==Notable Users==

I've added Linkin Park to notable users because in Hybrid Theory DVD they'd shown their studio_in_the_back_of_the_bus - there was one workstation with Logic Audio and another with ProTools (from Mike's words)

:The list was intended at first to list a dozen celebrities or so, not to make a complete list of Logic users around the world (there is such a list @ http://logicprohelp.com/vip_users.php and as you can see if everyone adds who they consider a celebrity, this page will soon be 10 feet long).

==Tech Specs==
Do we really need a complete listing of all technical specifications of this software on wikipedia? Wouldn't a link to Apple's page be sufficient?
[[User:Kickin' Da Speaker|Kickin&#39; Da Speaker]] 05:54, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


No. I think the Features section is brief enough and covers mostly basics, but the Tech Specs section should be removed entirely. For info beyond the Features section, a link to Apple's website is sufficent. -J

==Advertising and trivia==
Considerable percentage of the article is either advertising (celebrity lists) or advertising (external forums). The celeb list is now gone and if someone could overhaul the discussion forum part to the external links and perhaps add link to original source of the notable users under Trivia then it'd be much better.

The matter of who should be in such list is also generating edit spam and is better left to another site or a new article that has definite list of every "notable" user of every software ever created.

== Loss of TDM compatibility due to Apple transition to Intel ==

I reverted the Anonymous User's edit that had removed the section explaining the loss of TDM functionaility due to the Intel transition.

To the user who wrote this note:

:67.101.170.138  (This is not a place to discuss Logic's TDM compatibility past, present or future)

- please consider that the '''Pro Tools TDM support package''' feature is listed in the previous section, but that feature does not work any more on the Intel Mac.  Since this article is for the purpose of giving accurate information to readers, we should include the facts, which are that the TDM feature is temporarily not part of the package.  When Apple releases an update to fix the broken feature, we can remove that note from the article.  

If we don't explain this, then we should remove the mention of TDM from the Features list.    Really though, it is more correct and of more use to readers for us to include all the facts. 

If you don't agree with my reasoning, please explain so I can understand why you don't want this valuable information included in the article.  

Thanks.     [[User:Parsifal|Parsifal]]   09:26, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

:This is not the place to discuss what works or doesn't work in Logic Pro! There are a lot of features that are currently broken under the Intel platform (ex: export to movie). The purpose of this article is not to list them.  <sub>(This comment and related edit was not signed [[User:Parzival418|Parzival418]])</sub>

My reply is the same as I wrote above last time this happened.  If we don't mention a feature that is no longer included, why should we list any features at all?     [[User:Parsifal|Parsifal]]   05:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

:If you let everybody complain about all the features that don't work with each specific configuration of hardware and software, you'll end up with something that has nothing to do with a Wikipedia article. <sub>(This comment by an unregistered user was not signed [[User:Parzival418|Parzival418]])</sub>

I don't see why you want people not to know that this function was removed from Logic Pro, or why you feel that has nothing to do with Wikipedia.  However, in the interests of consensual editing, instead of just undo-ing your erasing of that section again, I will make it shorter and move it to the place in the article where the TDM compatibility is listed.  I am also adding an addition cited reference, this one directly from Apple themselves, stating TDM is not supported on Intel Macs.

If you have a reason that information should not be included, please explain in more depth.  Because the article mentions a feature which does not exist any more, that either needs to be documented, or the mention of that feature needs to be deleted, otherwise the article would be misleading. Since it used to be a feature and now is not, I think it's better to document both facts instead of just erasing them both, that way the complete history is noted.     [[User:Parsifal|Parsifal]]   21:21, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
:I think the way you included the information now is much more encyclopedia-like. A full paragraph was too much, but now it's great. I would leave it like that. <sub>(This comment by an unregistered user was not signed [[User:Parsifal|Parsifal]])</sub>

==Enthusiasm==
I'm sure you're keen on this software, but sentences like "This was a tremendous event...and  "Notator was like a dream come true..." are POV and sound like they were written by an Apple marketing flak. They don't belong in an encyclopedia. [[User:Cavort|Cavort]] 18:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:I agree. In fact, the entire "Early history" section needs a rewrite. In addition to the POV comments, it is confusing (how can a software application have "a clean 'hi res.' paperwhite display, like the Mac, but larger"?), incomplete (when did Emagic acquire Logic?), and goes off on a U.S.-centric tangent (why is the U.S. debut of the software given special mention?). --[[User:Eric Winesett|emw]] 17:45, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

== Historical info includes both features and bugs ==

To {{user|76.167.117.248}}, regarding your removal of information from this article that is supported by third-party reference an on-topic:

When you removed the information, the edit summaries you used were as follows:

*''(No other software article on Wikipedia lists all the history of bugs or incompatibilities. Doesn't make sense to list ONE of the many bugs that are or have been present in Logic in the past.)''
*''(This article is not the place to make a history of features that were at one point in the past broken.)'' 
*''(Many 3rd party compatibilities with LP have been broken at various point. We don't need the list here. Maybe start a page on Logic/TDM compability and link it at the bottom of the article?)''

The reason I've restored the info each time is that this is an encyclopedia article about this software package, including both current and historical information.  The article must follow the Wikipedia core policy of [[WP:NPOV]] (neutral point of view).  That means, we don't leave information out just because it might seem negative.  There is another core policy, [[WP:V]] (verifiability), that asks us to include information only when it can be verified with reliable source references. 

The article already includes all sorts of detailed information that has nothing to do with describing how wonderful the program is today -  history about how and when it was started, the various names it went through, when various features were added, and even the list price when it was first released.

Instead of removing valid information, why don't you expand the article further?  You say in your edit summaries that there were other 3rd party compatibilities that were broken in the past.  You could add that information, and we could improve the article with a separate section heading about third party compatibility, how it's evolved, what worked when, and what didn't.

The point is, the article needs to provide as much information on the topic as we can, that has references to support it, without biasing the discussion to either the positive or negative.  I recommend that you read the links I included to the two core policies, and instead of erasing valid information, contribute to the article by adding more information.

Thanks.  --[[User:Parsifal|Parsifal]] [[User talk:Parsifal|<sub>Hello</sub>]] 07:04, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

==Should we merge Logic Express into this article==

Lets face it. There's not a lot of difference between the two now. Most information about Logic Express on this encyclopedia is in this article anyway, so every time you want to find anything about Express you go to the pro article to find it.

If people want to make changes to the Express article to change information about Earlier differences between the 2 programs I think they should stay separate but as far as current versions of the software are concerned they are exactly the same except for 4 differences that could easily be (and I think, possibly already are) mentioned here.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Sebbi|Sebbi]] ([[User talk:Sebbi|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sebbi|contribs]]) 18:15, 20 October 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Hidden comment added to notable users section ==

I added the following to the notable users section in a hidden comment:

"Please do not add any more artists to this list. The list we have is sufficient. If you believe a crucially important artist is missing from this list, please comment on the talk page."

The other day someone reverted a random addition to this list with the summary "the list could go on forever", and I'm inclined to agree. Practically anyone big who creates their music digitally with a sequencer is bound to use Logic, it's an industry standard.

== Notator ==

The Early History section was very confused about the origins of Logic. Logic did not originate as Notator, it was the ''successor'' of Notator, rewritten from scratch and totally different. I've tried to include sufficient detail to explain this distinction, but I'm now left with the feeling that there's too much here and what's really needed is a separate article about Notator to which this can link. Any views?  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/217.169.15.38|217.169.15.38]] ([[User talk:217.169.15.38|talk]]) 21:38, 26 February 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I think I agree. I am a long-time Logic Pro user, and I came here because an outside article mentioned Creator/Notator by C-Lab as the original 'incarnation' of Logic. If Logic was indeed a complete rewrite, albeit from the same software developers, then it should be a separate article with a link. On that note, I came to the discussion page because the term 'C-Lab' appears in this article with no prior identification or link. I hope it's not asking for too much to see C-Lab documented somewhere on Wikipedia, although this article is probably not the place.--[[User:BrianWilloughby|BrianWilloughby]] ([[User talk:BrianWilloughby|talk]]) 22:39, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

== Versioning ==

The final (2002) version of Logic available for Windows was not version 6 but version 5.5.  I know because I continued to use it for six years.  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jarretc|Jarretc]] ([[User talk:Jarretc|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jarretc|contribs]]) 06:52, 18 October 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== 32 bit ranting ==

There is some very problematic content in the section on version 8 and 9, regarding 32 bit issues.  The English is poor, the prose is unencyclopedic, even ranty and polemic, and blanket statements are being made claiming sourcing from (unnamed) online forums (hardly reliable sources).  Examples:

* ''also known as "Logic 9 , "Memory bug from hell"'' Awful without a reliable source ''and'' enough notability
* ''Users around the world have illustrate the issue on every major forum about music production'' poor prose and poor sourcing, even if such a source were actually cited.
* ''It is now a historical fact that Apple has promoted 64bit computing since year 2003 with the launch advert of the PowerMac G5 but still on 12/2009 did not offer real-life 64bit audio host applications for the end users.'' Sheer rant and [[WP:SOAPBOX|soapboxing]] as well as poor language.

I had a go at incorporating the 32 bit issue into info about 9.1's release, but that was reverted.  I cannot imagine this type of language and soapboxing can serve the project well, so will have another go.  If anyone wishes to elaborate on the 32 bit issues, that's fine but please provide a reliable source, say a respected audio magazine, and use encyclopedic, declarative language.

OK, after I reverted and came here to discuss, the next part of [[WP:BRD]] is, um, ''discuss''.

:Furthermore I agree with Baccyak4H's assessment.

- I am so sorry but the fact that Logic Pro 7 official minimum RAM requirement is 512 MB and Logic 8 and 9 is 1GB (2GB or more highly recommended) have created a huge problem due to 32bit RAM limitations. This is not an opinion...this is HISTORY. As for the PowerMAC G5 64bit-ish campaign...it is also HISTORY. Apple Inc. promoted 64bit since 2003 and only now 2010 they offer a real 64bit solution. Many companies including Spectrasonics and Eastwest have illustrated the 32bit issue publicly and many users for years had the false impression that apple could offer a 64bit solution. So... the history is written... the after-fact of few apple marketing executives. As for the 'poor-english'... i suppose that you could ask and make the necessary corrections. and yes... this is VERY problematic content.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/85.75.12.18|85.75.12.18]] ([[User talk:85.75.12.18|talk]]) 12:24, 18 January 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:The issue isn't with the factual nature of those claims.  It is with the tone of how they were written that was the problem.  This is (or at least strives to be) an encyclopedia, a respectable reference work.  There have been several attempts to acknowledge the existence of such issues by using it as a segue to the release of version 9.1.  No polemics, no rants, just declarative language without assinuating judgement of any variety.  Note that all content here needs to adhere to the [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view policy]] and the policy on using [[WP:RS|reliable sources]].  But these are ''necessary'', not sufficient, constraints for editing.  The content should read like an encyclopedia.

::::Many new users mistakenly assume that Wikipedia should accept their personal knowledge and professional opinion as fact. It's a common mistake, and as Baccyak4H has tried to explain, that's not the way Wikipedia works. Objective 3rd party sources (trade journals, professional magazines, etc) are preferred, especially for controversial material (such as <s>rumours of</s> product flaws, manufacturer's errors, user community response, etc.) In this case, Apple itself is a good source for software releases and notes, but not much more. Also, Wikipedia is not a publisher of original ideas, "news", or analysis.

- You call Apple official spec, a rumor? you call 32bit ram addressing limitation, a rumor? you call engineering facts ... a "professional opinion and personal knowledge" (now that's HUGE).
You compose the logic pro wiki article via the apple press/marketing announcements and you present it as a highly reliable source and in the same time you deliberately ignore the specs? I will wait Apple official response on that. What about mathematics?

2004: Logic 7 32bit theoretical  Ram limitation 3.9GB,  official Minimum RAM requirements 512MB. Crash takes place on approximately 3GB of physical memory usage.

2009: Logic 9 32bit theoretical Ram limitation 3.9GB, official Minimum RAM requirements 1GB (2GB highly recommended). Crash takes place on approximately 2GB of physical memory usage.

In other words, the actual Apple Inc. Pro Audio Progress Index in 5 years is...!

Hello, I recently added two items, and deleted a couple non content related items (i.e.,only for grammatical purposes). The first change I made was regarding the new organizational options afforded to Logic Pro X that were mentioned in previous version versions of the page, but never expanded upon. The expansion is minimal, however, I believe will help readers better understand their new options within Logic Pro X. The second change I made regarded Logic Pro X's ability to transfer project files as old as Logic Pro 5 into it's new interface while also referring back to the new universal 64-bit plug-in retirement. I believe this will help users understand that their projects are not lost if they switch to the new platform, and that they will have more editing and plug-in options available to them.  <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Zachary J Davis|Zachary J Davis]] ([[User talk:Zachary J Davis|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Zachary J Davis|contribs]]) 06:02, 10 November 2015 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==E-cigarette?==
I just saw an ad for a Logic Pro e-cigarette device.  Is it the same company? [[Special:Contributions/69.62.243.64|69.62.243.64]] ([[User talk:69.62.243.64|talk]]) 03:45, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
:Nope.  That appears to be made by a different company, according to its website.  [[User:Philippe|-Philippe ]] ([[User talk:Philippe|talk]]) 05:59, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

== Space Designer Image ==

I would like to change the image for the Space Designer effect to a newer one, as the plugin was redesigned. However, I'm not autoconfirmed, so I can't upload it.

== Proposed merge of [[Logic Express]] into [[Logic Pro]] ==

Short-lived pared down version of Logic Pro can be covered as a section in this article ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 01:38, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

:'''Support''', after this [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Apple_Inc.#How_should_this_WikiProject_be_organized?|this discussion]] at WikiProject Apple Inc.

:'''Support'''. Usually, I'd be opposed, but looking at the article's size makes me realize merging them would be the best thing to do. [[User:Explodicator7331|Explodicator7331]] ([[User talk:Explodicator7331|talk]]) 14:39, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
:'''Oppose'''. All the Logic Express article needs is some expanding, which most would be happy to do. Plus, Compressor and Motion still have their own articles even though they are just companion softwares to Final Cut Pro (like Logic Express was to Logic Pro). Just because the article is short doesn't necessarily mean it should be merged. [[User:Sussybaka6000|Sussybaka6000]] ([[User talk:Sussybaka6000|talk]]) 01:27, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
