ThanksIn my opinion, your head is in the wrong place. It's the first DAW that's given Logic competition in terms of being composer-friendly, in my experience.Īll this being said, you won't get actually good string, woodwind, or brass samples without shelling out for better libraries. I'm less familiar with Ableton but I think its interface is great and I've been impressed with its sounds, too. If I had to, I'd feel just fine about making a whole record with nothing but Logic plugins. The effects plugins are pretty damn good, too.

If you already have a Mac, Logic is a no-brainer, in my opinion: the cost of admission gets you the Alchemy synthesizer, which alone is worth way more than two hundred bucks, plus very useable drums, acoustic sampled instruments, electric pianos, good old-school synths, and one of my favorite Hammond organ emulators on the market. They both come with very good sounds - not universally top-notch, but many of Logic's native plugins are shockingly good, particularly given its relatively low price tag. I think the two best DAWs for composing are Logic (in first place) and Ableton (in second place). Reason is already a bit of a disco box, so I think I've got that covered. I'm not doing much loop based stuff, so I'm thinking Ableton or FL might not be for me. Should I just put the dough into some decent strings and skip the new DAW? Or will Logic or one of the others have a fair amount of actually usable samples to start with? Or is the workflow so much better in another DAW?

I am seriously thinking about it, but I'm also wondering about the new Studio One, or any other DAW that might be cool for material with a fair amount of virtual instruments (not like film scoring, but more than a rock band) tempo, time, and key changes, etc. It has been suggested that I try out Logic for writing. It's a bit more proggy and could benefit from some decent sample libraries. Lately, I've been writing my own stuff from scratch. With some, I do a fair amount of writing accompaniment parts, or executing those parts as suggested by the talent keys, strings, brass, woodwind. I like the new Reason Rack Plug In because I feel like I'm just using PT.
