I own both. Both are more that good for production work. If I would do more real instrument recording, Logic's comp takes are far better than anything inside Live, include voice recordings, plus Logic's built-in plugins, effects and synths, are much more refined than the Live ones. As for Live, for loop-based EDM which is the majority of releases, nothing beats Live's work flow.
As for Apple killing Logic, I've seen this posted for 8+ years now, ever since Apple purchased EMagic. You can't do much about paranoia...
PS: The prices for Logic and Live are so low today so anyone with a day job could afford both. As for pirating SW, that's plain evil.
Hm a lot of people keep saying about Ableton live being 'loop' friendly, maybe thats a good thing for me as when im first getting started ill be buying 'loop/sounds packs' and using them to produce, but does logic offer that easily too? TBH id wanna use my MIDI keyboard and plug-ins to make my own kicks and claps etc and turn them into a track.
logic pro 9 is £139 on the ap store, seems good! but i REALLY prefer getting physical copies of stuff i spend a lot of money on, not many physical copies about anymore of logic tho is there?
You could also easily use loops in Logic (PS if someone does not know it, hit option key in imported WAV file and select right-lower corner and adjust to beat marker, Live does this automatically.) AppleLoops take care of this but few places sell AppleLoop based content.
90% of loops I make are done in Logic. Then reused in Logic or Live. They are by default AppleLoops for maximal re-use, Live accepts AIFF files just fine.
Few need physical copies today with App store. DVDs are a pain and they could go wrong and there you sit with broken DVDs trying to re-install sw... This was different long time ago with no Internet or slow Internet connection, not today.
Okay, so i can buy sample packs, with loops, bleeps, kicks, claps etc form say, loopmasters.com, and use them in logic? Basically can i just buy any 'sound packs' that are mp3/wav and import them into logic and use them?
I have brought some packs before, and they imported into the right hand side part of logic (the loops/sounds section) and i used them, but they dissapeared from the actual folder that they was in on my desktop, i think i chose the option to actually TAKE them from there destination, and keep them in the logic browser section. but then they even dissapeared from my logic browser? So kinda confused there
Yeah true, but i just worry that if my MBP breaks or gets stolen, im doomed then? at least if i had a physical copie i could use the disk and re-install.. or is there a way around that?
Great, thats cool then.
and oh, so if my MBP breaks or i get a new one, can i somehow use my email adress and contact with my serial number to get it re=installed?
No. Apple sold out their physical packages in stores and then introduced the app store version for much less money than the former physical copy.
No doubt! Logic has once been one of the leading DAWs. Lots of professionals still use it, the same with people in their home studios. But that's mainly because you probably won't want to change the basis for your work when you're already incorporated ("Never change a winning team" ).
To be honest the functionality of most DAWs is almost the same in these days. The differences are mainly GUI and workflow. The last point is rather more important and therefore you should check out which workflow will work best for you!
P.S: Wav-files should work with every DAW so no need to worry (if you even did ) about importing samples and loops bought online.

The Daw don't make the artist, the artist makes the DAW. If you suck you will still suck using any DAW.
Some are just easier to get your ideas down, others are super long winded.
Try before you buy.. and everybody has their own personal type of workflow.
You need raw talent and lots and lots and lots of practice.
Unfortunately this is something you cannot get via social networking or blogs. So why are you reading this when you could be in the studio making music?
Me...... I'm currently using a kazoo and ball of wool. It sounds real good in the mental hospital ward.
