Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I hope this post doesnt get filtered out. I think its important. I finally got my logic 7 pro 
two days ago and it is awesome!!! I say don't get discouraged because for about two 
months I would read all these post and ,honestly, I was scared of getting logic 7 because it 
seems all i read was about problems I never even dreamed about when considering a 
recording program. 

Anyway I finally decided to get it and got ready for a big pain in the butt installation with 
trying to configure stuff that should be done manually. Also I heard this was the hardest 
program to learn and it wasnt very intuitive and stuff like that. You guys out there read the 
same things as me ,you know what i am talking about. All that stuff was opposite for me...

I installed it and was playing with the soft synths in about 30 minutes. No problems or 
crazy things happening, just a killer looking and sounding program.

I will say this there is alot to learn about the program because there is alot of features to 
the program. learning Logic 7 doesnt seem bad. I thought I was going to be going crazy 
trying to do basic stuff. Something I learned about all this digital program stuff, for me is , 
if you learn basic funtions of one you just have to find where the functions are on the 
other. I mean I learn midi editing and working with sequencers from reason 2.5 and alot is 
the same, to me..

So, IMHO, dont be like me and be scared of this program because it is a awesome and 
creative pallette to make music. this program where take you where you need to go. It will 
work with you on what ever level you are on.

>Yeah Ga, About the asst, When i was setting up i frogot to the little part about having the 
xskey in so on my 2 usb port i had to connect my midi port after the setup started and 
iwas like, " man now its not going to read it" but all i had to do was write the name in and 
what port it would be on and it wsas there when i started up the program.

GA about the books and dvd's what IYHO are the best between the  apple logic traing 
series from peach press or the logic book and dvd's from thomson . they do they master 
seriess. actually none of thse came out yet for Logic 7 just fro 6. I think I  saw a couple 
books on Logic 7 actually maybe one. I am a book dvd junkie and i went on the wagon for 
a while. I figured I should wait to see what came with logic first.

I bought Apple Pro Training Logic 6 and thought it was
great. You can't go wrong w/ ver.7 if and when it is
released.  JP

I will say that despite L7 still crashing for me, the actual install was 
pretty painless.  I took my fear of a pain-in-the-butt install and 
turned it into power :-).  I followed all of the posts on the other 
group, keeping up with which AU's were being updated, mistakes other had 
made during installation, etc.  I upgraded to L7 after all of my AU's 
were supposedly updated to work with it.

I still need to figure out which one of my plugs is crashing L7, but I 
don't have time for that right now.  I am so close...I think that Waves 
5.0.1b4 is the culprit.  Aside from that, install was smooth and L7 
seems to run pretty well here.

Good luck,
