You might be surprised at how good the stock sounds - and plug-ins - are these days.

I use Logic Pro X for most things *, and some of the synths in particular are really good - as you say, depending on what you're looking for. It's almost silly that it's only $200.

* Meaning that I use it for writing music and Pro Tools for anything that involves audio editing.

If I remember right you had to set some things up in the Environment back then. They've changed the interface a lot since Apple bought the company.

While there are layers and layers of features (and very few people know or use all of them), just the basics of recording and editing don't seem very complicated to me.



I've always found all the German-designed apps really non-intuitive to use.
