Hi Rob
Interesting. We must compare notes sometime, since we seem to be using a lot
of the same software. I noticed recently you used Logic Audio AND you're on
a relatively old version, like myself - 4.7. But it's been working very
reliably on my G4 for a few years now, and that's been a pleasure.
When I worked in the music biz I used to use cubase, but I've never quite
got to grips with the midi side of logic (and the environment). Maybe one
day. I basically use it for listening through files and compositing/editing
stuff, sometimes with a voice-over. I quite like the EQ, though overall the
sound is not quite up to my old dinosaur Yamaha CBX-D5 - now that was a nice
sounding processor. Just impossible to control.
Aren't you tempted to move up to a more recent version on OSX?
Best wishes, Geoff.
