Is it easy to use even if you never made music before ?

And does it have all instruments to make music from 0 to the final cut ?

Logic Pro

The greatest hurdle in making music is making music, not using a DAW. Logic is reasonably accessible if you read the manual and are willing to learn. It contains enough material to make many kinds of music from start to end, but you won't be able to create a convincing big band sound or orchestral arrangement just using Logic's own samples and instruments. What you can do with logic depends monstly on your talent however. I produce all my music entirely within logic, but I have access to very talented musicians who contribute their part, and I have received musical training.


Furthermore, finishing a song in logic in a way that can be released commercially you also have to have considerable knowledge of mixing and sound engineering, and eventually even mastering. So yes, you can in principle use Logic to make music from start to end. But it usually takes many years to learn that, not because of logic, but because it's an art.

The short answer to "is it easy to use if you've never made music before"


No!


If you're really good at manipulating professional level software and reading manuals you might be able to cobble something together. Logic Audio is basically a recording studio in a box, not something that creates music with little user interaction.


You have Garageband on your computer, it's free, get proficient in using it before doing anything else.


(Garageband can produce professional quality music so don't think of it as a simple beginners tool, it covers all the fundamentals)

Is it easy to use even if you never made music before ?
