ditto! Rch and I just went over how to turn off the midi stuff. He's
using v4 on PC for surround field recording/post.

Using the native mac dsp, its astonishingly powerful. I did not
anticipate that the addition of quality audio card (RME mulitiface
tibook G4) would make such a difference. I use very modest monitor
speakers and I found it much easier to hear and work with the quality
card. The Yamaha CBX-D5 is an interesting approach--maybe you took a
liking to the a-d or the processor algorithms. One can do full 24 bit
sub/mastering in v4.8.1 with a $150 in plugs like Wave's Maxx Bundle.

Ha, That's my task this morning!-- v5.5.1 and regretting I didn't
wait another week because the v6 Pro was announced last week at only
$300 (ed price) and its an easier transition plug-in wise. For
involved EQ or processing, I find real time plugs a blessing because
one can save the settings to easily tweak later and have fewer/better
quality generations. For a MAJOR EQ boost: Firium and Equim ($150)
will run/save in Logic v 4.7. Nothing to fear in the freebie jump to
4.8.1, BTW) Rob D.
