With all the upgrades that I had from version 3 to 5.5 (been with Logic that long!), there was always a document from Emagic detailing all the changes and improvements with each new release. Do similar documents exist for the 5.5 to 7.n trail? > Oh yes - almost forgot - buy a multi button mouse for your mac! Why's that? I thought Macs in general were designed to use only one button, and Logic also? >The hardest thing is going to be your email. I didn't clarify that I will be using the Mac for music production only, I will still keep a Windows PC for office type things, etc. Thanks for the help. Leszek.

While it's still perfectly possible to use Macs with a one-button mouse (Mac laptops still only have one button on the trackpad), pretty much every OS X application also has some right-click functionality these days (mostly context menus, occasionally other things). You can simulate a right click with Ctrl-click if you only have one mouse button, but having a "real" right mouse button does make life easier. Cheeri, Calum.

No, you will be right at home, some menus are in different places, new software insruments, software instrument implementation is slightly different. Ver PC5.5 and Logic 7.x.x are still more alike than different. Same basic operation. HW

No. It's the differences between using an application under Windows or OS X that is not "so big" ;-)) I still think Logic 5.5.1 is an excellent DAW. Some new functions I use now in 7.x are the Loop Browser and Apple Loops. I also like Sculpture and Space Designer, but except for that I would be just as productive in 5.5.1. And also, compared to the modern Logic on my dual G5 the PC version feels a lot more snappy to work with (doesn't weight up for Apple Loops though, IMHO) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international) http://tinyurl.com/2kek7h (latest music release)
