Marcy,

I think in many ways it is a tough call between the (full) PT HD (not the LE version) and Logic. They are very close in many ways and you can do pretty much anything on either of them. Both incredibly powerful tools. Both with quite a learning curve. What I like about Logic is that you are not tied into Digi hardware. You can use Apogee, for example, or indeed any one of several great interfaces. I also like the very tight integration with the Mac, and the fact that many of the plug-ins that cost serious $$ (and are dongle protected) on a PT rig are actually included in Logic Studio - and they are every bit as good. Even the "Express" version of Logic is good - but you do miss out on some of the extras that come with the full "Studio" bundle. Either way - both are totally professional tools that do far, far more than most of us ever want (or need).

Andy,
I know several people who are switching to Logic. What do you like about it?
Thanks

While I have used PT, I changed over to Logic Studio around the same time I added the Apogee Ensemble... I have to say, I much prefer it. The latest version of Studio is superb and very well integrated to the Apogee hardware.

Hi Marcy, I'll respond too. First of all, I use Adobe Audition. There is a great book call "Producing in the Home Studio with Pro Tools" by David Franz. It was given to me as a gift. I've read it three times, and during the production of a CD a year ago, I often went back to it for reference. So... that's my tip.

Are there people here who are into field recording besides me?? What equipment do you use? I'm using a Rode NT4 mic into a Zoom H2. It's pretty good and very portable.

Apogee has announced what appears to be a poor man's version of the Duet that will do one input at a time, for a list price of $249. I'm seriously tempted.

I've been using Apogee Mini Me's for a few years now.Love em'. I imagine the Duet would be a great sounding piece as well.

Yep, I've got a Duet running into an iMac. Excellent unit and it works perfectly with the the Apple core audio drivers.
