Hello....
I will be running Logic Studio on iMac 20" 2.16. Korg keyboard, Kirtzweil Micro Piano, and possibly the Yamaha Drum machine. Has anyone had experience with Logic Studio and Apogee Duet? The Duet does not have faders... looks like a knob.. Apple says it is designed for Logic... I am also looking at PreSonus Firebox with Alpha Track USB controller.. Will appreciate your ideas. Also... What firewire external Hard drive is the Best for audio production on the iMac? (Firewire, 7200, size GB? manufacturer?) Thanks, sounds2me -------------------- [FONT=Impact][SIZE=4]

Dear Members,
Just got the latest issue of Sound On Sound. They are featuring 'Apple Logic 8'. Price, £319. No XS Key is required. Only a serial number. Comes with 10 DVD's. Installation can take over a hour. Pros: Intuitive single-window interface makes Logic easier and faster to use. Improved mixer and audio engine, with better surrond support annd the ability to record busses internally. Many long-standing issues heve been addressed such as sample-accurate region editing. Cons: Many long standing issues still haven't been addressed such as the tick-based MIDI delays and the lack of full support for Macs with more than two processing cores. MIDI functionality has stayed much the same, with no improved editing for composing music. Surrond functionality has improved, but is still lagging behind some of the competiton. Summary: Logic Pro 8 is a significent achievement. It makes advanced music production tools accessible, both in terms of features and price, without alienating exsisting users. Never thought I would leave Logic 5. Then I said the same for 6 and 7. Looks like I will be making the move to 8. It's the move to 10.4.9 or later that I'm concerned about. Too much info for this Post and my weak typing. For full details, go to soundonsound.com |
