+1.Well capabilities aren't the rub, really; there's no one size fits all approach to building a DAW, the issue is workflow and value for your $. For the ways I like to work, Logic makes sense for me, and is a way better deal than native ProTools; HD is simply out of budget, and besides, I've seen PT users burned for their hardware choice more than once, already.
Hear ya keith. but really tho, its all stupid simple, except if you want to jump into the command line and all that nonsense.. I bet you'd be surprised how practical the new macs are. (except for the stupid new fingerpads they have on the new laptops which are shameful. just shameful. c'mon apple, it aint broke?... sooo.... lol. Sticking with my mac book pro with a with the old keypad for as long as i can! lol.)So now, I'm this guy who hasn't even seen a Mac in this millienium. I don't know how to browse the internet on one. I don't know how to check email on one. Driver problems, I'm clueless on a Mac. You see my problem. In my mind, a DAW ( Logic )that is made by Apple to run on an Apple machine is the safest thing I can do. Doesn't mean that I can't make a move to ProTools or even Reaper later. I just want to know if I can reply on Apple to have some sort of tech support for the problems that I'm thinking will be inevitable. Maybe the change would be flawless?
Tell ya what, i believe i could condense all the things you need to know to effectively operate your mac in an hour or two. or... slow-taste 4 or 5 beers-ish. Since someone on these boards had offered me his number and a little bit of time when i had a couple protools questions. I'll extend/reciprocate the courtesy. If you get do go for the mac/logic route... and want to chat up to speed. le-mme know.
