| Well.. I started using Logic and PT when they were BOTH FREE (using the PT FREE version, cracked to 32 tracks). However, I bought both years ago.
They are different programs (very much so then, but still today, tho less so than ever).
Logic is popular because it is superior for composing, and thanks to Apple, yes a lot of "kiddies" know about it... that doesn't hurt anyone. In fact, I'm feeling like it's superior for tracking these days too!! But could certainly be a personal thing. Anyone else loving the 'quick swipe comping'?? Cot damn!
I can only imagine the posting board fits jbuehler was throwing when "I got a cracked copy of FruityLoops on my mom's PC" was all the rage. At least you could consider we're evolving then if you want to parallel Logic with that FL phenomenon.
I have been a legit owner of Logic since version 6, and have been using it since 4.6 on OS9.
I have also owned PT LE nearly as long.
They are different programs, with different backgrounds.
The fact that is it free is HARDLY the only reason it's popular with the newjacks.
Also, it wasn't until Logic 8 that they dropped the price to $700 (at the same time removing the dongle). Prior to that they had the same Emagic price skeme, which had the Platinum/Pro version at $1000 |
