Oh, if only things went as smoothly as it appeared. Nothing too terrible, really, but I was not able to install the Jam Packs on my external drive, which was a pain because my laptop's HD is too small. I knew when I inserted the content disk for the Jam Packs and it said I had to use the Logic DVD to install that this was likely to be the case, and it was. Because they live in the Library/Application Support I guess they have to be on the system disk.
Playing around with things my first take is that there isn't that much that's spectacularly new - but it does somehow seem a little more streamlined and scaled up. I wish I could change the UI appearance like I can in the new Adobe CS3 products because I like a dark interface - I looked in prefs but didn't find anything immediately obvious. But the small improvements do seem to add up to a useful upgrade. It works well with GarageBand which I use a lot for roughing things out. Also nice to have soundtrack because it's easier to use for post with video/ motion graphics projects. And plenty of sounds to play with for starters. Overall, it looks like a nice package for a reasonable price. Now I will use it for work projects and see what the deeper pros and cons are.
Will report in. Would like to hear from others who get it up and running (it was a long install - something like 4 plus hours, needing tending every 30 minutes for 3 of them).

Have you tried moving the Jam Packs after the install and placing an Alias in the Lib/App Support folder? I'm going to be installing the new Logic across a suite of 12 studios soon and we're hoping to put the libraries on a central server to save hard disk space (we have gigabit ethernet so it should be plenty fast enough). Will report back on the experience.
