Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

With the kind permission of our list owner GAmoore, I'd like to 
indulge you with an announcement.

As most of you know, software-based musical instruments - virtual 
instruments - have been having a huge effect on the way music is 
created. That's especially true at the commercial level, but nowadays 
everyone with a computer has access to some pretty serious tools. 
Everyone with a Mac gets GarageBand, for example, which is a lot more 
than just a toy. And the instruments that come in Logic Express and 
Pro are as serious as anything out there.

There's a vibrant sub-culture of musicians and developers all over 
the world who are way into V.I.s. (and sample libraries, of course). 
Scandinavia and the Netherlands are hotbeds of V.I. activity, there's 
a lot going on in Australia - it's all over. Even Russia. And it's 
growing quickly.

A while ago it occurred to me that this rather exciting new musical 
medium deserves its own magazine. And being an ardent user myself, as 
well as knowing a little bit about putting a magazine together (as 
you may know, I was the editor of Recording magazine for over a 
decade), I felt qualified to be the guy to spearhead it. :)

And the rest is turning into history. Virtual Instruments magazine's 
mission is pretty simple: to help musicians get the most from their 
V.I.-based rigs.

I've managed to put together a world-class team of writers, who are 
turning in really great articles - and I say that as an enthusiast as 
well as a man with an ax to grind. You'll recognize some of their 
names - these are all highly credible, experienced people.

So please visit our website (www.Virtualinstrumentsmag.com). Check 
out the cover and table of contents, and if you like what you see, 
please support the magazine by subscribing.

Many thanks, NB
