From Our Research Team:

Logic is bigger and better than ever!

Logic Studio from Apple is an all-in-one software solution for creating, performing, and recording your music. Inside you'll find Logic Pro 8, the centerpiece and main recording and editing interface. There's also a huge number of virtual instruments included to trigger your creativity. Main Stage is a new application designed to let you take you virtual instruments and effects to the stage. Soundtrack Pro 2 is geared toward cinematic sound and post-production. To round out the bundle, there's a slew of effects and instruments with professionally designed presets to maximize your music-making experience. Logic Studio is the natural progression of Apple's premier DAW software and a Logic-al choice for anyone making music on a Mac!

Apple Logic Studio at a Glance:
  • An amazing tool for any studio
  • Main Stage makes Logic great for live use
  • Take your inspiration to the screen with Soundtrack Pro 2
  • Studio Instruments: play with 40 integrated instrument plug-ins
  • Studio Effects to inspire your creativity
  • Studio Sound Library with a huge array of sounds

An amazing tool for any studio
The Arrange window in Logic Pro 8 consolidates production activities in a single, elegantly-designed workspace. You can record multiple takes; cut, move, or stretch audio with sample accuracy; browse channel strip settings; audition Apple Loops; and drop chords onto your lead sheet - all from one central space, without managing multiple windows. Production-ready templates, a streamlined track setup window, and dynamic channel strip creation get you up and running fast. Improved ReWire support provides easy integration with other music applications. Region-based take management speeds up multitake recording, editing, and processing. An expandable take folder makes it simple to recall overdubs, and entire take folders can be moved and edited like regions. With breakthrough Quick Swipe comping, you can simply swipe over the best portions of each take to create a seamless comp, complete with transition-smoothing crossfades. Work faster and with greater precision using powerful new features like snap-to-transient selection, graphical time stretching, and sample-accurate editing in the Arrange window. Logic Pro 8 allows for end-to-end surround production with multichannel tracks and busses. True Surround and multi-mono support lets you use any surround, stereo or mono plug-ins within any surround project. Save your key commands, channel strip settings and plug-in settings to your .Mac account for easy backup, sharing, and portability. A simple serial number replaces the USB dongle and lets you make music without the hassle of extraneous hardware.

Main Stage
Built for live performance, MainStage lets keyboardists, guitarists, and other musicians perform with software instruments and effects through a full-screen interface designed specifically for the stage. MainStage features a stunning 3D interface created for the stage, providing just the information you need for your live show. Get started quickly using keyboard templates featuring Studio Instruments and Studio Effects, or build your own custom rack with personalized sounds, layers, and splits. MainStage helps you quickly customize your live rig by offering a wide selection of templates designed for different instruments and performance styles. From keyboards and drum pads to pedal boards and control surfaces, you can use any MIDI or USB controller with MainStage. Find the perfect tone right out of the box with guitar templates featuring Guitar Amp Pro, or build your own custom rig that you can control with hardware pedal boards. MainStage provides stability under even the most demanding conditions, so you can perform live with confidence.

Soundtrack Pro 2
Completing the bridge between sound and picture, Soundtrack Pro 2 allows musicians to take their creative inspirations to the screen. Comprehensive editing tools, surround mixing, and seamless integration with Final Cut Pro make audio post-production a breeze. A single-window design and an integrated multichannel audio editor simplify the audio post-production process and let you focus on creating and editing great sound. Record, edit, and restore dialogue quickly, easily, and with precision using the Multitake Editor, Lift & Stamp audio matching, and automatic find and fix features. Create mixes for film and video projects in both stereo and cinematic surround. Save time and effort by creating simultaneous surround and stereo mixes in the same project. Professional tools designed for post-production include spectrum view editing, tape-style scrubbing, and the multichannel Waveform Editor. Create pristine soundtracks using thousands of royalty-free sound effects and music beds, or customize sounds with action-based editing. Accurately spot sound to picture with the 3-up multipoint spotting display. Seamlessly collaborate with the world of Final Cut editors and easily share projects and files between Soundtrack Pro 2 and other popular audio and video applications.

Studio Instruments
Featuring 40 powerful instrument plug-ins seamlessly integrated into Logic Pro 8 and MainStage, Studio Instruments provides the largest software instrument package available in a single box. Build big beats with Ultrabeat, expanded with more than 50 new drum kits featuring 400 new patterns and over 1000 new sounds. Step automation and Full View drum grid editing give you more power than ever. Create expressive and unusual sounds in mono, stereo, and full surround with the world's most advanced component modeling instrument. New True Surround features allow you to animate sound through surround space. Produce beautiful synth beds and driving bass lines with an array of FM, subtractive, and analog-modeled synthesizers. The flagship ES2 synth now features surround panning and modulation effects and a simplified Macro view. Play over 1300 EXS instruments included in the Studio Sound Library, and quickly make sample instruments and sample libraries with the integrated, redesigned EXS Editor. Play fully modeled simulations of vintage keyboards, including classic organs, clavs, and electric pianos.

Studio Effects
Enhance music productions, live performance, and post-production projects with 80 professional effect plug-ins. Build creative delay effects in stereo or full surround with the new multi-tap delay plug-in. Recall classic tones with a guitar amp plug-in featuring 11 amp models, 15 speaker cabinets, microphone controls, and a dedicated effects section. Transform audio and create shifting fields of sound using advanced reverb, modulation, vintage, warped, and delay plug-ins. Reproduce the reverberant qualities of some of the world's most distinctive locations in stereo or full surround - with over 130 new spaces and new surround controls. Fine-tune your audio production with a range of superb-sounding plug-ins. A new Surround Compressor lets you compress multichannel surround sources, and a redesigned Multipressor displays all controls for all bands in a single window.

Studio Sound Library
Thousands of channel strip settings, Apple Loops, sound effects, and EXS sampled instruments provide creative fuel for music creation, production, and performance. New surround content allows you to build beautiful, immersive productions. The Studio Sound Library comes with five Jam Pack collections, featuring redesigned content that incorporates the professional sound quality of Studio Instruments and Studio Effects. 400 professionally-designed channel strip settings offer combinations of Studio Instruments and Studio Effects that can be used right out of the box or customized to fit your personal sound. Move your productions into surround using 600 royalty-free surround channel strip settings and over 1000 multichannel sound effects and music beds. 18,000 royalty-free Apple Loops let you build a rhythm, grab a melodic phrase, or simply sketch out an arrangement.

Holy Cow

This is the most outstanding DAW I have ever used. I have used Pro-tools and Cubase, and neither one even compares (for the money). The effects and the sound library are worth twice as much. It was s... read more [+]o easy to start. And you can import from garage band. If you are looking for an inexpensive easy to use and great sounding DAW this is the one for you. close [-]

I started out with Garage Band with a Macbook, that said, I always knew that logic was superior in all terms, (even though Garage Band has now some awesome stuff), but I made the switch anyways. What ... read more [+]can I say, if you are a composer, musician, engineer, or producer, whatever you are (even film composer), you will be greatly satisfied with this DAW, I also want to mention that I recently bought PT8 and its nice and all, but I've using Logic for nearly 3 years now, and man if you buy Logic Studio, you won't never ever look back...

Absolutely Logical

by Greg from CT

Music Background: UMASS Lowell SRT Major / Drummer
Logic is far more intuitive than any other DAW out there. Anything you could possibly want to do can be achieved without any manuals or training. Everything is just right where it should be. The learn... read more [+]ing curve is almost non existent to get some simple recordings down. Once you learn the various keyboard commands such as the zoom controls and various functions of the option key, that is when the true capabilities of the program are unleashed. Quick swipe take comping speeds up your workflow and there are plenty of excellent plug-ins and virtual instruments included. Better than Pro Tools without the additional cost. The Apogee hardware integration is another huge benefit. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
