i was considering investing in some high end plugins (compressor/reverb/limiter) to use in my pro tools setup, but i've been hearing a lot about the new logic studio's array of plugins.
the entire DAW costs less than i was planning on spending on plugins, plus it seems to offer more than pro tools as a workstation.
does anyone have any experience with the new plugins for logic? can you vouch for their quality?
(thinking of just moving over to logic and calling it a day)

Re: crosspost: logic pro 8's plugs?
Wed, March 5, 2008 - 12:25 PMI'm in the exact same boat. I've had several people logic is the way to go. Pro Tools is old news. My only problem is I'm so used to it now.
Someone respond to this man so we can make up our minds!

Re: crosspost: logic pro 8's plugs?
Wed, March 5, 2008 - 1:18 PMLogics mixing & audio editing capabilities are still below Protools. (i'm saying that as recent Protools abandoner as well).
Logic is a nice composing tool but horrible mixing system.
As far as plugins go the URS CSP is my goto mixing tool. Amazing channel strip. Covers all EQ,Comp needs. I mean all -

Wed, March 5, 2008 - 4:13 PMthanks for the responses.
eRic - can you comment further on how Logic falls short when it comes to mixing/editing? I've heard this said before in comparison to PT but no one has provided any details.

Re: crosspost: logic pro 8's plugs?
Thu, March 6, 2008 - 10:58 AMI would say that as a non-post recording/mixing engineer, I HIGHLY prefer mixing in Logic to Pro Tools. Could be that I began using Logic when I began using computers for mixing (when it was v3), so my familiarity with Logic may contribute to my preference. But as far as flexibility and ease, I'd love to always mix in Logic. Tracking, however, I prefer doing in Pro Tools if I'm doing more than 2 or 3 tracks at a time. Editing as well. Though I'll say that Logic has improved the editing thing over time, but it still comes in short behind Pro Tools.
That said, the plug-ins that come with Logic are good in some cases, but I use 3rd party plug-ins (Waves) about 90% of the time. They're plug-ins that I've been using for a long time, and go to them constantly. I do, however LOVE the Space Designer Reverb that's been a part of Logic for 7 and 8. -

Re: crosspost: logic pro 8's plugs?
Fri, March 7, 2008 - 12:33 PMHaving not used Protools I can't say which is better for what, but I definitely really like Logic. I've never had that much of a problem of mixing my tracks, and the Midi editing I'm sure blows protools out of the water.
The plugs it comes with are quite good, you're never going to get waves for instance for the price of Logic, it just won't happen. You could get one or two plug ins and you'd be tapped out.
Logic has great reverb, delay, compression (multi and single band), and eq capabilities, and while they may not be as high-end as Waves or McDsp, they certianly get the job done.
As for plugs though, using mainly Logic's, Liquid MIx, and Sonalksis... good stuff all around

Re: crosspost: logic pro 8's plugs?
Wed, March 5, 2008 - 9:16 PMThe audio editing can be cumbersome. You have to figure out ways to trick it into what you want to do. It's not a very "surgical" audio edit like PT can be.
As far as mixing goes. I've had a few level issues with logic. I work in Post and i have strict guidelines for my mixes. In logic you have to play the ok i have to bring this fader down .1 game. With alot of double checking mixes. Meters can be off. Now i have used Logic 8 so maybe things have changed from 7. I just dont have any confidence in Logic for mixing. can tell you i'm not alone
