  • The system requirements are pretty reasonable: https://www.apple.com/logic-pro/specs/

    As @papertiger suggested, I would start with what you have before buying another computer. Find out what your current config is, then see about upgrading the RAM, adding a SSD hard drive, and a fresh install of Yosemite. It'll probably run Logic just fine with those upgrades.

    Here is the first part of a series MusicTech did on "supercharging your computer for audio"

  • @telecharge as ever thanks for the links. Will go do some studying :)

  • ^ perhaps another thread? I'm sure there's a lot of wisdom around here. Another thought - have YOU thought what you want to do accomplish? Hmmmm? o_O

    Have you guys heard of touchscreen displays for desktops? I can recommend the Acer 23" multitouch. You still need to buy the drivers for 90€ in order to use it on Mac OS but it's pretty cool. Unfortunately the os and Ableton isn't optimized for touch input really, but it can be done. Also, you can build a very capable hackintosh (www.tonymacx86.com)

    Have I thought about what I want to accomplish? Why yes, yes I have....but as Benign Dictatorship seems far away, I am focusing for the time being on trying to find a commercial synthesis between Icelandic ambient and Austin Telecaster honky-tonk....

  • Hey, I saw that band on 6th Street (might have been 5th). Björk and the Sporks, I think it was?

  • Pretty much any of the current Macs will be able to run some quite large Logic Projects with ease. So largely it comes down to how much you want to spend :)

  • My iPad Pro has a 3.5 GHz quad core processor, 16 GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 23" multitouch screen running Ableton Live 9.1.5 on Mavericks (going to be updated to Yosemite soon). Costs less than an equivalent iMac or Mac Pro but needs more fiddling to get it running smoothly.

  • I want that touch device which Hans Zimmer using....
    Indeed, even there are expensive softwares out there for Mac (and windows) you can get also tons of superb free stuff if you search. I really love all the U-he stuff f.e.and even if you have trouble or don't like a software you can resell a licence in most cases, Then there are also demos which you can try before you buy (only Omnisphere not). It's all relative. That said, i still love iOS.... but i also hate it a bit.....

    Logic Pro is not a fair comparison to Auria. Apple sells Logix Pro X for $200 list. The direct competitor Ableton Live Suite is $800. Something weird there.

    Yes, Auria, pricewise, is not far from Logic if you start buying FabFilters plugins and so on, but If Logic Pro were sold by a 3rd party, it would be nowhere as cheap.

    For the record, I totally agree. Apple has bombed Logic Pro pricing because they in the business of selling hardware to go with it. Same can be said for most Apple software, including Garageband.

    Reaper is a fair comparison though. Reaper pretty much blows any iOS DAW out of the water dollar-per-feature wise. Actually, there are quite a few very capable sub $200 DAWs these days. Studio One, Traktion and the lighter version of all the heavy weight DAWs come to mind.

    To flip on myself out loud here, most desktop DAWs (including logic and especially reaper) suffer many of the problems that got a lot of us excited about iOS music making: 50,000 menus, sub-menus, right clicks and 10 tab preferences windows. Part of the charm of iOS apps (including the DAWs) is that they are comparatively simple affairs and that simplicity lends itself to focus. But if the thing doesn't work 1/2 the time...

    What I am missing in the iOS world is a daw/seq that fits my taste, I still have to do arrangements and mix lifting on OS X, but creation happens on iOS only. Each time I have to go back to the laptop it feels like I have to deal with dinosaurs. I'm fine with iOS 4 days a week.

  • Agree. Wish Korg would develop Gadget into more of a DAW.
