hello members, i'm a music producer where i'm producing currently on reaper with windows from 4 to 5 years, but recently, I have got a macbook m1 with 256 GB of ssd thinking that, I can learn logic as I'm having an idea of reaper but, i'm feeling dificult to work. does logic is not that accessible or i'm not able to understand the software i'm confused. I love to learn logic as it is used by many sited folks out their. I would be glad if someone get connected with me personally to teach me to use logic.

Both are great in accessibility, but for me, reaper wins
Thing is, both daws are fully accessible, per ample experiense using both daws. However, while logic is accessible, it is not the most user friendly, I.e, you have to interact with x control or aria to get where you want, amung other stuff, which, when it comes to workfloe... Kinda, slows you down, at least it did for me. In reaper though you can get to things quickly and it just feels way smoother, in my opinion, thus between these two daws, for me? Reaper wins hands down. But both are fully accessible, per your main question.
Logic is fully accessible, but as i've stated, can be quite... unfriendly. I'm not saying this to discourage you, but just letting you know that it might be a bit overwhelming to get a hold of.

Reaper is a clear winner
Reaper is quite accessible however you need to switch to QuickNav Off navigation sometimes for things to work for you. Also You need to download the add-on that makes it more accessible. Well forgive the spelling, but it sounds something like Osara.
re, reaper is a clear winner
I have an activity set up that whenever I'm in reaper, quicknav gets disabled automatically and cannot be toggled via both left and right arrow keys. Honestly I'd say that if your used to reaper on windows, stick with it on the mac if that's what you've been used to using. I've tried looking into the website the second poster linked to but, even though it provides clear steps to do x and y... Still too logic is too clunky for my liking.
Why would you want to learn both?
Logic Pro does it all. Why learn both Logic Pro and Reaper? Reaper doesn't do anything Logic Pro doesn't already do.
Yes but
If he's @op is more familiar withh reaper, why would he want to learn logic? I know both because I used logic before I used reaper. Astually for me it went like this, I started with amadeus pro, then tried giving logic a shot, I didn't like it, then I learned pro tools because that's what they taught at my college as a daw, then reaper, and I have never gone back to any daw after reaper, but I still have the know how in multiple daws. , However as for the why? The more daws you know, the better.
Re: Why would you want to learn both?
As a person who has a studio and has been doing production and music professionally for a long time, logic is great for some things but not great for other stuff in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with learning both it's just another daw to have in your tool box. For example, I'll use logic for making beats and sometimes audio engineering and reaper, if I'm doing hard core editing which I can tell you right now, logic is not well at all when it comes to editing. More over, there's been some things that logic has had issues with accessibility wise that apple have still yet to fix and it's been a few years ever since the sampler broke and apple have done nothing to fix. Once more automation is doable, but not fully accessible. However, their are workarounds. Reaper, you can use automation in the confidence in the fact that you can move and edit your points where you want and do whatever you need to. Logic, you can but it's more complex than it needs to be when using VO. I also use reaper for mastering as I have meters that I can see what I'm doing when it comes to that sort of thing. I also plan on buying Ableton in the future as well. I'm a firm believer in different daws does different things for different people so take this as you will. Fact some sighted people have different daws in their tool box that they use for different things. However, with that being said, if you know reaper, I'd stick to that as it's pretty much the same on both mac and windows. There is no one size fits all here at all. If ya wanna learn logic, great. If you wanna stick to reaper, also great. Whatever fits your work flow. Once more, you may find that logic will do some things better for you than reaper and vice versa.
