(As a DAW) Live 7 vs. Logic 8
(As a DAW) Live 7 vs. Logic 8
Hey folks. I've been using Live since v.2 and I've always liked it.... although I mainly have used it in the past as a writing tool, while I recorded & mixed using a Radar & a console.
Well all of that has changed. I've downsized, I'm looking at picking up a Metric Halo 2882, and I'm going to work with a DAW from here out.
So as a DAW, can we compile the upsides/downsides of Live 7 vs. Logic 8? It'll be used for Tracking, overdubbing & mixing ITB.
Many thanks,
Erik

Yeah, I think it's too early to day still. Do a search on Logic 8 here and you'll get a ton of threads about what it has that Live doesn't. Compare that with the new press release for Live 7 to see if it added anything.

I'm a Logic and Live user from version 5 of both apps. People call Logic a midi powerhouse. In midi editing it is and is the reason I haven't switched completely to Live. Live on the other hand has become a midi performance powerhouse since version 6, and 7 looks even stronger in that department.
I would love to use just one app but they booth have huge benefits that I can't live without.

I still think wavelab is easier to use, but Logic could certainly replace it, and likely will for me one Sonalksis releases their mastering limiter (my good mastering plugs are all still PC based).

Tarekith... I've used Bias peak for my (pre)mastering as well as final touches for many projects. Can you (or anyone) compare Logic's built in WaveBurner to Bias Peak?Tarekith wrote:I still think wavelab is easier to use, but Logic could certainly replace it, and likely will for me one Sonalksis releases their mastering limiter (my good mastering plugs are all still PC based).

I've only used Peak a couple times when I first switched to OSX, so I'm probably not the best person to ask on that.

I don't get Core Audio overloads with either Logic or Live. It has mostly to do with the system, not enough CPU power or memory, second being badly written audio drivers.inmazevo wrote:I don't get Core Audio Overloads with Live. :D
At its very core, a DAW has to actually PLAY the track. All the bundles in the world don't make up for that.

Can you please elaborate? What is inferior about Live for mixing in comparison to Logic? I've heard this argument before, but I'd love to hear some specifics.Sleep Tyght wrote:I love Live, but seriously?..........
Logic Studio hands down. I can't even imagine mixing in Live. Don't think I'd ever want to.
I'm really trying to get my head around this.
Many thanks!
