In Brief. If you are writing music, utilizing a lot of MIDI, and need a good variety of softsynths. Logic is a strong application. If you are recording a lot of live musicians, a lot of mixing or editing, then Pro Tools has strengths. They both crossover and do the same thing, just have a much different way of going about it, plus PT is RTAS, and Logic is AU. There's major efficiency differences there. > If I understand correctly, the new apogee card > and a mac pro still have quite a bit more latency Yes and no. You have to understand that a system like Logic or Pro Tools is capable of recording audio all day long with latency so low that it will not adversely effect performance. But things change as you add layers of VI's. The CPU will need more time to keep up with the processes.
