Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

My mac has not been cooperating lately, so I have no comparisons to  
upload yet, but do have some times.  I took a small rhythm sample and  
doubled the pitch for one comparison, then halved the speed for  
another.  Mind you, it is a small file, so seemingly small differences  
would be greatly magnified were you to do this to a 3-minute song.   
Also keep in mind that these are not "real-time" processes.  They are  
rendered "offline."

Double Pitch
Logic 8.8 sec
PnT 3.5
Radius 6.0

Half Speed
Logic 9.8
PnT 5.0
Radius 9.3

The Radius numbers are probably a tad high, because after I hit  
"process" and started the clock,  a window popped up and I had to hit  
"cancel" before it would process.  That probably added about 0.5  
seconds to Radius' times.

Regardless, Pitch 'n Time is far faster than the other two, and Radius  
is consistently faster than native Logic, but not as fast as PnT.

For some reason, my file references are screwed right now, or I'd have  
uploaded these files for y'all.  Can anyone help with the following:

I process file #1.   When I play file #2 in the audio window, it plays  
fine.  But when I double click to load it into the sample editor, file  
#1 plays.  I exported them all to mp3 and tried playing them back  
through quicktime, and again, half the files played wrong, in that when  
I played the "original" file, I actually heard one of the processed  
files.  This is not me naming the files wrong, as I have tried it  
several times with the same result.  Weird.

Anyway, I hope the numbers help your decision-making.

Gregory
