It’s striking to me though how much us Logic users are truly on an island. Now I wasn’t expecting companies to throw themselves at WLPR the moment I sent them an email. I will still forward your message along to the appropriate party here, but wanted to be candid that I think it is unlikely we’ll get traction here on this one. Since Apple only sells Logic Pro direct and does not have a vendor channel with us, we don’t sell or represent their DAW, unfortunately. Thanks for asking and for your consideration. I then decided to reach out to a prominent online retailer about sponsoring a series of posts. So I reached out to some companies about reviewing their interfaces. Buying and testing every device around is just not a possibility for me. I want gear that integrates tightly with Logic.īut I’m not made of money. Most “best of” articles offer not much more than a huge list of every available piece of gear.

I think this is an important question to answer. What interfaces? What controllers? What are the very best tools for Logic users to use with their DAW of choice? What audio devices seamlessly integrate with Logic Pro X? So for the last year I’ve been wondering – Writing a song entirely in Logic using only your Mac’s keyboard is, of course, possible.īut more often than not we need other equipment to make music. A control surface of more depth than any MIDI controller could hope to achieve.īut nonetheless, we still need microphones, controllers and audio interfaces. An app that turns our iPhones and iPads into a Control Surface specific to Logic Pro X. Of course, I would be remiss not to mention Apple does deliver a tightly integrated experience for Logic users as well. Almost like we’re on an island onto ourselves. So while Logic comes with far more for far less than other DAWs, it can be a little lonely over here on planet Logic. Devices that have reshaped our culture, experiences, and entire way of life. No, Apple’s bread and butter is computers, phones, tablets, watches and more. They’re introduced to an entire ecosystem of integrated devices and software that play well with Studio One.Īnd I think it’s fair to be a little bit envious of other DAW users for that. When one chooses Studio One as their primary DAW, they’re not just buying a piece of software. PreSonus has done the same for Studio One. From control surfaces to interfaces, they’re invested in the pro audio world. Not only does Avid own Pro Tools, but they also create all sorts of devices and software to complement Pro Tools. But I think it’s safe to say that Avid is best known for its pro audio tools. That’s kind of a weird spot to be in, isn’t it?Īvid, the parent company of Pro Tools, does more than just audio. Unlike Pro Tools, Studio One, or Ableton users, Logic isn’t owned and maintained by a company whose primary focus is audio.

Us Logic users are in a unique basket over here in music production land.
