Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

seems easy enough to check. set up a keyboard sequencer to play the 
same thing through the same preamps and converters then record in PT 
and Logic. Bounce down. then take the audio recorded in each one, and 
move it to the opposite program and bounce down. then put all four 
audio files in our file area - and we have a poll to see how many 
people think each one sounds the best. I guess it would need to be a 
carefully chosen patch - maybe an acoustic guitar where you can hear 
the attack and sustain of the notes.

             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! :)
