Re: [Logic_Cafe] Comparing The Basics - Logic VS the Competition

I also use the limiter alot (The UAudio LA2A limiter still allows overloads, whereas the Logic limiter seems to be more of a brick wall limiter which clamps down on spikes). Its simple, but I also like the low cut and high cut filters for quick eq sculpting.
I haven't use the logic autotune yet, but I think that will save me the upgrade fee if/when Antares updates autotune, mic modeler, etc to AU. The Ringshifter is a nice addition which seems similar to a GRM and a Prosoniq plug. The logic plug might not be quite as good but since its "free" and does pretty much the same thing, its quite useful.
Bitcrusher is useful, and the Guitar Amp - although they really don't replace a decent valve simulation. I wish they would just license the POD software.
And there are the Logic unique things like the auto-filter and Evoc20 suite. By the way, I really liked the vocoder on the Nord Modular where you could send bands randomly crisscrossing - but neither the evoc20 nor vokator can do that.
I think one of my main wishes for Logic 7.1 would be to extend the node distribution to 3rd party plugs. I heavily rely on several non-Logic soft synths but the system gets bogged down quickly and then starts crashing. I think that feature would be the 'tipping point' to get a G5 and farm out the G4 for node duty.
By the way, I read an article that you can connect nodes through Firewire if you don't have gigabit ethernet.
