My music software became completely useless on catalina, and I was also running into issues with spotlight so I disabled it. I downgraded(painfully) to Mojave and my system is so much speedier. wish I could completely switch to linux.
- Logic had the pole position for non-pro-tools music at the time, and sold (IIRC) for about $600
- Apple bought Logic and stated publicly "we will not discontinue it on windows"
- I think a year later, might have been two, they cancelled it on windows
- Some time later, they dropped the price, and also put out garage band, using Logic's engine.
- Logic's product roadmap (from what I've heard) became more general user friendly (can't attest to this personally though)
Basically, anything Apple owns becomes part of the plan to get you on a mac and iEverything, secondary to whatever it's originally purpose is. I won't touch any music software now that doesn't run on at least 2 operating systems. Fortunately most of them now realize the importance of this.
I'd recommend looking at other options like Reaper, Cubase, or Digital Performer, all of which have been improving steadily and can on windows or OSX.
Personally I'm sticking on High Sierra, and doubt my next machine will be a mac. Man I'm going to miss Bash everywhere though. Sigh
