Apple's Logic Studio has been an essential tool for many musicians for years now. For a long time, Logic has been arguably the leading software package for MIDI composition and sequencing and in Logic 9, the audio processing features have received a welcome boost.
As a user of Logic 8, the killer feature in Logic 9 for me was the 'Flex Time' audio feature. It allows audio content to be stretched and squeezed in a non destructive way. Perfect for fixing a few misplaced snare hits in a drum recording! You can also quantize audio in the same way that you could previously with MIDI content.
If I'm honest, there is a lot that is completely unchanged from Logic 8. But Logic 8 was great, so there were only a handful of areas that needed much attention.
Logic 9 might seem like a big investment but there is a huge amount of content included. And for me the full fat 'Logic Studio' edition was worth the extra investment over 'Logic Express'.

Reflecting on the transition to Logic Studio 9 is a difficult task in itself, as Apple cease to provide the most wonderful enhancements for the industries leading DAW software. Just when I was comfortable with Version 8, the along comes 9 with what at first seems like relatively few changes, but the wealth of which exist more than make up for hundreds of small 'improvements' that only clog the interface.
I'm almost positive that, like many others, the killer feature this time round was something called 'Flex Time' - a most ingenious component of Logic Pro 9 that allows one to manipulate the time scale of an audio sample without damaging its pitch integrity. Its been a common problem for many years; the fact that when audio tracks were out of sync and needed some better quantisation, your only option was to alter the tempo of that track and, if pitch corrections were required, they could sound awful.
This is all a thing of the past. Flex Time consolidates the former concept into one button, and gives the user an ability to alter the wave form of a sample by simply dragging pins left and right. Don't like the ones that are pre-defined by Logic? No problem, as you can insert and delete them yourself. For someone who has built up many years worth of recordings and samples, this is truly marvel.
The editing of drum samples has also been given a make over and makes it far easier to create rhythm tracks. If you fancy yourself as a 'DJ Dave' in disguise, you can even use the Speed Fade feature to create vinyl-style Starts and Stops to your tracks, which really create an impact and once more, consolidates what would have been an array of different actions into just one feature. These are only a handful of my favourite new features, but you're going to find plenty more when you dig deeper - despite the fact that the interfaces across all the programs are relatively the same.
Whereas Logic Studio 8 and those before it were packaged in large, cumbersome boxes with the DVD's and huge manuals (which, if you dared to read, may put you off reading for life), Version 9 arrives in a comparably diddy box that is no taller or wider than a standard DVD itself. Its thickness is only matched by a 3 small manuals that do what I only hoped would happen - consolidate the most important features of the programs into an easier reading booklet. Sure, I may have been slightly flippant in describing the Logic Studio 8 manuals, but they had 2 problems; taking up far too much space, and being difficult to navigate when you wanted to read up on something specific.
Apples answer to the slimming down of these manuals is that you can read the full versions - just like in Version 8 - either as a PDF from the Installation Disc or online.

If you are going for a Mac you will probably want this DAW. My advice would be to go for the Studio with all the loops etc but shop around as you can get it cheap if you search.
As for Logic Pro I love it. It grows on me more as I use it. Easy to get going on it but lots of features to explore. Forward integration from Garageband is handy and gets you up and running fast.
