The Logic Off Topic list

May I also add to this getting xskeys in case your Logic Pro 6 xskey 
does not work in future must also be a worry. Steinberg have released
a licence transfer key you can purchase for their products. I suggest 
Apple/Emagic does the same time. The new mac Logic Pro7 xskeys work
on 
a hidden system and quite frankly even when you run fxpansion to 
convert vsti's Logic Pro 7 has problems. Also Latency in ASIO VS Core 
Audio vs Mas guess which driver works the best test it and see - 
certainly not core audio ?! And why does waveburner only recognise 
Logic Pro 7 Bounces and not DP4.5'S yet Itunes does recognise the
same 
file.

and studer 24 track machines, a poorly designed machine would put a 
company out of business in a fortnight. And there are laws protecting 
the consumer from the sale of faulty, defective, or dangerous 
products. My experience with software, is strictly this; Software is 
the only product/industry which can get away with selling a known 
defective product, market the hell out of it and have the right to 
charge you for the upgrades to solve the problems they knew about in 
version 1. The last version of Logic made by emagic is version 6 pro. 
I have been using it on a standard dual CPU g4 since version 5 (about 
3 years) with flawless operation. I refuse(d) to upgrade from any 
version to any version, just because a vendor says it is new and 
improved. I watch and wait to see that it actually works. I am a 
degreed computer engineer who refuses to work in the computer
industry 
for this very reason. So maybe a word of caution to anyone who uses 
software in case you haven't had this experience yet is just because 
they are selling it and touting it as new and improved doesn't mean
it 
works. Remember that beta testers are not testing the release
version, 
and although their input may or may not be used in defining the final 
release, it doesn't mean that it works.
