Hi! One thing that annoys me is that logic isn’t getting further beeing accessible. Of course i could get reaper but what i want is logic with all its instruments and such. This might sound very strange for you guys who seem able to afford such tools as protools. But i don’t want to spend all my income per month on a musical creation tool. I just can’t. Sure if i had money i’d buy that but i have to face reallity. /A > On 20 May 2016, at 14:53, Christopher-Mark Gilland <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Scott, > > I'll be really honest with you.
