Quotes from Logic users.

Some of the best in the music industry tell you what they love about Logic.

With Logic there’s so much you can do with your sound, the possibilities are endless. Since I’ve been using Logic, my music sounds a lot better and a lot cleaner. It brought my music to today’s standards — even beyond today’s standards.

What Logic does is allow even non-traditionally trained musicians to express themselves in a way that everyone can understand. I never took music lessons, but with Logic’s dexterous sequencing capabilities, I get all my ideas down. The name “Logic” says it all... If you think it, you can realize it, you can figure out a way to get it all done within one program.

Logic is the most comfortable and intuitive environment for building music, and I use that description consciously. I like the idea of talking about music in architectural terms, and Logic lets me build anything I can dream up.

Logic is packed with extreme studio power to go. The Logic instruments are incredible — just the ease of making a drum kit in the EXS24. And the quality of the sound is incomparable. What’s so cool about Logic is the ability to be condensed in one piece of equipment, just Logic and a pair of headphones.

With Logic you can really capture the sound of acoustic instruments better than with any system I’ve used. Logic seems to bring out the right ambiance and sound for each instrument, that’s why lately our live instruments are always recorded in Logic.

With my laptop and Apogee Symphony I now have the ability to go anywhere in the world, record, program, mess with, and mix, always within the comfort of my own setup. As a consequence I am more likely to capture that killer take, that magical moment that I as a producer, writer, and just plain old lover of music am constantly striving to get.

Logic makes the imagination something you can hear. You can export the idea directly from your brain. Never before has one piece of software become such a staple for writing, producing, and recording all things amazing. If we couldn’t use Logic digitally, we’d rather go back to analog than use anything else.

In the larger sessions, we have a main control room running Logic and loads of satellite systems running Logic even in the drum room straight out of a laptop, no additional audio hardware, so people can constantly bring ideas to the project. It keeps the fluidity of the project so much stronger. Logic can accommodate all the different stages of the project.

It’s the design of Logic that I love. The way Logic is laid out is conducive to actual music-making; it’s easy to see where you are and where everything is and it just feels comfortable. For guys like me that aren’t as technical, Logic is a very important tool to facilitate my creative process.

The computers are powerful enough now to drive all the audio and plug-ins internally; it doesn’t make any sense to go through external DSP hardware or external CPU power. It makes so much more sense to use a native system like Logic that is very effective. Everything you need to do you can do with Logic.

Logic became a jolt, a whole new way for me to progress and do things that has made me the most excited I’ve been since I got my first bass guitar. As a songwriter I use Logic one way, then I can seamlessly take it to the next level production-wise in the same environment. I don’t have to move it to another application.

For a musician, it’s about the simplicity of your tools. With Logic, I walk around with one computer and one piece of software. It’s my whole recording studio, and I can use it live on stage and everything works flawlessly.

Neal EvansProducer, Songwriter, Keyboardist, Bassist of Soulive

What amazes me most about Logic is that it does everything. After years and years of working with software and equipment that is difficult and byzantine, it’s amazing to work with software that’s so intuitive and comprehensive.

Once you know Logic, you come to appreciate its power, how it can adapt to your way of thinking, organizing, improvising. I’ve tried most all of the software available and Logic is the most comprehensive, as far as the amount of plug-ins you can use, CPU usage, the timing and the score.

Speed is the ultimate in my world, in whatever we do in the studio. Being able to call up a natural-sounding instrument quickly without having to go through hoops, I just love that speed and the sound in Logic. I’m a freak for authenticity because people don’t want to deal with something that doesn’t sound authentic.

When performing live, reliability is the main thing, you need something that’s going to work night after night and I have that with Logic. Visually I’m very comfortable with Logic, it’s so logically laid out. Now with the integration with Apple, it’s so reassuring that it all works together with the platform having everything designed in the same house.

What you want from your computer is transparency, you have to have a system that’s not going to get in your way, that’s why I work with Logic, the thinking process, the mind behind it, and the innovations within Logic make a huge difference to the way I can be imaginative without any interruptions for any technical reasons. Without Logic I wouldn’t have a career.

John PowellFilm Composer

There isn’t really anything that competes with Logic as far as being able to layer up something that sounds like a record without having to go beyond my laptop… and being flexible and stable to run a fairly complex live show with multiple patch changes and all my bass parts.

It’s hugely important that Logic gives me seriously professional audio engineering capabilities and is also a fun creative tool. The capability to do a creative remix and build a surround mix in Logic at the same time, experimenting with an ES1 synth, manipulating Bitcrusher, spinning all of them around the room, is awesome.

Logic is the ultimate songwriter’s tool. From the spark of an idea to the final mix, for Dallas and I, Logic has everything we need and running native with the new Apogee Symphony system is the ultimate sound that we’ve been looking for.

The feel that Logic gives you is great. I love the fact that you can get a similar feel in Logic to emulate machines like the MPC with Logic’s groove templates. It’s the best software for this.

Logic is the perfect comfortable digital living room that I live in for sixteen hours a day. You can shape it how you want it to be, like the way you can make your favorite combinations of plug-ins with channel strip settings that you can recall in no time.
