Re: [Logic_Cafe] Pro Tools for this, Logic for that??

2007-07-24 by F Stuart Leeds

I have seen this thread come up so many times over the years. I  
remember in the PC days, when it was Logic vs. Sonar, and Logic vs.  
Cubase. Usually Logic was the one to beat, in those discussions.

When I converted over to Samplitude after the Apple debacle, I  
started to harbor little fears that the audio I was recording wasn't  
as good as what I was getting with Logic...using all the same high- 
quality mics, pres, hardware, etc. Then I came to realize that the  
main thing that had changed was my *workflow*. I was more comfortable  
with Logic, and I felt stilted in Samp. That affected my  
performances, and my mixes, and the whole process, really.

I think that's the difference people are hearing -- if indeed there  
is a difference to be heard.  I've heard stunning stuff out of almost  
every major platform...and crap out of every major platform, as well.

For myself -- I'm 100% sure I can make a better-sounding mix in Logic  
than in Pro Tools? How do I know that? Because I don't know squat  
about ProTools! :)
