#Apple logic pro x vs pro tools 11 software#

This paradise is your reward - it’s like a long-term relationship. There’s a lot of pain, it’s like walking through the woods and dealing with mosquitos and you don’t know where you’re going, but you continue day after day and then you emerge on this beautiful beach. It’s a story I hear from all my clients and students: you can’t start using it without formal training.

You upload the software and then after an hour, a day, a week, you’re still at square one. When it comes to Pro Tools, it’s the opposite. Then, of course, as you want to go deeper, get more professional, it gets more challenging and more complicated. Of course, you might want some formal training, but you can move around relatively quickly at the very beginning. When it comes to Logic, you can upload to the computer and in an hour or so, you can play around with it and get things out of it. Maurizio De Togni: The learning curves, as I like to say to my clients and students and anyone I’m coaching/mentoring, are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

They want to start creating and they don’t want to deal with headaches and tech stuff. Which one is easier to learn? Of course, I ask this question because a lot of the independent artists out there will be excited to get the software uploaded and get right to work. When it comes to Apple (Logic), there are no discounts, it’s just one price for everybody - it’s less than $20 a month.īobby Borg: OK - there are more options with Pro Tools, but in the end, Pro Tools is the more expensive product.īobby Borg: So, let’s move on to the learning curve. It’s going to cost you more with Pro Tools, you can’t buy it, but you can pay little-by-little - it’s as low as $10 a month, I believe, with a student or academic discount. When it comes to leasing or renting, that’s the new-school trend for this kind of software, Logic gives you all the options: you can buy or you can lease it long-term. When it comes to purchase price, if you want to just own the software, at the end of the day, Logic is less expensive - and is actually it’s the only option you have.

Maurizio De Togni: Price is crucial for everybody, whether you’re working with a small or big budget. Which of these programs is cheaper, because a lot of the independent artists out there are on tight budgets, so this is an important factor. So, when it comes to home recording equipment, there’s still a debate as to which is the better platform, Avid’s Pro Tools or Apple’s Logic Pro, and here to help us settle the score is the go-to expert in Hollywood. I’ve got Maurizio Otto De Togni with me, he’s an Avid-certified Pro Tools expert instructor, an Apple-certified Logic Pro X trainer, and a music-maker and audio technologist. Excerpted from the video, “Pro Tools Versus Logic? Which Home Recording Software is Better?”īobby Borg: The topic for my discussion today is Pro Tools versus Logic, and we’ll break that down into three areas:
