Re: Logic studio new version

[Paul Mimlitsch <pmimlitsch@mac.com>]

Per;
  From the info on the website I was thinking along the lines of live  
guitar processing and the pedalboard/ effects rack stuff.  I used  
Logic (just for for audio editing) back before Apple obtained it and  
was basically overwhelmed by the complexity.  Now that its been  
"Apple-ized" I was interested in checking it out again, especially  
along the lines of making the switch to the "hardware to computer  
performance set up" that everyone's been talking about the past few  
months.  Thanks for the info. - Paul
