I´m afraid i cant escape the digital age anymore, so therefore i´m in the market for either protools or logic (or a third option?). I have recorded on a tascam MS-16 but more often than not the bands just want it on the harddrive, for them to take home. Therefore i have to invest in a PC and a suitable program. The question is; how much RAM and how powerful does the PC have to be and what software should i pick? My hot shot producer friend shout protools but a lot of my not-so-well-paid colleagues says logic. I have tried protools and it is very easy(!) but how is the perfomance?

Logic is very powerful but I think it is so complicated that you´ll spend 80% of the time trying to find out where to find the things you want and how to do things that in Pro Tools you can do in a second .

I´ve been working with Pro Tools since 1995 and I can tell you it´s the most user-friendly software you can find . The truth is , other softwares have always tryed to copy it. And also, you should consider that working with Logic you´ll be restricted to Mac, which is much more expensive, unless you use Logic´s older versions.

Good luck

Yes, Logic is a bit more complicated, but like anything else, once you learn the keystrokes, you can do anything in a second, just like ProTools and better. ProTools is limited by the fact that the software is proprietary, and you can only use Digidesign hardware with it. It's really a matter of preference, but I will say that I used to recommend Logic because the tech support was better. Not any more. My last few tech support phone calls to Apple have been complete wastes of time. The best way to learn about Logic (or any software for that matter) is to join a forum like this and talk to real users of the software.

I don't know but the question is up again with Protools 9. As now you can use other audio interfaces than Avid/M-Audio ones. Protools vs Logic can be considered very strongly.

Same as Protools vs Cubase for PC users.

Pro Tools and Logic Pro are both excellent daws,

Pro Tools: is born for audio editing, you should use it for managing multiple audio files or for audio/video syncing.
is mac/pc, the important hardware think is hardrive speed! So, you need more hardisks (usually one for the OS and one for boucing) and they must be faster! (since protools write everything into hdd)

Logic Pro, is pure creativity! (with limited audio editing), is mac only, and it wants lots of ram! if you search a daw that lets you compose easily and faster Logic is yours.

I use both biggrin.gif

hope that helps!
cheers
