I think the new 'forced' project folder system beats the old, create a song, then save as project thing which could inadvertantly leave things out. I'd love logic to go further and allow, 'non logic' assets, like Reaktor ensembles and samples for third party stuff (like phatmatik).

Has anyone else noticed that the movement of regions in the arrange page is now finer than in the evnt list...

Hehe, people are never satisfied, software revision seems integrated with the socialist (well communist) idea of ongoing revolution ;-) Once they're there, they want new stuff. > > Pretty cool and pretty major fundamental change so why does nobody > say nuthin? > I'm definitely finding Logic different and on the whole better, but i think its going to be a while until i'm as fluent as i was at 7.x. There are a few things that need fixing (ie new additions that don't work out as hoped/expected) but on the whole I'm very pleased with the new version. Its inevitable the update will upset some people who have tied their workflow to the 'legacy' version of doing things. I have a feeling most people are like me and slogging their way through the new way of doing things and its only the problems that are popping up here, Mike
