I admire you and Rob's ability to understand Logic.
I have been learning 4.7 Platinum on a PC and find it a very
difficult program.
It is not easy to migrate from Cooledit to Logic. The basic
conventions of even things like mouse clicks are different compared
to the microsoft world. The midi functions for me just get in the
way and can not be completely disregarded. ie to exceed a 2 gig wave
file you have to reset midi tempo and a few other settings.
I will learn it though because I can record with it in multitrack
over 2 gigs per file and it has very efficient use of CPU time. With
it I can record 4 channel 24/96 with a 266 mhz processor and the old
machine is just happy as can be. I still need to upgrade my RAM
because as soon as I start to use the EQ and other inserts I run out
of memory.
I guess upgrading is not available for me in the PC world and I would
not consider that anyway until the entire laptop computer is upgraded.
On Cooledit Pro LE, it has no multisession and really should not have
carried the "Pro" in the title. It is based on the old Cooledit and
can not handle long file names and has little in the way of filters.
Many received it enclosed with a purchase of a UA-30 as a promotion
and this is why it is not upgradable to the Audition. The good news
is that to install Cooledit Pro LE you do not need connection to any
web site or serial numbers so it is easily portable to other
computers or easily sold.
