Not to burst your bubble - but there are dozens of Apple User Groups
that have been in existence for years before this one...
I think the word does get around though. And I think some emagic people are on various lists including this one - at least reading if not posting much. Many people are on multiple lists too, so there is a cross fertilizaton of ideas. And sometimes a smaller group is better - imagine trying to decide on dinner if 20,000 people were involved in the decision. The Apple Forums for Logic are not that old but they are really better in many ways than the lists. So all together there are, and should be even more different avenues for communication amoung the many hundreds of thousands of users.
Why? These groups are not for Apple's benefit, they are for ours. If
belonging to this group helps you use Logic better, that is more
valuable than anything.
We - the users and the developers - are a symbiant pair. We need each other and we both need Logic to be good and easy to use. Logic would die if people stop buying it and using it. If it were too hard to use or missing important features, then people would migrate to other software. In fact, I have already seen some people do that - going to Nuendo, Protools, or Paris (there used to be a famous and very active member of the LUG who totally gave up on Logic some years ago). Its a two way street - although Apple and Emagic might appear standoffish officially. They must keep their ear to wind to see what is happening in the world ... I think Abelton Live has influenced Apple Loops and all that stuff now built into Logic. Somehow the word gets around....
> What is on your wishlist for Logic 8?
An easy arpeggiator plug in. Kind of like how UltraBeat works. Also
more delay types with more control over them.
Thats a good idea. I guess the matrix editor is kinda like an arp.
I kinda wish the mixer page would fit my cinema display without having scroll left to right or up and down. I would prefer smaller faders but where I can see everything at once.
I often wanted a cleaner single window but with pallets in the window which are customizable in size and shape to a little greater degree than now.
I would also like to be able to do some more interesting midi things to a melody to make a theme and variations automatically.
I wouild like to see a PAN diagram showing which tracks are panned to which position - a half circle with track numbers on the periphery of the circle show dead center or left or right to what degree.
