MBP audio producers UNITE!

[SomeGuyDude]

I bought this thing solely so I could easily work with my Presonus FP10 (I'm a drummer with a mini-studio in my attic). Wondering where the rest of my audio-production brethren are, maybe any tips or tricks you could pass along?

I've worked with Cubase/Reaper/Ardour in the past, so I know my way around a DAW, just curious if there are any little tidbits that don't usually come up in FAQs and guides!

LOGIC ftw

Is Logic worth the money? Like I said, I have GarageBand, but if Logic is really that good, I'll spring for it.

Right now I mainly use Reason for what I do.

Logic is worth the money for me because my boyfriend works for Apple. It's a considerable markdown in price. To me, I don't use many of the sound packs etc.--more of a ground-up artist--but it's the interface and easy integration with OSX that make it my default choice. And while, when I have the choice, I will ALWAYS mic amps, in my experience the built-in amp & pedalboard simulators have more warmth and realism than the other programs I've tested.

But as I said, I moved into Logic because I could get it for a great price. Paying the full $500? Now there, I'm not so sure...

Hmm. Well, a friend of mine runs it as I just discovered, so maybe I'll take it for a test run. I mean, $15 for GarageBand versus $499 for Logic Studio IS a bit of a hop in price...

Try Logic Express, its substantially cheaper than Logic Studio.
