NAMM / Logic Development
2006-01-23 by GAmoore@aol.com
Logic has a large area with maybe 8 G5's and a "class room" area. I saw Phil Jackson giving a number of Logic demos at NAMM. It was pretty good, although fast. You pretty much had to already know how to use it well. But there were also garageband and other apple s/w demonstrations.
In talking to some other people there - I got the impression although no one said this directly - but Apple's move to Intel is, in effect, slowing down other development. I believe Logic is alreayd compatible with the new Intel macs and this required universal binary coding. So it was a big deal to not ship the new computer without all the software working on it.
Also, one of the 3rd party companies let it slip out (or perhaps it was a mis-spoken comment) that there is a Logic 7.2, which has evidently not been released yet.
I asked one of the Apple gurus about my ongoing problem with strange key command behaviour. He recommnended trashing the prefs (located in your user preferences). So I'll try that.
I also played a fretless electric guitar with a metal fretboard made in France - sounded like playing a slide guitar on everything.
