Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hi. Might be of interest to some. T

Thanks for the post about the manual online. I am still not finding 
much that entices me so I think I'll sit this dance out. The upgrade 
price from 7 and 7.1 were both the same (to 7.2).

Years ago I felt overwhelmed by Logic, and there were no books 
available and I used to read the LUG to glean tips. However, it took 
forever, much like reading the newspaper. I found I get more done by 
cancelling both, but checking occasionally.

I am thinking of this solution for my studio - instead of buying things 
made for audio, get those rack frames about 6 feet high that are used 
for computer networks and electronics gear (about $140 at Frys). They 
are open on the sides and back. And I was reading an article about 
someone recently where they were using something like this, and there 
is are advantages of lower cost, and also its easier to connect cables. 
I have some enclosed rack cases now, and I literally use a flashlight 
to see what is going on in them at times. I think it will be more 
efficient with room space too since I can mount my tabletop synths 
(Access Virus B for example) with rack ears - this making a compact but 
accessible control area.Plus Propellarheads had a very cool station 
made up of these kinds of racks at the NAMM show.

Ive been thinking the same thing myself.. Everything in our server  
room at work is in these, about 8 footers or so,  we have about 6 of  
them full.. For cable management and whatnot theyre great! Didnt even  
think to look at Frys, all the vendors Ive looked at at work were  
waaaay too expensive heh.. Think Ill have to run down there today..

Have a look at MilesTek as well.  http://www.milestek.com

They have some fairly inexpensive units.

Yep, it's always best to skip any upgrade you don't need, it's always  
cheaper in the end.
