One of the primary advantages of Logic Pro compared to other digital audio workstations is its extensive free library. Anything from guitar riffs and percussive sounds to quirky sound effects and ear candies, the Apple Loops library in Logic Pro offers a plethora of materials for musicians to work with.
Moreover, Logic Pro gives you access to many powerful virtual instruments, such as the Alchemy, that you can use to create MIDI tracks. The virtual instruments in Logic Pro sound significantly better than those in Ableton and have much more variety. You can use Logic’s classic piano and string sounds for pop and folk music or use a variety of synthesizers for EDM and hip hop. On the other hand, Ableton’s VSTs predominantly revolve around electronic music.
Another area in which Logic Pro takes the spotlight is access to high-quality stock effect plugins. Logic Pro’s ChromaVerb, Stereo Delay, multi-band Compressors, and Channel EQ are only some of the plugins praised by many professionals.
However, that is not to say Ableton’s VSTs and plugins sound terrible. Since Ableton’s range of stock tools is narrower, you’ll probably be more dependent on third-party plugins and VSTs down the line. Bear in mind that premium third-party plugins can cost many times more than what you initially pay for a DAW.
