There is a hell of a fuss going on at a couple of forums over Apple's decision to force users of Logic 8 (well, some workarounds are possible, but workarounds should not be used on something this important) down the path of using interleaved stereo files rather than split stereo files. The gist of it is that pro-AEs need to use split stereo files (or at least have the option) and that Apple is compromising the pro-market of Logic by this direction towards interleaved stereo files. Now, I'm primarily a songwriter and use Logic mostly for pre- productions and arranging - so to me this is not a massive issue - but I have an interest in more studios using Logic because it makes working with producers and AEs easier - particularly remotely, which I now do a lot - if we're on the same platform. If pro-AEs and mixers have a reason not to use Logic that's not in my interest. What do people over here thing of this issue? Apologies if I've missed a lengthy discussion already... My sense is that some LUG muscle might be needed to put pressure on Apple, but what do others here think?
