Logic Pro X vs Studio One

Good range of high quality synths: analog, FM, wavetable, string modulation, sampler, organ, clarinet, epiano.

The Logic Pro X DAW has made an effort to keep clutter out of the equation so producers can focus on the music.

As of 1/21/2015, Apple has released an update that allows users to upgrade from Logic to Logic Pro X.

If you take music production seriously then one day maybe you'll enter professional studio, where you will most likely find the Logic DAW along with Pro Tools.

The initial download of Logic Pro X gives users 2gb of samples, but the DAW automatically downloads 57gb of samples once the Logic Pro X DAW is installed.

It is easy, intuitive, and easy-to-implement.

This program costs US$200 and must be bought from the app store.

The Logic Pro X DAW lets users make their own effects using with javascript leveraging its Scripter API.

Works with new controllers like Seaboard Rise, Linnstrument, Continuum Board, etc.

Different kinds of instruments all around.

Poly aftertouch, sysex and two modes of controlling external midi instruments.

In order to allow more control, the Logic Pro X DAW has added a free iPad app called Logic Remote.

Logic Remote is available in several different views, and is capable of MIDI input and parameter adjustment. It comes with a full library and browser. Navigation is easy as well via the navigation bar along the top of the screen.

Many interesting views are available, such as chord strips. This view allows users to play a series of preset chords that are already in the right key. Gestures are supported with this app, so loop speed and other properties can quickly be adjusted.

This app connects to Logic through WiFi, so the app and program should be running on the same network.

The Logic Pro X DAW is optimized for CPU usage, which makes the DAW more stable.

Allows to create high quality drum tracks even if you are not a drummer.

Switch in to Alchemy on the synth and you get an intuitive template to adjust wavetables and eq visually, plus various modes and styles. Handy tool.

This includes: Prodigy - Invaders Must Die (everything except guitars), John Powell - How to train your dragon, other works, and Tycho (until 2011 when he switched to Reaper to finish his album). Though , Still to this day uses Logic for composing.
Lets also not forget Boris Blank that in essence is Yello, and One of the pioneers of electronic based music.

I prefer mac than windows for music production. And because of this is really hard to beat the deal of logic. All its quality plugins and community make learn to use it very easy. I love the youtube channel Why logic pro rules is all there.

Originally an Ableton Live feature, Logic Pro allows you to record live loops and experiment with the best combinations, and drag your loops into the arrangement view to complete your work.

I think from all the old DAWs (Pro tools, Cubase, Digital performer etc) Logic is the one that looks better and well organized.

For ideas and working remotely, you can use garageband on your Iphone or iPad and then send that information to logic to give it the professional end.

The Studio One DAW doesn't expect users to deal with a lot of windows, answer questions, or use the mouse excessively. This DAW is known for lettings users be creative without getting in the way.

All components are laid out in an understandable fashion and almost everything is drag and drop.

The Real Melodyne is integrated in the actual DAW. No other DAW is set up to streamline Melodyne.

Hovering over different parts of the events in the arrange window activates different tools.

Use the 'scratch pad' work on multiple versions for your song without leaving the main window.

When a plugin takes time to process a sound, the Studio One DAW detects the gap and compensates.

Performance is rock solid and very efficient, even on lower spec computers.

Possible to use key commands from Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, etc.

Chord track can be used by inserting chords or getting them from an inserted track.

Studio one has a page dedicated specifically to mastering which can be very useful when trying to finish your song.

This view is very powerful because it not only “shows” the MIDI notes as a score, but it also lets you add, edit and remove notes in standard music notation. It includes all the formatting rules, articulations, note values, clefs and general symbols from Presonus’ Notion software.

Allows you to go from the studio to the stage or stream with other musicians through the interface. You can create a Setlist using your Songs created in Studio One, and combine them with a mix of live instruments, pre-recorded tracks, and virtual instruments.

Each song in the Setlist can have its own unique instrumentation. Songs in your set can be rearranged on the fly using drag-and-drop, and any element from your Song files can be added to your Show via simple copy-and-paste or direct export.

Switching to Performance view with a meter and customisable control over each parameter, means you can adjust in real-time while on Stage.

Can't complain about Studio One so much. It is almost perfect.

Have you ever wanted a delay on just a word or so. No need to automate or move to a separate track. No need to print it to the clip and run out of room on the audio file. Simply amazing feature.

Clip Gain Envelopes represent a new layer of gain introduced in Studio One 5, which is independent from the audio event as well as the volume automation. This feature is ideal for applying gain correction before the signal hits the inserts, specially useful when dealing with extremely dynamic vocal tracks and sections in general that are too soft or too loud.

The user can create breakpoints within the clip by clicking on the curve, and then dragging either up or down in order to increment or reduce the clip’s gain. These gain modifications will be shown on the waveform.

The process is simple, fast, and extremely effective.

Retrospective Recording captures everything you play on your keyboard or controller—even without hitting record! It works invisibly in the background on a track-by-track basis.
