Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Logic Pro X to produce background tracks for YouTube videos, both in shoe reviews and longer story-driven content. The videos are produced with Adobe Premiere, and then the soundtrack is finished in Logic.

Pros and Cons

Simple, intuitive user interface.
Wide range of compatible third-party plugins.
Excellent built-in VSTs.

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

Most Important Features

Live instrument recording.
High-quality built-in plugins.
Compatibility with other Apple devices.

Return on Investment

More views on YouTube videos.
Increased quality of story-driven videos.
Saved time producing and recording podcast episodes.

Alternatives Considered

Avid Pro Tools and Propellerhead Reason

Most DAWs have the same basic features and can get the job done, but Logic Pro X is simply more intuitive and familiar for Mac users. The interface looks very polished and is easy to read whereas competitors look clunky or overwhelming.

Likelihood to Recommend

Logic Pro X is excellent for anyone already in the Apple ecosystem because it's based on a similar style of user interface and integrates well with other Apple products (iPad, etc.). It's great for recording live instruments, as well as electronic music production and podcasting, etc.

An excellent all-purpose DAW for music and podcasting.
