Pro Tools Vs Logic Pro: Which one should YOU choose? (DAW comparison)

Logic Pro or Pro Tools? What is best to start with, and what do professionals use in the industry? X O'Connor and Seth Mosley weigh in to help you make the best decision based on what kind of music you want to create.

No one should have to face the music industry alone.

We hope this is helpful! Choosing the right DAW was one of the SCARIEST decisions to make when we started out, because it wasn't just about the money, it was about all of the TIME that you spent learning something.

Did you choose Logic or Pro Tools? Which do you prefer? Let us know!

Choose the one that costs $200, that isn't a subscription, that doesn't need a supercomputer to run smoothly and doesn't occupy a USB port every time you wanna use it.

Love the breakdown of both DAWs. I produce in Logic and edit, mix, master in Pro Tools.

People who make beats in pro tools are a different breed 😂

[JBLopez]

Quite logical, you guys are The Pros!

What does he say at 1:47 bear and scream?" I can't find X O'Connors name on credits for either of the CDs they held up. And the first one held up is Fix My Eyes, released as a single.

Logic 10.8 now has a mastering assistant which is a free plugin for existing users….and it’s great!

3:03 What does "two stick and vocals" mean?

I find the editing functions in Logic super easy, especially 'flex', 'takes' and logical shortcuts (eg ⌘T for Trim). What I find difficult is integrating outboard. Today I tried Luna. I'd hate to record or edit using it, but with the console mode it's like mixing on a desk, each channel has the eq right above the fader. It sounds great. And I can punch in hardware with no latency on each track. Is ProTools more easy to integrate outboard? Getting a bit over manual recall going into the summing mixer.

I have both Logic Pro x and Protools and don't really know how to use either of them all like that, but I just saw that protools does have an update available so we will see I guess.

[Grant_Ferstat]

So...many many years ago I had an original MBox and ProTools LE!

I let that system slide because I spent the next couple of decades working in pro studios with my bands as an artist/guitarist where I was doing none of the engineering. I can't really remember much about how I used ProTools althrough watching engineers over the years I may have absorbed a little.

Forward to 2024 and I now realise I need to record simple demos, and also "keeper" electric and guitar tracks at home. Should I stick with tools do ya think?

[kevinmeng]

Amazing video and super helpful thanks for this

[elemental_animal]

Does Pro Tools not also have a perpetual license? it's a lot more expensive but I thought they had one where like you didn't have to continuously pay

[samchristian]

Thank you for making my decision easier. I might start in Logic Pro. I’m a beat maker getting ready to start recording vocals and basically become more useful in the studio than just being a beat maker and this video is helping me take that next step. Salute to you gentlemen

I orchestrate, but I use the native playback that comes with the notation software. I use Sibelius and for notation and Noteperformer4 for playback. I write for performance, that is, I change dynamics instead of volume. I don't like touching the midi volume on the playback, however I would like my music to sound more realistic. Hiring an orchestra it's a bit expensive. I do have a problem with making up passages that would be unrealistic for an orchestra to perform, just so that it sounds good on playback. I know there are different DAW libraries out there by philharmonic orchestra, but which program run those more realistic sound?

[Hammerman]

Logic Pro for me…..love it…..it totally works for me.

iPhone comes with garage band? The screen is too tiny to do anything.
