yeah. try working hand in hand with a professional studio, or better yet try working on a soundtrack for a movie with metro. professional studios do not use metro. when you get tired of writing playstation (not saying you make playstation music, kaboombahchuck) music you have to find something else.

people need to know what is professional and what is project/playtime. why would anyone want to waste time learning or using mediocre tools.

you do not need a tech degree to use pro tools or logic. you do not need a fat bank account. you don't even have to keep patching the software.

you can get pro tools free. you can buy logic big box and do anything right out of the box you could want in a semi-pro/pro studio. you could buy an mbox and get pro tools le as a bundle.

don't be mislead, earmuffs. you want to learn don't you. you asked what was good. i haven't seen to many posts about metro being used in top studios. these large music application companies (logic and pro tools) have given you an option with scaled down, but not disfunctional software. use what the pros use. you will be happier knowing that your music will come out pro quality, and if you have to go to a major lable studio...you won't be left in the dark. you will have the knowledge and lingo to talk to the engineer and get the results you want. try going to virgin or what ever indy label you like studio and say "well in metro you can click click here and click click there." i am sure you will not be understood.

anyway--he asked about logic. i have been using logic for sometime now. very, very powerfull. you have full control over the routing and environment. very good with video. nothing i can say that is discriminating about the app. i learned the interface and did not want to change. with the freeze option in logic 6 you can cut your cpu usage down tremendously. i mean way down. you have full automation. you have vst and apple audio unit support. you get a great wav/aiff audio editor. event editor, matrix editor, score editor. you could go on and on about the power tools built into logic.

i am not trying to question anyone's professional ability as a muscian or engineer with this post. just thought his question should be answered with some depth. not just a back and forth my app is better waste of time explanation. thank you.
