Miglior Musica Software di Registrazione

Logic Takes Over the Music World When Apple bought Logic from Emagic in July of 2002, the audio world took a big breath and wondered what would happen next. Until that time, Apple's line of Pro Creati  

Logica assume la World Music

Quando Apple ha comprato da Emagic Logic nel luglio del 2002, il mondo audio ha un grande respiro e mi chiedevo cosa sarebbe successo. Fino a quel momento, la linea di Apple Pro Creative Software incluso solo Final Cut Pro e DVD Studio Pro ... due applicazioni davvero sorprendenti. Ma poco si sa allora che Apple aveva in programma di trasformare il Mac in tutte le piattaforme sogno artisti.

Prima che Apple acquistato Logic, Emagic non era altro che un giocatore po 'nel mondo della produzione audio. Pro Tools è stata l'industria de facto standard di DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) e se avete lavorato nel mondo della musica a qualsiasi tipo di livello grave, sicuramente usato Pro Tools nel vostro studio. Ci si aspettava, perché solo Pro Tools (allora) in grado di offrire la potenza di elaborazione necessaria a masticare attraverso un progetto multitraccia di grandi dimensioni con tonnellate di effetti DSP aggiunto a ogni traccia, il che rende migliore il software di registrazione musicale.

La ragione per Pro Tools goduto di un vantaggio competitivo al momento della causa l'accelerazione hardware che Digi Design (il creatore originale di Pro Tools prima di Avid ha acquisito) costretti ad acquistare al fine di eseguire il loro software. Queste schede hardware contenuti core di elaborazione in più che ha fatto tutto il lavoro pesante quando si applica riverberi, compressione, EQ, e così via. Ma tutto ciò che la potenza di elaborazione è venuto ad un prezzo ... un prezzo serio ... a volte decine di migliaia di dollari.

E questo era in cui Apple ha colto l'opportunità. Mela conosceva il potere delle CPU utilizzate nei loro computer è stato destinato ad aumentare in modo drammatico. Sapevano anche i clienti sfruttare meglio la potenza del computer host e una DAW relativamente economico (Logica) di fare musica, invece di comprare extra, e molto costoso, hardware esterno a fare esattamente la stessa cosa. E perché la logica era solo per funzionare su Mac, Apple, sapeva anche che l'acquisto da Emagic Logic avrebbe portato una razza completamente nuova di produttori alla loro piattaforma, che avrebbe il risultato di permettere loro di vendere più computer. E 'stata una win / win-...

Dal 2002 ho notato una progressione costante nel mondo della musica verso l'utilizzo Logic. Quasi ogni studio in tutto il mondo offre ora sia Logic e Pro Tools nelle loro sale di registrazione e mescolare. Molti hanno sostituito insieme al software Pro Tools. Al di fuori del fattore prezzo, gente come Logic per il potenziale creativo che offre. Logica ha audio superiore di routing e funzioni di editing MIDI. Ci sono decine di strumenti software ed effetti DSP costruito proprio (che lo rende uno dei "studio in una scatola" più versatili applicazioni software oggi sul mercato), e con l'architettura unità audio impiegati da Logic, 3 produttori di plug-partito in grado di progettare effetti e strumenti che senza soluzione di continuità collegarlo le tracce per aumentare la potenza del software.

For many producers today, it's a no brainer ... they grab a mac and a copy of Logic, and they are ready to go! Logic is taking veer the music production world ...Best music recording software, what do you think?

Without doubt Martin, I agree with you. Logic is the way forward on the Mac for recording & producing music. It's amazing how the price has been slashed since Apple took over. I remember back in the Logic 5 days to purchase Logic and all the plugins would cost in the region of £1200 GBP! Now, with so much more content, many more plugins, amazing features it's available for under £400 GBP.

As CPUs in Macs become more and more powerful, applications like Logic and Live will surely keep growing their user base, while I expect Pro Tools to become more and more affordable too.

Avid has to do something with Pro Tools to keep up. Their booth at NAMM was a shadow of it's former glory ... just a few pods and some tables to talk business at. No flashy presentations ... no big stage. And interestingly no Digi Design. Avid laid off a huge amount of staff last fall ... that's always a sign of things to come.

I definitely agree with you both about Logic 9 being the top dog right now, but then again, Logic (and Reason) are the only sequencers that I'm fluent in (I ditched Reason after I became fluent in Logic). I have a pretty solid opinion about why I use Logic Studio as opposed to Pro Tools 8. Mainly because Logic and Pro-Tools are constantly paired against each other. I'm not nearly as clear as to why I use Logic 9 as opposed to other sequencers like Digital Performer 7 or Cubase 5. I'd be very interested to hear what either of you have to say. How do the other DAWS compare with Logic 9? What does Logic do better then them, and in what ways might the other DAWS have slight advantages over Logic 9?

I bleed Logic, so I'm not planning on switching platforms. I am, however, very curious hear your 2¢ on the matter.

@ Eric, there are many similarities and differences between Logic and the competition. Let's choose Cubase first. Cubase has some great features and plugins in version 5... but it doesn't have an 'Environment'... This is a bog thing for me and performance of Cubase on Mac isn't as good as Logic.

Digital Performer 7. I'm not hugely versed in DP7. Again no environment style area is a killer blow for me. It's apparently very good for scoring movies but the interface never got me going. Also, for some bizarre reason when I first got Logic back in version 5 DP7 was big in the states but not very popular here in the UK.

Basically, Logic allows for a very very configurable workflow that suits my needs. Also, I just love Logic... I don't ge that feeling with other DAWs... I like them and appreciate them... but not the big L word ;-)

Having said that, there are features in Cubase 5 and Live that I like...

WOW, I just logged on tonight and I see a big fresh update to MacProVideo.com. Martin, you've been a busy man creating these articles for the new blog and your a great writer not to mention a great instructor. It's an amazing progression when you think about it. Logic is superior in so many ways. The sound sculpting synths and the built in EFX are extremely valuable. Logic is 64 bit and still accommodates 32 bit user plug ins. I went to NAMM this year and EVERYONE of any serious caliber was running logic. Melodyne is probably one of the most powerful softwares for audio around and of course, they were demoing and running on logic. I use a good number of plugins and frankly, Logic is so powerful, I am only using a few. you don't need a lot of plug ins unless your very specific in your needs which would be outside of logic. This website and the tutorials here along with the great forum support have taught me so much in such a short time, I am already working on my level two certification with Apple and the book looks like a printed review of what I have already learned with MacProVideo.com. I actually learned more with this companies training and to think I was completely ignorant to logic only 8 short months ago.

Apple is a dominate cultural force in todays society and Logic is so powerful, it's like handing over the keys to a serious professional studio for $500. Apple products are superior and the fact that they offer some of the smoothest running computers with the fastest and most powerful computing systems allows Logic to run completely in a native environment without external parts. That is simply amazing. Pro Tools cannot survive with a dominate force like Apple providing better and better product and software at these low prices. Lets see, $10K- $15K USD for a pro Tools HD set up ( the cheap one) or $500 for Logic that can outperform it?

Pro tools says, Nope you can't do that if you try something that is not conventional where as Logic says, " Lets try it?" You tell me.

Hi Victor, I'm glad to know the vids are helping! And even happier to know you're getting up to speed on Logic quickly ... :) ... I used to write the courseware for Logic for Apple, and IMHO these videos are a far better and quicker way to learn.

Great work over at vintageamps.com ... I love what you're doing there Victor!!
