It might be easier to run through what they both do, and then give specifics about what they highlight as their selling points? OK, these are primarily aimed at very serious home users, and professional producers, so either of these will do an awful lot… not all of it making for a particularly riveting read. There ends the discussion of Logic Pro’s pricing options. I’m sure I’ll return to that point a little later. You may have noticed that I only mentioned the Mac App Store? Yeah, Logic Pro isn’t available for Windows or Linux or anything. There doesn’t seem to be any discounts for education or anything, another unusual aspect for commercial, high-end DAWs.

From the Mac App Store you can grab it for around $199. So that’s kind of cool, I guess? Pricing options Logic Pro

One of its interesting claims to fame is that Ricky Martin’s Livin’ La Vida Loca was the first number one single to have been entirely recorded, edited, and mixed in Pro Tools. That first Pro Tools cost a whopping $6,000! It’s hailed as the first digital multitrack recording software, which makes it funny to think that something that originally cost so much led to something you can now get online for free! It became Sound Tools in 1989, and was renamed Pro Tools in 1991. The following year – 1985 – they were offering downloadable features for the software.

Pro Tool first appeared as Sound Designer, created by two Berkeley graduates in 1984. Pro Tools is celebrating its 30th birthday this year, so happy birthday to you!
