65/100
Logic Pro excels for music production teams fully committed to the Apple ecosystem, offering superior film scoring and mixing capabilities. However, it fails to match Ableton's cross-platform flexibility and live performance workflow. The lack of Max for Live integration limits custom tool development for experimental production.
