Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

The thing that makes it hard to try out, is that its a hardware/software 
combination so you can't download a demo version. And I never see this stuff set 
up to be played with in Guitar Center or Sam Ash. But Guitar Center has a 30 
day return policy.

One slightly misleading thing is that the levels are hotter with the 
liquidmix stuff on. I basically put one eq and one compressor on each of the four 
channels (drums, bass, guitar, and string pad). The AFTER shouldn't be that 
distorted though. Everything sounds more ballsy, present, warmer and fuller to me 
with the liquid mix.

One big problem for me, is that there are so many high end compressors and 
eq's and I don't know which one to use in which situation.
