If you were used to Logic, I'd say give Cubase, Reaper, StudioOne, or MixCraft a shot. Those will probably all have a similar enough workflow that you'll be able to adjust reasonably quickly.

Thanks for the suggestions!

That's unfortunate. I used Logic when I was 16 (and one of my friends also uses it). Back in those days before they discontinued it on Windows it was very much Logic vs Cubase. Have you tried using Cubase? There will be some adjustment of course, but it might feel the least alien to you, strictly interface wise.

It's not an easy solution as Logic comes with so many instruments, whereas with Cubase you might find yourself short out of the box. Do you have any hardware? Reason is another possibility as it comes with a lot of instruments bundled in. The only disadvantage with Reason is that you will find yourself limited if you want to purchase hardware and high quality cinematic vsts later, as Reason doesn't support vsts itself. What DAWS have you looked at so far?

The ones I remember off the top of my head are FL studio, Sonar , and something from sony? there where a few others but it's been a while. I haven't heard of Cubase however , nor tried Reason yet. I will certainly look into them both.

As for hardware I have a Yamaha MX49 that's just kind of sitting around, I never could get logic to recognize it as a controller. ( I also have Komplete 9 so I do have things to work with as long as the program is compatible.)

Hey folks, I'm in a bit of a pickle and I was hoping for some advice?

I'm an aspiring composer/re-mixer Still in the early stages of learning my way around things. For a good 2 years I was working on a macbook with Logic pro 8, about a year ago however said macbook decided to explode a little. I have another computer but its a windows 7 machine, and I've been struggling to find a program to replace Logic. I really liked how simple it was, it felt like all the features and menus flowed in the same place with easy access to anything I needed. That may just be because I was comfortable with the program, but I've yet to find anything on windows that felt  the same way ( or weren't terrifyingly complex.) So would anyone happen to have some recommendations  for me? 

I realize there are a few different threads on this forum addressing different programs and their features, but I've not seen anything addressing it from this angle. I do apologize if there is such a thread and I'm double posting however!
