Hi Brian,

I've been using Logic since 1994 for producing of recorded music in  
the safe studio environment. Compared to Cubase, that I used before,  
Logic was the thing for putting the pieces together. But I don't find  
it stable enough to use on stage as a performance application,  
although I really love some of it's effects (ring modulator, auto- 
filter, Evoc vocoder, Tape Delay, Guitar Amp Pro). In my use Live is  
much more stable and I have been using it a lot on stage to host  
AU's. There is also this USB copy protection dongle that you have to  
use with Logic and that is exactly the thing that some people jump on  
stage to steal when the lights go out. You can get the Logic Express  
version that doesn't use a dongle, but this version miss out on some  
of the plug-ins I like in Logic. And finally, when I tried to do live  
looping with Logic's tape delay or Augustus Loop it seems as these  
processes crash Logic in twenty minutes time.

Live with Augustus Loop has been totally stable with me, and is also  
a very creative set-up.
