Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

More wishes and fixes for Logic   8 :

- in the matrix, i wish there were a channel tool like the velocity tool to 
change the midi channel of individual notes. anyone doing classical 
orchestrations using the higher end sample libraries knows what I am talking about where 
you have to change notes one by one to different channels. currently this only 
do-able using two screens - matrix and a list and going back and forth.

- in the list view, why can't i push the NOTES button to see just the notes, 
rather than pushing ALL the other buttons to exclude nothing but the notes?

- same issue with the mixer and the buttons for instruments, busses, etc. its 
a pain to get it right and contrary to logic.

- i have screen shots of weird graphic anonamlies - eg. on the main fader 
with extra sets of meter leds, or garbage characters

- if you have a file with a name like "abc/def" (when you meant "abc.def") it 
allows you to save as, but then when you hit save it gives a cryptic error 
that its not able to. 

- why not put some sort of basic limiter on all tracks and main output? no 
one wants to go over the digital max. Can't some super-efficient little limiter 
be place on everything automatically?

- how do you label AUX's with custom names? how do you make auxes and main 
outputs and such appear as arrange tracks? There used to be an 'inspector' on 
the environment/matrix window to rename, and also to choose to custom names, and 
to click the icon to make them appear on the arrange track. those seem to be 
impossible now.

- quite funky behaviour when you open 7.2 songs with busses, and try to 
delete them and use the AUX's. 

- whats with not being able to open old logic songs? I tried to open 
something last night and it said I needed to convert it useing Logic 7.2.1 or earlier 
- but L8 could not open it! I don't have 7.2 installed on this new computer.

- is it my imagination, or does the window linking not work properly many 
times now? I link two arrange windows, and click on an item on one window, but 
the other does not scroll to it.

- solo'ing an item can now throw Logic into global solo mode, so you hear 
nothing unless the item is selected. it did not work this way before.

- logic does not seem to recognize Autoload files no matter where they are 
placed.
