Pro Tools 12 VS Logic X
Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2017 6:29 pm
Hello,
I have been sifting thru this forum for awhile now, and have found a lot of valuable information. As a long time PT user, I am considering moving to Logic.
My home system is PT 8, but am very familiar with working in 10 at various studios, but in audio post production capacity. ( no midi to speak of) I am looking to purchase a refurbished iMac say mid 2015 ( as per some of your recommendations). Also in the market for new interface, have been using AVID Mbox, so any input on that would be appreciated. I am a singer/songwriter/ keyboardist, so I don't need a lot of inputs - not recording bands or anything. I don't really have a sound library, just with the stock PT stuff . Also I would like to expand my writing for instrumental cues.
Some questions for you PT diehards ( of which I am one) - have the midi applications improved much with the new versions? Have any of you made the switch to Logic and never looked back? Will it take me a year + to get up to speed on Logic? What about the old adage that people prefer to write/compose in Logic but edit/mix in PT? Is that still a thing? Are realistic contemporary drums /grooves better in Logic?
What about the per month pricing for PT? I feel like b/c I do work in audio post I cannot do away with PT completely and don't want to get too far behind the curve - Is it desirable to utilize both PT and Logic?
Geez I guess I have a lot of questions..
I appreciate any feedback you guys have!
Thanks,
Lucy
