Sam-

logic express isn't any lower quality per se than Logic Pro. It has lesser features. If you cannot afford Logic Pro, then saving might be in order (a lost art in the US), or evaluating my needs.

I cannot afford a Porsche, neither do i need a porsche. A lesser car as the features that I need.

As a working professional in the music biz I understand the concerns that software developers and musicians have with illegal downloading. However Apple is a computer company not a musical based company. They hurt the industry with their so called upgrades. If you’ve ran a professional studio using logic then you know what I mean. These upgrades are a planned way to make more money duh! Many of these so called upgrades already existed before the product they were “upgrading” was released to the public. Pirating is a double edged sword so swing carefully. Fuck Apple Fuck Microsoft and most of all fuck the way the sell us products that they are several years ahead of all ready.

I could not disagree with you more, David. As a supposed alcoholic and coffee addicted college student (neither of which I partake in imbibing, mind you), I don’t have the hundreds of dollars that you so casually write off as nothing, thanks to a “huge” student discount. I feel that your post was extremely elitist and naive of the situation of musicians who lack the funds that you seem to have. It’s as if you find it impossible that a serious musician and lover of music doesn’t have hundreds of dollars to throw around. I’ve been making music for years now, and I love doing it, and I have never profited from it. Does that mean I have to use Garageband, as you suggest? Have you tried Garageband? It’s a toy. It’s for pre-teens to record riffs of Smoke on the Water onto. It is extremely limiting.

David, I appreciate your blog post about this topic as it actually changed my mind about pirated software. I was previously working with a pirated version of Logic and as I got used to the features (I previously only used pro tools), I bought a legal copy. Imagine my surprise when I realized the pirated version was seriously flawed and lacking many of the essential plug-ins and jam packs! Needless to say, I’m glad I bought the legal version. To the people that say the program is too expensive, they really cut the price by a LOT from what Logic 7 cost, and I think it’s a reasonable price for all that comes with it. The various pirated versions out there are just not worth it!

I love apple but I hate the prize of his products. Do you know how much is for a man of country here in italy 1299 € (the new iMac)??! And so I sad… Tengo na minchia tanta… Ma non tengo una lira… If you can reach the ammount of money that cost something, you have to work hard and buy legally… But if you don’t have the possibility, pirate, but don’t think that you are in the right… You are just a clodhopper… That’s all i’m doing…
Fuck Microsoft!!!!!!!!!

Ok. I am the LEGAL owner of all the software i have in my computer.

As a legal client of logic since version 4 (youve been there as well for sure) I just think that the fees they apply to upgrade are just insane.
The difference between buying the software new and upgrading is minimal. So basically they could not care less for the clients.
They don’t care at all for the people that have been there since the start and hence have upgrade fees that will be almost the same as buying the software some months later when it is discounted.

Also the software in itself although is very good is missing key feature nowadays…

So Ive bitten the bullet and instead of giving them another check worth almost the price of LOGIC PRO (8) Just for upgrading, I’ve bought a UAD2 and use it now with Ableton Live and Pro TOOLS LE (and I hate pro tools)

Besides this. just face the fact that Logic is what it is now because Apple chose to have it BTIM available to any one that can get their hands on a serial.
APPLE IS NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF SOTWARE, THEY SELL COMPUTERS….

Long Live EMAGIC!
