The problem with Logic and other DAWs is that they focus too much on sampling and beat making and not enough of tonality. I'm launching an IDE for MIDI soon http://ngrid.io .
Isn't Cubase supposed to be more focused towards composition, sequencing, tonality

>But yeah, AVID Pro Tools works on Windows so it doesn't do anything for Apple. Before Apple bought it, Emagic's Logic ran on both Windows and Mac. After Apple acquired Logic, they immediately discontinued the Windows version. Can't Apple hypothetically run the same playbook and discontinue Pro Tools for Windows?
Oh wow, I didn't know that. I mean, that seems like a pretty shitty thing to do to an existing userbase. I guess they could, but risk generating a lot of ill will. I'm curious how discontinuing Logic was received. Seems very risky.
So... DarkSky for Android?

They would probably be sued for being anti competitive if they bought out all the DAW companies and did that.
Apple is not in a monopoly position, so it's a perfectly legal move. As long as they didn't become a monopoly in any specific creative field, it would be fine too.
Is this for catalina only? The irony is that most musicians are held back from Catalina and even older OS X because compatibility issues. E.g. no 32bit apps in Catalina kills a lot of VST and VSTi that many of us need. So No Catalina, No Logic Pro X.

>The whole point is awesome software that works only on Macs. And that is why I will never go back to Mac.
There is also awesome software only available for Windows, so I guess you can’t use that either. And there is awesome software only available for Linux, so that’s off the table too.

But this isn't the real issue. The real issue is that the US hasn't vigorously enforced its own antitrust law in over 20 years, because a policy of "monopolies are good" was adopted in the 80s and has only gotten stronger over the years. (The Microsoft antitrust case of the 1990s was an exception.)

Do you mind sharing that channel. Trying to up my Ableton Live game. Thanks

Pro Tools is seen as the serious tool while the other DAWs you mention are toys for electronic music producers
20 years ago maybe. I don't know if you've noticed, but there's hardly any music that isn't electronic these days.
That's true, but you can hardly say the same thing about synths, which seems to be the salient detail.
I own Apple Logic and thus I'm grateful for the continuous updates. On the other hand, I'm mystified why Apple continues its investment in this audio program. Yes, when Steve Jobs bought Logic from Emagic in 2002, it made strategic sense to fortify Apple's "software portfolio" to make Mac hardware more attractive. But that was before the surprising massive success of iPhones in 2007. Now, it seems like sales of Logic…
Came here to ask the same question and so far none of the answer seems convincing to me. It would have made a little more sense if they had released this update as Logic Pro 11 and charges some upgrade fees. Instead it is free. To put it into perspective, Logic Pro X user has been getting free update for nearly 7 years running! I think one possible reason / theory is that the resource allocated to Logic is so small (…
Eric Prydz uses Logic
Above and Beyond use it, Gabriel and Dresden, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten.. A ton of famous names in the electronic music world use it. Many use Ableton and Logic together.
Maybe Trance music is the killer app for Logic or vice-versa. ;-)
