Hi, I was a Logic TDM user, but the constant problems just drove me nuts, so I bit the bullet and ditched Logic for Tools. It was the best thing I could have done. Pro Tools 7.3 is great. So stable. You forget what it's like to work with a program that runs the way it's supposed to. Logic is very solid running native, but as throw in TDM and it just one big compromise. It took me about a week to get into the midi side of Pro Tools and now it's just as quick for me as working in Logic. Who knows maybe Logic 8 with give TDM users the stability and features that we need. Delay compensation anyone?? Hell Logic wont' even work with the latest version of tools. If you love TDM you should spend some time working in to get your head around Pro Tools. cheers M.
