The node application is not a fully functional version of Logic. It is a "closed" application, that AFAIK is just the networking protocol and Logic plug-ins. The only "hooks" into it are from the version of Logic Pro to which it is a Node--users can't access any of it's functioning. It runs as a background app. In other words, to a user sitting in a dorm, if his/her computer was used as a Node, s/he would not have any access to Logic, or experience anything other than a massive slowdown, as much of the power of their computer will be unavailable to them since Logic on the host machine is using it.

This would seem to eliminate the fear over DAP potentially violating sample library license agreements, wouldn't it? Or does Apple have some other reason not to include EXS?

This is like saying "just hook up a computer to ethernet and it magically can run Logic7 as long as one computer on the network has an XSKey". Hmmm, I'm sure somebody would figure out how to do this over the internet and now the entire online Mac world runs off one Logic license! f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!" <http://home.goodmedia.com/~zerobeat>
