    It has a free trial, which is very nice if someone just needs temporary access to use, and it's not an expensive program overall. It may not be the most robust program available, but it gets the job done at a good price point. It might not be the best if you need something that allows transcriptionists to collaborate (i.e., working on the same file at the same time).

    Logic Pro X has been particularly well-suited for recording, mixing, and mastering our full-band audio content. We have used it to capture several songs each year and have mixed and mastered them to professional levels for posting to streaming services. We have been able to use it with our current digital console as a great DAW, seamlessly connecting for the 'live' recording of several services. It is also well-suited for the mixing and editing of podcast and sermon content. Logic Pro X is not the best for mixing livestream audio, in a live environment, even with the added plug-ins and effects available. There is just enough lag that it was not the best option for this usage

    • Cost efficient - This is a fairly low-cost transcription software that can be downloaded quickly via web
    • Easy to use - New users can get the hang of this software pretty quickly
    • Customizable - Foot pedal controls and other preferences can be set based on what feels intuitive to the user

    • Incredible breadth of features... it feels like there's literally nothing the program can't do
    • Time stretching... amazing features to change tempo and length with adding sonic weirdness of pitch changes
    • Vast library of virtual instruments and effects included in purchase

    Cons
    NCH Software
    • Interface - The look and feel of the software is quite dated and could use a refresh
    • Enhancing audio - When we need to manipulate an audio file to try to enhance it (amplifying, for example), we have to use another program to do so
    • Hotkeys - Setting up hotkeys may not be as intuitive for new users as would be ideal

    • Could use an Abelton-like synth/effect rack with a quick view.
    • Some built-in plugins are old and need a refresh.
    • Frequent crashes.

    Like every DAW, it takes some time and getting used to, but Logic's tools and interface just make sense to anyone who is familiar with Apple products and music tools.

    The user community of Logic Pro X is vibrant, responsive, and lively. There are many great forums out there where you can solve any problem you encounter, whether it's sound card latency, a certain plugin not working, audio routing, multitrack issues, or virtually anything else you run into. The community is so helpful that I'm giving Logic Pro X a 10 in this department, despite having never contacted their official support department. I've never had to, since there is such a great user community.

    We use several different audio editors, the main reason for this is to have software available to cover most staff experience.
    However, we find that a good portion of new staff were familiar with Logic Pro X, meaning that there was reduced training time involved by having the software available. This was perhaps the main reason we made the purchase decision and this fact is testament to how prolific Logic Pro X is in the audio community, you'd be silly not to have it available in any business where content creation is important.

    Return on Investment
    NCH Software
    • Very few 'inaudibles' (spots where we're unable to decipher what was said)
    • Transcribing allows analysts to read scripts rather than listen to audio files, which saves time and money
    • Low cost of software

    • Logic has allowed us to quickly and expertly edit audio for publishing online.
    • It's made a way for us to share projects easily between users.
