Logic Express 8 or Logic pro audio

[paulkr]

Hi,

I have an Imac 2 GHz Intel Core 2 duo with 2GHz ram.

Want's to set up a recording system with:
Logic Express 8
Presonus FP10
Masterkeyboard Fatar/Studiologic SL990.

Have read already some articles about the Presonus FP10.

Only not sure in the choice Logic Express 8 or Logic pro audio

I'm not a Logic guy so I really can't comment too much. I know it was recently discusses that there isn't a whole bunch of difference between Logic Pro and Logic Express, but I'm just repeating rumors here.

Maybe a real Logic person can comment.

Good luck and welcome to the forum!

I have LOGIC STUDIO PRO 8 and used Express too (both 7 and 8) - not a whole lotta differences. Pro comes with some extra HIGH-END stuff and a whole lotta loops, etc. but for 99% of home recordists Logic Express 8 will be great! It's a fantastic way to waste a whole lotta free time

Just check out the Apple site - they've got it all explained there. I've got Logic Express, and I don't really miss anything from Pro. I'm not a high-end recordist - my main audio interface is (still) a Mackie Spike. If you're going to do live work, or use the high-end plugins the Pro version supplies, go on ahead. But my advice is just buy the Express version - you can pay the diference between Pro and Express to upgrade to Pro if you need to anyway.

[Y.E.]

get logic studio, the only difference is express has less features.

Well, it's quite some money to go wasting. I think it would be a far better idea to start with express and eventually upgrade if needed.

Hey e'budy.
I liked G/band and was using it quite a bit but I felt I needed a more comprehensive and better quality daw so rather than buying G/B loops I invested in L/Express and the overall quality is better, steeper learning curve, but better.
