The Logic Off Topic list

I would have thought the end result (ie a well recorded and produced piece
of music) depends more on the man (or woman) than on the machine.

Dont forget, you'll have to learn how a Mac works and may have to change
some gizmos (such as Midi interfaces, dongles etc) for the USB/firewire
equivalents, and we have all heard that these can cause problems.
