Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hey y'all --

I posted this at the LUG and never got a response ... I was hoping someone
here might have an idea -- I understand it's not quite a Logic issue, but
I'm looking for the collective wisdom ...  If you have an idea that can help
me, please reply.  I know it's a pretty long message, I was just trying to
be as detailed as possible.

Thanks!  I'm really happy to be a part of this new group.

-- Mike
