![]() ![]() Most guitarists on Mac will first experiment with loops and tracking on GarageBand. If you're on a Mac, then you've got two excellent options - Apple's free GarageBand, or the higher-tier Logic Pro suite. Best DAWs for guitarists: Guitar World’s Choice In this best DAWs guide we'll go over several options to find which is the best one for you, and which ones make guitar recording a breeze. There are DAWs available for every budget, including free options, and applications for both Mac and PC. In fact, it will deliver negative value unless the OP has already invested in pretty decent 3rd party synths and sample libraries, as Logic’s stuff is only usable in Apple’ software (Logic Pro, GarageBand, Mainstage, Final Cut Pro).However, just because home recording is within reach doesn't mean the range of choices is any less daunting. It’s amazing how far people will go to get others to waste money on something that - at the end of the dat - literally does not matter one bit and will almost assuredly fail to deliver any value over what they already have. OP has already spent the money on Logic Pro. Studio One is fine, but I don’t think it delivers enough for its price to be worth a cross grade. Plus, long term, it’s exponentially cheaper. So, if I were on a Mac, I’d probably bias to it on that alone. Of the two, I do think Logic is the more ergonomically designed. Studio One is a bit too dark for my tastes - though I concede that as personal preference. I think a lighter gray is a better compromise. Cakewalk provides both visually-consistent Lite and Dark themes, as does Pro Tools and Samplitude Pro X - without you having to cook one up yourself). It’s like developers saw the Photography and Videography apps doing it and they all decided to create a universal FAD… which I am growing to hate, particularly when a well-designed light theme is not provided (i.e. I’m becoming averse to these Dark Themes… which really only made a ton of sense in Visual Arts apps that were run consistently in dim rooms (to avoid ambient lighting polluting color perception - same reason why there are hoods for color calibrated screens). So, basically, darker bland > brighter bland? I do wish it had a workable default lite theme. ![]() Just make sure you watch the Presonus YouTube channel for a bunch of awesome features. ![]() I promise you're gonna fall in love with it. They've thought of everything and they SERIOUSLY listen to their customers and keep adding features that people ask for as free updates for everyone. It sounds so nice, I still use a bunch of their stock plugins even though I've got UAD, FabFilter and a bunch of others. Studio one was listening to all those conversations people were having and put ALL of those features in one place and then made it super simple to understand and even shape studio one to the same workflow as the previous DAW you came from (such as the fact they've got options to map the keyboard shortcuts to the same as the ones you had previously just as a one click option) It's basically, "I like (insert DAW) cause of (insert feature)"
