I have to say: As a drummer, I hate canned drum sounds. The 64-bit architecture supports projects featuring hundreds of tracks and instruments, so if you're a composer, it's like heaven. If you're looking to make polished, professional-sounding recordings, without a ton of complexity, then Logic Pro X is where it's at. The powerful app has all the tools you could want for mixing, editing, and songwriting, with a massive library of instruments and effects. Logic Pro X is Apple's pro-level music editing software that still manages to be accessible to beginners. You can even start a song on your iPhone and then finish it on your Mac! Use iCloud to store your projects or share them with friends for collaboration. If you're not satisfied with the instruments available, you can also purchase instrument packs to get different sounds. You can upload your own recordings to GarageBand and mix them with the digital instruments, or you can create an entire song using just your recordings or just the instruments found in GarageBand. The interface is easy to use and though the app is powerful and full of controls, it's not overwhelming or as involved as some of the more professional audio editors. GarageBand uses the same Drummer digital session player as Logic Pro X (though to a lesser extent in terms of available sounds) and is the perfect app to help you start creating and mixing songs - especially if you're a super novice. That means, if you're new to music or a hobbyist, GarageBand is where it's at.

Apple includes their entry-level GarageBand music editing app with every new Mac.
