Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

OK, I also have to come in here and defend myself:

Well, that didn't help then either, now did it? I 
know lots of people who have reported this 
sluggish behaviour on the slow machines we are 
using. So this is an issue and it can be done 
better because it was better in 6.

Me again:
Group assignment, save dialog box, the EXS preferences. (see below)

Well, what can I say, to this day I'm getting it 
with Logics own windows and with those of other 
plug-ins (mainly Filterscape in this case) but it 
happened with all sorts of save dialogs (song, 
channel strip, preset)

What am I supposed to write? How I opened the box?

In Logic 6 there is a catch setting named 
"enabled catch when sequencer starts" that is not 
present any longer in 7 and after trashing prefs 
you can _not_ go back to the catch function _not_ 
being enabled. I thought I was making myself 
clear, but obviously I wasn't. I'm sorry. I hope 
this is clearer. Also, this was confirmed by 
someone else.

I should add to this that I should have said: not 
_always_ working in sync. Most of the time it 
does but I've had instances where it doesn't.

Sorry, but how can I be more specific and how was this comment helpful?

When read closely one will see, that I was 
talking about the pop-up menu not the loading of 
an instruments.

And then there is some more stuff but frankly I find I'm getting childish.

Look. I know Dennis has helped out a lot and I 
also appreciate the help, however, I will not let 
the "whiner" just stand in the air when it is 
just not so. Unless what I was doing with those 
quotes is "whining", Then in fact I have to 
readjust my view and someone please tell me.

Other than that, nix für ungut!
