The Logic Off Topic list

I used to have Cakewalk Professional 8 until I traded it in for Logic Audio
Gold for £129 (at Sound Technology, UK - www.soundtech.co.uk).

I am now not sure whether getting Logic Audio was a good idea.  I am finding
it difficult to get the hang of, never mind master it - whereas with
Cakewalk, I mastered most of it in a short time (although I had used an
older version a long time before that).  I am 15 and doing one of my GCSE
(UK exams for 14 - 16 year olds) Music compositions, which has to be mostly
finished in about two weeks

It would be interesting if anyone would like to share their opinion on
whether I should stick with Logic Audio or go back to Cakewalk.  I have been
in touch with Et Cetera (the UK Cakewalk distributor), and they have told me
I could send Logic Audio to them and they would give me Cakewalk Pro Audio 9
for £79, as if I was upgrading from Cakewalk Professional 8.  The problem is
, if I take that I'll be losing out on £129 - and I'll need to buy a
seperate notation program (probably Cakewalk Overture 2).

I'd be interested to know what other people think of this - should I stick
with Logic Audio (and probably struggle), or go back to Cakewalk?  I asked a
friend who's into computers (but not really music software), and he said
that the best programs are complicated to use at first.

Does anyone know if it is possible to install a second SCSI hard disc in a
7100/80 without any major problems?
Thanks

Thanks for all the replies.  Much to your dismay, I imagine, I'm probably
just about to go and buy Cakewalk.

Thanks again,
Michael

Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 has been bought (along with Cakewalk Overture 2). I
thought I had to send Logic Audio to him and pay £79 as a trade-into get Pro
Audio 9 (the price of an upgrade from Professional 8 to PA 9 (which I sent
to the Emagic distributor as a trade-in for Logic Audio).  , but the bloke I
bought it off never did actually say that I had to send Logic Audio back to
him.  So he may have meant "You can keep Logic and we'll pretend you still
Pro 8, and we'll give you an upgrade.,"

So, chances are, I'll be able to KEEP Logic Audio (hopefully!), AND get
Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 for cheap.  Sounds good to me...:-)
