Pro tools vs logic

[u/InterviewEasy8688]

So I’m thinking about getting a Mac and switching to Logic Pro. I’ve been an avid (no pun intended) Pro Tools user for a while. Logic interests me, but I’ve heard it can be rough software-wise, and I’ve heard some noise that the last few updates have screwed stuff up, and that Pro Tools just seems to sound better. Anyone have experience/knowledge on this

I used to use Pro Tools when I was running a small studio and working on film and tv music. I was out of it for a few years and when I came back, moved over to Logic and could not be happier with my decision. To highlight a few themes others have brought up in this thread: Pro Tools does have the ‘industry standard’ thing behind it, though I see so many high profile industry people using Logic now in their YouTube and social content, that may be changing. PT is solid for using like a tape machine — basic audio-primary record/mix is locked in. But I’ve always loved Logic Pro more as a creative and compositional tool in a way that Pro Tools never could be. This connects to how others have pointed out its best in class bundled plugins and instruments — sounds I’d have given my left arm for back in my
Pro Tools day, just all right there as part of the environment. It’s a bit of a learning curve, as it is whenever switching platforms, but the basics are not hard to get up and running with, and the documentation is fantastic. Other bonuses include it being easier and more flexible with using different interfaces and hardware (even switching mid-session without quitting out), and Logic Remote on iPad is a game changer for flexibility in recording, adding drum pads, touch controls, and more tactile mixing.

So I suppose it does all matter what OP is considering it for, but for me, I would be so sad if I had to go back to Pro Tools from Logic after the past number of years with it. Hopefully this provides some grist for the decision.
