Cubase was the company that developed the VST standard that AU came out of, but for the record, Propellerheads was the creator of the first VI: Rebirth. The all pretty much do audio and midi, have built in virtual instruments and effects. Protools is the main Hardware and DSP based DAW, and in north america Logic is the big sequencer/daw with Cubase being the leader in Europe. Over time, the whole scene evolved into today, where every DAW does midi, and direct to disc recording. Opcode also was the leader when it came to developing the midi spec we take for granted today, and standard midi files. Opcode, who had Vision, became the first 3d party app to add on direct to disc recording, and became the first audio/midi daw. Midi apps evolved into DAWS: Logic came from the Atari days, and in the beginning there was Performer on the Mac, Notator (one day to be Logic ) on the Atari, as well as SMPTE Tracks Pro, an awesome Midi sequencer that died off. There were other system, and some, like the RADAR, were based on hard drives and great A?D conversion, better than Digidesigns, BUT digi was already so far ahead once TDM became the norm, that it was very hard for other types of DAW's to really catch on. It became like a Studer (I imagine only a few people will know what I'm talking about, so the rest use google and find out some of the history of the recording arts -) every 'pro' studio that got into digital audio used Protools. It wasn't designed for midi work, just audio, and had hardware DSP available at a time when computers didn't have the power that they do today. If you look at the history of DAW's in general, Pro Tools was the first real multitrack system that was affordable, and understandable. But am I missing something? Should I perhaps have both? I honestly can't imagine a better DAW than Logic 9, which I love dearly.

How, when it comes down to it, does it compare to Logic? Or should they be compared at all?

Is it really all that everyone says it is? Never really seen it other than a few screen caps and in music stores. All I wanted to know, does it work with Logic.Īnyway, long story longer-I've never used Pro Tools. Mackie's release this year of firewire mixers that work with Pro Tools was heralded as a huge breakthrough, blah blah blah. It is, and has been for some time, the industry 'standard.' Yet everywhere you turn, all you seem to hear out there is Pro Tools, Pro Tools, Pro Tools. Logic to me is everything a DAW should be and much, much more.

I started with Cakewalk through Sonar 2, moved on to Cubase/Nuendo, then finally got tired of dealing with all the PC driver issues and switched to Logic, starting with 8 and am now using 9. It’s still mostly a sequencer.I've used most of the major DAWs in my time. When it comes to DAW for film/video, Pro Tools is still at the top, NUENDO and Pyramix are gaining momentum in the film world, Logic is not even a contender in the top teir, maybe more so in local and regional video post, for broadcast or event video. When it comes to sequencers, Steinberg Cubase/Nuendo and MOTU Digital Performer has most of the market. Logic has some great potential, but I don’t think Apple has done enough to give it a real edge, it’s still reaks of Emagic. Those are the two that I use professionally, and what you will find in the pro film and video world. Yes, the Pro Tools MIDI environment leaves something to be desired, and Logic has been a sequencer much longer.īut, with that being said, if you are looking for a serious alternative to Pro Tools LE, without going up the HD systems, I would look at Steinberg NUENDO. At that point, it makes more sense to go PT HD. If we are comparing Logic Pro to Pro Tools LE, then I’d say Logic has PT beat in several ways, if we are just talking raw track counts and even effects playback, and even routing flexibility, and the distributed processing is cool, but costly as it requires additional G5’s.

I’m a PT user myself, as well as other DAW software such as Steinberg Nuendo. But, you probably also know it’s limitations. If that’s true, you know how simple and efficient in many ways Pro Tools is for recording and editing audio, and audio for film/video. Sounds like you are maybe a Pro-Tools user now, am I right? Since no one has replied, I suppose I’ll chime in.
