Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Dear GA Moore,

I´ll refrain from entering the PT-L war. Your remark that PT´s MIDI  
functions back in good old v.6 was bad is absolutely correct but I  
fail to see the interest. I´d never touch PT6. Actually I never did.  
Didn´t open PT7 neither.
There is a reason why I, first and foremost a MIDI worker has switched  
after 20 years. There is also a reason why I didn´t switch until  
version 8. From your letter I gather you´re yet pretty unfamiliar with  
it.
They´re both great music making apps, Logic being the traditional MIDI  
player´s choice and Pro Tools the trad live and recording app.
But now with L8 and PT8 the gap has closed considerably.
To me personally L8 was a disappointment. it looks boring and did  
nothing to speed up my workflow, in fact quite the opposite. I still  
work (when in Logic) in v.7. To me L8 is a compromise from a company  
who´s turning away from it´s professional music makers.
Pro Tools is playing a totally different ballgame.

We´re giving advice to a guy who wants an app to work in tandem with  
Sibelius. Since the new Pro Tools MIDI abilities are now pretty much  
up to par with Logic, and it´s score and certainly audio capabilities  
are far superior I would without the shred of a doubt recommend  
working in PT8.
