During the development of my last documentary film, I went into the audio mixing sessions<\/strong> with my sound designer noticed that he wasn’t using the industry standard Pro Tools 12<\/a>. Instead, he was using Logic Pro X<\/a>. Being a film score composer<\/strong> who had been trained to use Pro Tools<\/strong>, he proceeded to tell me that more and more composers are making the move to either Ableton Live<\/a> or Logic Pro.<\/p>\n What I learned is that Pro Tools still runs around $800<\/a>, Ableton Live runs $600<\/a> for the Intro version, and Logic Pro X<\/strong> is the cheapest route of the three at $200<\/a>. This seemed to be an incredible value. Now, the built-in instruments aren’t too impressive, as they are essentially what you’ll find in GarageBand<\/a>. But my sound designer was able to maximize the software’s usability by purchasing add-ons like GeoSonics from SonicCulture<\/a>, Hans Zimmer Percussion from Spitfire Audio<\/a> and Strings and Brass from East West<\/a>.<\/p>\n To help you successfully integrate your FCPX audio into Logic Pro X<\/strong> and back again,<\/strong>\u00a0check out this\u00a0great video from Dan Allen’s YouTube Channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n
