Here's my public services good deed for the day: http://www.avid.com/avid-for-education
Logic for music? You probably mean for EDM and Rap. Pro Tools is for recording and mixing actual instruments, not just for playing back pre-packaged loops. Logic is
really great for that, especially the free content that is given. The code optimization (secret sauce?

) is also pretty amazing because Logic X will run like a charm on a 2010 Mac Mini Core-2-Duo.
But really,
Pro Tools is
the industrial-grade audio editor. If you become super-adept at it, every other editor will feel more like a toy to you.
But only if you're really adept. That's the key.
I would suggest the following to all you yoots: If you have a
prolific workflow, that is you're able to write a lot of great music efficiently and quickly; no matter how "new" or "old" you system is,
don't break a prolific workflow just to have the latest thing. (Save that $ for your watchband collection.)
If your just starting out and you intend on sticking with Apple, (or you can go with
Pro Tools First -it's free.) use Logic (or hell, even Garageband) for your tracks, but edit and mix the actual audio (use .BWF format) in Pro Tools. You'll thank me later. Be sure to save an extra copy of your stems and masters
without a bus limiter at 24/96. That's what the labels and mastering houses want. Plus, if Apple continues to make weaker and weaker machines, you can move your professional software to a PC. The Avid software interface is identical, so you can have one very thin Mac for social media, and you can have another machine for CPU-intensive audio work. (You can't cheat in pro audio with GPUs, that's why all these Mac Pro users are so pissed about the Mini's and thin-books, etc.)
The greatest MIDI software editor is still Opcode's Vision/Vision DSP/Studio Vision Pro. It's too bad that Gibson (now a lifestyle products company like Marshall) bought it and killed it before a lot of you could discover it.
Best of luck. Now get back to work, you!
