I have been patiently waiting for the long promised ability to record with software effects in Logic. I was again unsurprised but dissapointed to see it not included in the latest update. But it puzzles me to to see that it does not seem to be included as a feature in Logic 5 either. Does anybody know if this is indeed the case ? Thanks George

But, the more I think about it....I mean with the latencies you can get with some of the soundcards these days (take RME for example) you can play while monitoring the effects (software monitoring). So you record the part hearing the effects but it records it dry. This is good because say you used too much chorus or distortion on a guitar, it isn't actually printed to the track. It's easy to change the settings. Once you've finally decided on the effects settings you can just bounce the track down and there you go. The only effect I would consider valuable to record with is compression. But having Logic print this to a track won't really do much as it's post A/D converters. So you don't get the benefit like you would using an analog compressor before the converters. --Roger
