Apple Is Amazing
Written by TH from Bloomington
Sep 16, 2007
The people at Apple are making it easier for people such as myself to create their own music. The Logic products are really great,…Read more and now they're affordable and significantly updated. Logic Express 8 is incredibly superior to Logic Express 7, since it now features Ultrabeat, Guitar Amp Pro, and more! if you are a teenager who loves making your own music, i greatly suggest you buy this product. Especially for young electronic music producers like me. Its a great writing environment as well. Its just all over a terrific product. But if your looking for something maybe more professional, then Logic Studio would be the way to go. But you can always buy this product, and later upgrade to Logic Studio if you feel your being limited with Logic Express 8.

The only thing really missing of great value is Space Designer. Honestly! No complaints here. The new design is so much easier to understand. Makes great mixes too!!! Up and using the upgraded software in less than 30 minutes.
