> Re: Annoyances with L7 These annoyances are coming from someone who has been using a competing PC product. I'm currently trying out Logic and although I like Logic *a lot*, there are some very basic problems that make learning the program difficult compared to other programs. Apple is supposed to be the "User Friendly" company, so I hope they are monitoring this list as I'm trying to be helpful through constructive criticism. 41. AutoDrop should be named Punch-in. 42. The Matrix Editor should be named Piano Roll Editor. 43. What they heck does "Hyper" mean in the Hyper Editor? A more descriptive name would be helpful. 44. Context sensitive help based on the Macs help system is badly needed. Waiting 15 seconds for a PDF to load and then having to wait another 15 seconds for the search to complete is not exactly a workflow plus. (I am using an 800 MHz iMac and those figures are not to far from fact although I haven't used a stop watch.) 45. The manual's index is so bad as to be virtually useless. Apple needs to spend a few thousand dollars to hire a professional indexer for the next release of the manual. That will help both Apple (through lower support costs) and Logic users (through finding answers to questions quickly and easily). Do you realize that the word Reverb does not exist in the index??? Nor does an entry for metronome settings. The "Punch-in" index entry takes you to the glossary rather than the AutoDrop text. I could go on... 46. The manual, in general, needs more "Step by step" examples of doing common tasks and more screen shots. The manual seems to concentrate more on "what" the program can do rather than on "how" to do it. All of the instructions are written in paragraph style rather than as line-by-line (step-by-step) instructions. Because of this, once you've done step one, you have to scan the paragraph again to find step two and so on. With numbered instructions, you can easily glance back at the page and find "2)" so that you don't have to re-read what you've already read. 47. It seems to me that "Clip" or "Take" would be much better names for Regions. Do people actually use the phrase "Region" in recording studios (that don't have Logic)? I never heard the term used until I bought Logic. 48. For heavens sake... get the bugs out. Most of the annoyances I listed may seem small, but I think they are *very* important. Simple things like naming things appropriately can make all the difference in the world to someone who is trying to learn a program as complex and powerful as Logic. As an aside, I really do like Logic now that I've finally learned all the basics. I find it easy to be productive and really like the way the program "feels" during use.
