Edit Logic Pro files on Windows

[jmak]

Looking for advice on whether there is a recommended software package and method for working on music files created in Logic Pro for students who don't have a Mac at home.

 

Ideally hoping for information on what type of export is best (AAF, audio or midi) and which software would be easiest to use for a student used to using Logic Pro.

 

Thanks

Unfortunately there are a ton of variables, including the money you're willing to invest, the size of the project, the students PC at home...

In terms of software there are a ton of alternatives as a lot of them have the same features but (assuming there's no budget for more software) several of them have free trials allowing you to Create and save files but not open previous project files and only export MIDI. Software such as Reason and FL Studio have this type of trial, you could export files from school and then import them at home however a lot of sense of control is lost and the work flow is quite long especially if they're working with multiple tracks. But then bringing them back is the issue.

 

RE: Exporting. MIDI is great because its universal and small and any DAW can read it, the same for WAV audio. AAF is primarily for Avid products so I would stick to MIDI and WAV to keep things simple.
