty flexible routing and supports MMC. good midi editing, fast workflow for tracking. stable.

I use it just for changing the sound track of a video. I once bought it for a recording project and its still useful. The instruments I rather load into Mainstage and connect it with Blue Cats Connector to Bitwig. The instruments are great and might justify working with Logic…
The deal breaker is its plugin scan. It does not remember the already scanned plugins. It might be fixed in the mean time, but I am still on Mojave…

One of the downsides to Logic is that latest and greatest are usually tied to the latest macOS version. Sometimes that requires a whole new machine just to get the latest upgrade to macOS. I haven't had issues with plugin scanning not remembering installed plugins but I'm on an M1 Max machine on Monterey and I'm running the latest version of Logic.

It's the most full-featured stable DAW there is. They even have simple tools so the non-musicians who call themselves producers these days can use it

But musicians especially shine with it.

Ah, you started out on Atari? Or was it your personal day 1?
