    Get both. Each one has its advantages.

    If I had a Mac, I'd definitely use Logic and then get Reason later if I couldn't buy both at the same time. I currently use Reason/Record and sample in some sounds from my Triton. Love the quickness of being able to toss something together. Reason was the closest thing to making beats on a keyboard which I started doing 12 years ago.

    Reason rewired to logic is pretty much an ultimate set up..

    I would also recommend you to get both. I work with Reason and Pro Tools, which is great, too. Actually I think all of this DAWs, no matter if Cubase, Nuendo, Logic, Pro Tools whatever are great. First of all its just a matter of getting used to the workflow. I myself after years of Pro Tools can use it with closed eyes. Sometimes in other studios I have to work with Logic, which I like too very much, but as Im not so used to it always takes me longer to figure out how I can do what I wanna do.

    But no matter how much I love Pro Tools, there are some things I miss, for example an offline bounce or a possibility to bounce single tracks in kinda batch function. Just had do bounce the single tracks of a song yesterday, it literally takes an eternity, I hate that. So you see each program has its advantages and some small things that could be better.

    Logic Pro comes with a pretty big database with sounds though I think.

    Well you ll need an interface then with midi in/out (or has it usb? I dont know) and you ll need 2 audio inputs in that interface.

    Connect midi out from the fantom to midi in of the interface (to trigger from fantom to mac) and midi in from fatom to midi out of the interface (to trigger back from logic to tha fantom). Connect Left and Right output of the fantom to 2 channels of your interface.

    Then Im not sure how to do in logic but what you will need in general is a midi track where you chose the interface's midi in/out and a stereo audiotrack connected to the inputs with the fantom on it. Activate the rec mode of the audio track and hit a key on the fantom.
