    This is is not a good alternative to Logic as there is no ability to record audio only midi.

    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
