Dp Or Logic Pro 8? Why Not Both?, The Experiment Options

[deepplay]

I'm posting this thread to request your opinions and experiences in using Logic Pro 8 IN ADDITION to DP. How dare could I ask for this you ask? Well, give a read to the DP Corner posted at audiomidi.com titled "DP or Logic Pro 8" and then come back and share your thoughts. As I begin my experiment with using both I plan to post my findings here. So what do you think? Can they or should they both co-exist on the same system? Is there a reason to have both? How do you use them? Why would you or would you not switch?

Hi des,

Welcome over to the light side (mac that is) I very much doubt you will regret your change of teams. I don't know anyone who has switched and regretted it; especially if you are music and graphics focused. Without knowing what your budget is, or exactly what your needs are i would recommend an RME fireface (the RME drivers are fully leopard compatible and fully 64bit) or something from MOTU or ECHO if you are on a bit lower budget. I will say however that you should spend as much as you can afford on your interface as it is the most important piece of hardware you are likely to buy for your studio and means the difference between wonder/sparkle and shudder/cringe. but before I go on any further before I or any of the other more knowledgeable users on this forum (of which there are many )can really answer your question we need to know more about your needs and constraints. eg. = how many parts do you want to record simultaneously or if are you going to be using soft synths and plugins exclusively? will you be wanting to use it live? and do you also require some sort of mixer control facility? as there are quite a few interface/mixer combination units becoming available; such as the tascam unit mentioned already by minehead.

Anyway; there's some food for thought happy mac using.
