Re: Logic Pro X Initial Findings
So, do you still then need me to do those things we discussed off list? If not then you need to let me know privately, so I can book studio time for someone else instead. Please with all due respect, don't keep me waiting any longer than necessary.

Haven't got that far as yet. However, we're starting to wonder whether ProTools would be worth while for our needs as we're only wanting to do multi-track recording, mixing and editing. If Logic works, then great. My problem re ProTools is that I don't think you can buy/download on line. You have to wait for boxed shipments it seems, which I am not willing to do. Regarding the iLocker, I thought that was only for the free trial. I actually have one of those smart dongles but haven't got around to using it yet. I meant to try ProTools a while back, and again yesterday but if you cannot buy/download, then it's a damp squibb for me and I'll just have to hope that Logic works, or else resort to the less powerful tools like Reaper and Amadeus Pro. Those tools are quite powerful and I'm not knocking them. But I don't believe they have the multi-track / mixing functionality of ProTools or Logic Pro X by quite a way.

Logic Pro X Initial Findings
Hi all Well, I've only just started playing and the downloading of the additional plug-ins and sample instruments is huge, just under 50GB in total. So far, I can only say that the in initial projects window is much more accessible than the previous version of Logic Pro that I tried on my brother-in-law's Mac about a year ago. All I got that time was Unknown, unknown, from VoiceOver. Now, I am getting the correct project status read as I scroll through the demos. Too soon to get over-excited but one thing I can tell you. It supports GarageBand projects and enhances them according to the documentation. So if you've used GB to create a project, you can import it into Logic Pro X and do enhanced work. It comes with over a thousand samples, loops and virtual instruments. It is this aspect which excites me because if indeed it is fully GarargeBand compatible, then my M-Audio keyboard should work. I'm hoping to be able to create some audio content for our radio projects, amongst other things. I've been talking to a friend of mine today who runs a company which produces audio stuff for use on commercial radio and TV. If you are a Smooth Radio listener here in the UK, you'll have heard Alex's work and actually I believe he's also done some stuff for US radio organisations as well. But anyway I'm getting off the point. The point here is that Alex has told me that he's more than interested to see how this goes with regards accessibilit y. It could be of use to him as well if I can help him with some of his work load. He uses ProTools primarily, with a 24-bit digital mixer console purchased from the BBC when they decommissioned it. That is the core of his studio setup. But he uses a lot of hardware music-creation stuff which I can only dream about! He is more than willing to help me though if this works. That's why Lynne decided to take the plunge and test it. If it works, great, so much the better for us all.

Re: Logic Pro X Initial Findings
Gordon, I have not purchased Logic X yet, as already have Logic 9 Studio which I used to use whilst I could see. Since Logic 8, you have always been able to import Garage Band projects, so nothing new here. Most of the library which you download for Logic X, used to come on various DVDs with logic 9 Studio. Were you not tempted to purchase Pro Tools? Pro Tools is much more accessible on the Mac than Logic. I think Logic is fantastic value for money, so do hope Voiceover support is improved.

Re: Logic Pro X Initial Findings
I'm not yet sure of 100% accessibility. Haven't got that far as yet. However, we're starting to wonder whether ProTools would be worth while for our needs as we're only wanting to do multi-track recording, mixing and editing. If Logic works, then great. My problem re ProTools is that I don't think you can buy/download on line. You have to wait for boxed shipments it seems, which I am not willing to do. Regarding the iLocker, I thought that was only for the free trial. I actually have one of those smart dongles but haven't got around to using it yet. I meant to try ProTools a while back, and again yesterday but if you cannot buy/download, then it's a damp squibb for me and I'll just have to hope that Logic works, or else resort to the less powerful tools like Reaper and Amadeus Pro. Those tools are quite powerful and I'm not knocking them. But I don't believe they have the multi-track / mixing functionality of ProTools or Logic Pro X by quite a way.

iLocier, as it's called, requires the use of a smart dongle. You create an account and then buy a dongle.
