How Good Are Logic's Virtual Instruments? Options

[Scottspain]

I've been told by many that they are better than Pro Tools, but are they good compared to Reason and such?

I use logic pro 8 and have found the synths to be excellent for sound design - you can create some fantastic sounds in synths such as the ES2 by modulating various sections of this instrument. Ultrabeat is a rhythm sequencer which can be used to produce/create great sounding drums, although I also use this instrument for gating synth lines to produce creative rhythms so it is a very versatile step sequencer/drum synthesizer. The ESX24 sampler is excellent for creating, for instance, glitchy drum noises from original samples. A very professional package overall, which has been used in mainstream recording studios since the mid-nineties.

Logic is my main core audio and virtual synth engine i have to say i also use reason at times but with just logic alone you get more than a bargain deal it has some of the best virtual synths out there and you will also find great presets to start creating from the get go
if you want you can even add on your favorite plugin to expand on it
the only thing it may take a little time to understand tthe ins and out in logic programming but you can find lots of tutorial video out there (mac pro video is a good place ) once you master that you will be amaze .
