The Logic Off Topic list

I don't know why, but it always seems to me any new setup [audiocard,
computer, OS update, s/w update] seems to have a settling-in
period, when half your time seems to be spent troubleshooting, then all
of a sudden everything selltles down and becomes totally
transparent, and music becomes easy again. I think what happens is we
often actually change our modus-operandus to suit the quirks
of the new setup, maybe, without realising it.
