Am I missing something here? Hasn't L8 addressed a lot of the 'wish list' items of LUGers? I guess the bottom line is, we're all free agents and can hop aboard a different DAW if there's one out there that you think is better designed and better supported.

I never wished Logic should be made "easier" (even if I do benefit from that as well). It seems to be quite more stable right now, but I actually do expect a certain stability anyways. For me, right now it's like "yeah, nice efficiency and stability", but there's still quite some things left. And quite some of them would even be things that have been there in previous versions. > I guess the bottom line is, we're all free agents and can hop aboard > a different DAW if there's one out there that you think is better > designed and better supported. That's not as easy as it reads like. For instance, quite some of my projects depends on Logic's internal plugins. And even loading, say, an EXS patch into, say, Kontakt (which I already own) will result in quite some different sound. In addition, there's one or the other thing that I simply can't live without, such as the extended parameter box. Even after all these years of computer sequencing, it's still absolutely unmatched. Oh, and the velocity tool in the Matrix (err, sorry, piano roll by now). I use both these things so often that missing them is permanently driving me mad when I switch to, say, Cubase (which I own as well). Regards Sascha ------------------------------------

Hi Sascha, >Oh, and the velocity tool in the Matrix (err, sorry, piano roll by >now). I use both these things so often that missing them is >permanently driving me mad when I switch to, >say, Cubase (which I own as well). My substitute is mouse on the info line (with mouse option/drag+- set) and scrolling note to note with the L/R arrow key. Not quite as elegant but pretty efficient for most things. As I remember, there's an Emagic (now Apple) copyright on the velocity tool. howard ------------------------------------
