Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I keep hearing about latency.

Question:  Does this latency vary as the piece progresses?  If it does then what I am going 
to say next can be skipped over and go to the next paragraph.....

The latency problem has been around since the first sequencer I had-an Oby DSX.  It was 
not dealt with in the original software, as I recall, but new eproms came out with new 
features and you replaced the first eprom with the new chip.  So, if the bass patch was a 
tad draggy, move it up, etc, etc.  It was available in EditTrack, (when I moved to a 
computer sequencer in the mid 80's) and was easy to lock in the groove.  This is available 
in Logic also to put the track "in the pocket".  And like I say, if the time varies during the 
tune, forget this paragraph!  This "fix" is predicated on a clock/time that doesn't vary.

As to the OSX strip down:  I just posted that letter I found because it seemed to me that 
some of the problems were caused by a "confuser" that was overloaded so if you dump a 
few things, (like an Eastern Siberian Husky font) you might gain enough "umph" to make  
Logic work and not crash.  So far, I haven't had the problem but I haven't gone much past 
a simple SMF as I try to sort this beast out!

However, I believe I am going to stick with my outboard gear for a long time after seeing/
hearing all the problems. <g>  I am too old to blaze any more trails!!
