Dp Or Logic Pro 8? Why Not Both?, The Experiment Options

[deepplay]

I'm posting this thread to request your opinions and experiences in using Logic Pro 8 IN ADDITION to DP. How dare could I ask for this you ask? Well, give a read to the DP Corner posted at audiomidi.com titled "DP or Logic Pro 8" and then come back and share your thoughts. As I begin my experiment with using both I plan to post my findings here. So what do you think? Can they or should they both co-exist on the same system? Is there a reason to have both? How do you use them? Why would you or would you not switch?

jlaudon, DP is a PC Software, it has been around much longer than Logic. PC always had a jump on Macintosh. If you had a Mac you used, if you could afford it Pro-Tools. The second choice was Cubase. Logic, which was emagic, a Germany company, rival to Cubase (Steinberg) Macintosh purchased emagic several years ago. Macintosh does not really develop Logic. They are still asking for help from emagic and those guys are in Majorca spend the millions they got on the Buy-Out.

Macintosh is more concerned with Hardware. They are too cheap, can you believe it, too cheap to bring in Musical People to develop Logic. I have heard about the MIDI Shortcomings in Logic, fortunately my music is based in Audio. There, I think it sounds as good or better than Pro-Tools.

As far as DP goes? I only know about it from Magazines. Out of all the Studio's and musicians I know, I have never once seen what DP looks like on a Screen. But, whatever works for you, "Do It". I certainly don't go around promoting Macintosh Software, but, I will take Mac Gear over a PC. I've seen in "Real Time" both machines function... Everything works 100% on my Mac. Macintosh does not allow "Bootleg" companies to just introduce themselves into the Mac System. I have used Macintosh since 1992 and never had a virus! 16 years. Of course my machine will explode now.

Whatever works best for you as a musician or music creator, use it. However, I don't think you will find many DP users in 440... Macintosh has been developing GarageBand, but it's sort of like "Fun Research And Development".

I've asked this question before: Does anyone know anyone who has had a "Main Stream" Radio Hit Song using GarageBand?
