Yesterday in the studio I decided to risk Logic 7.

The reason for this was three-fold. Firstly you gotta do it sometime - and with all the exciting synths etc .. Secondly the singer for the band I was recording could sing in tune so I wasn't so worried about a lack of Autotune .. Thirdly - the Bass Player in the band is my local Mac dealer - so if I got any problems - he could check out the hardware side of things.

I've got to say this was the most embarrasing day in the studio I have ever had. And I've been working on music production for 5 years (3 with logic).

When I first started using logic on a PC and got hold of an "evaluation" version I used to get loads of crashes - but I expected that - and it showed me what a great engine Logic was - and encouraged me to go out and buy the full version.

Yesterday was worse than PC time. I logged all the crashes I got in a notebook - I had 15 throughout the course of the 6 hour session - for reasons as diverse as cancelling a bounce - to saving (!?!) - to editing a frozen track.

Even the track automation wouldn't work properly in places. We got several instances of files that were okay being converted from 24 bit to 8 bit format - which meant lost takes - nightmare. One of these files was two days old!

I think my local dealer was even more embarrased than I was - fortunately it was his takes that were lost.

Our conclusion - you're better off running a crap PC with a hacked version of Logic than running Logic Pro 7 on a G5 powermac.

Our recommendation - use Logic 6.4 - which we ended up doing after 6 hours of hell and lost takes. Definately don't use Logic 7 if you have a paying customer sat next to you - it will cost you more than you paid for the software.

When will Apple sort out some bug fixes?
