However, its lack of a price tag does come with a few caveats – there’s no varispeed recording, or take management – meaning recording new takes will have to be done on new tracks. Guitarists looking for in-depth audio editing also might find Logic’s power a bit lacklustre, yet for most basic recording tasks, it’s got more than enough chopping and splicing tools. There are some downsides, however – Logic Pro X is exclusive to Mac OS, and only allows third-party plugins if they’re in the Audio Unit format. Varispeed recording also lets you slow down your song to record at a slightly more leisurely pace. And If you’re having a hard time nailing a tricky riff or solo, its take management is also very intuitive, letting you quickly overdub a part several times – swapping out various bits and pieces of the recording with just a few clicks. Tweaking these is also very intuitive, with simulated controls all the way down to mic placement position.įor some accompaniment, Logic’s built-in AI drummer means backing tracks complete with dynamic drum parts are very easily created – without any prior knowledge of drum programming needed. If you’re looking to run your guitar direct, it offers a range of virtual pedals, amps and cabinets to shape your tone. Apple’s Logic Pro X is a well-equipped DAW for the price.
