LMMS vs Logic Pro Comments
Top Negative Comment by DL300 · Jun 16, 2024
A fundamentally broken DAW with a good interface. Probably the most intuitive DAW, locked to a garbage overpriced platform, and that deletes random files between sessions.

3/10 kind of usable sometimes but mostly broken
Negative comment by Doppler Shift · Sep 27, 2025
While it's possible to edit audio files on LMMS, it's NOT possible to record directly into it, making it differ from the style of Logic Pro X
Negative comment by jmantra · Dec 31, 2023
This is is not a good alternative to Logic as there is no ability to record audio only midi.

Ardour vs Logic Pro Comments
Positive comment by jmantra · Dec 31, 2023
If you're looking for a good FOSS alternative to Logic/Garageband on Linux, this is it. Unlike LMMS, you can record, edit and mix audio. It comes with loops that can be downloaded from Freesound. Virtual Instruments can easily be added using soundfonts or VST plugins. It's feature set can also be extended with LUA scripting.
