As a long-term Pro Tools user, I’ve lately found myself working out of a studio that swears by Apple’s Logic Pro 8. Now, I ‘m not trying to open up a can of worms here, but it’s time to bring up the whole “Pro Tools VS Logic” debate. In my view, as both programs are pretty crazy , I think the final decision ultimately rests upon workflow. For SEX-ED, we’ve managed to create an efficient method with Pro Tools as the central heart. We’ve incorporated a small rack of hardware, several software plug-in’s, and various live recording applications to make magic happen. Now, I’ll admit that our system may appear more complicated that an all ‘in the box’ solution, but its simply a different way of getting things done – best of all, we’ve never felt restricted creatively and the process remains enjoyable. Naturally, Logic users will argue that with a larger pallet of options (available cheap!) and slick integration, production becomes easier. They also rave about the high quality sound engine and plug-in’s. Well, whether or not the claims are true, I’m going to take it upon myself to find out…. how else can one really make up their mind? I’ve read a multitude of arguments, technical and creative, fighting for one program over the other. However, I’m thinking that after some testing, we’ll find a way to incorporate the best of both worlds (even if it’s in a small way) …. just have to learn some new short-cuts lol! Nonetheless, I’d love to see what other people think (preferable users who have experience with both apps!). I’ve included 2 promo videos for each… maybe they’ll fuel some emotion :P OH! And let’s remember, no matter what side of the fence you sit on, let’s not be moopsters about this (see below – creativity busters).
