If someone can lend their opinion, i would appreciate it! I have just recently got into the sequencing thing...my newly acquired keyboard came with MicroLogic AV. It loaded without a hitch (Mac 7100/66) and has been talking with my keyboard, drum machine and recording unit very nicely. Does anybody know what i would be getting into if i move up to a professional level software package? (either a full version of Logic or Digital Performer) Right now i'm just using the Midi. I work on a computer all day at work and don't feel like recording while staring at a CRT. If it's just sequences, i'm ok. Anyway, my biggest gripe with MicroLogic AV is the navigation along the timeline, the selection and moving of midi data and the lack of marker points. (only TWO!) The curser zooms right by rather than tracking along with the song, it seems impossible to 'nudge' stuff, and just two locator points is killing me! Does anyone know much about the full versions and can comment on these points and if there's more stuff that a newbie would appreciate? Also, in digital performer, is POLAR looping audio, or midi data? I'm just trying to ascertain what i'm getting into. the MicroLogic is only about $80, while a full version is over $300. What's that buying me? I've found the Micrologic manual to be a bit vague for my taste. Is the full version's any better? What about Digital Performer's? thanks in advance... rich . >Thanks for the recommends guys. I'll be going with Logic then.
