In my mind this is related to one of the main issues: the issue of layering lots' of parts and trying out a lot of different ideas. Logic still has no Dynamic Voice Allocation, like PT, so every object has to be created and use its' own voice. Let's say I am working with a creative player who says, "let my try this" then "let me try that" over and over for 20 different types of ideas (very real world). I want to keep them all, and be able to play them all back, and possibly even layer some of them, so I can't assign any of them to them same object. I have to constantly duplicate my track layout (easier in 7 when I get it), and worry about which audio track object is already being used somewhere in a song that might have only 10 "parts" but where some of the parts might have 10 or 20 different temp ideas. Dynamic Voice Allocation would alleviate some of this, as I could just keep creating new tracks, and let the system figure out that there aren't 128 simultaneously-sounding voices. In Logic, the maximum applies to audio objects whether they are sound simultaneously or not. Am I a lone voice in the wilderness? *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** Jonathan Perl Sonic Arts Center @ CCNY http://sonic.arts.ccny.cuny.edu/ "Make Sound Your World" *** *** *** ---------- *** *** *** *** ***
