Which one should you pick?
Pick Logic Pro if
You’re building around mac producers. Logic Pro is the best $200 you can spend on a Mac if you want a real DAW that also does podcast work — the one-time price beats Pro Tools' subscription rental within a year. It's still music-first under the hood though, so dialogue-dedicated tools like Hindenburg will edit interviews faster.
Pick VEED Editor if
You’re building around browser clip editing. VEED is a browser video editor that gets the basics genuinely right for podcasters: clean auto-captions, fast transcription, episode-to-clip templates. Heavier projects belong on a desktop, but for clip work it's fast and pleasant.
