Hi Lorenzo, > From the first time I tried to use SD with LAMP I have not had any success in > getting these two apps to talk to each other (I bought both on the same day). This might be true for you (and me ;-) but obviously there are a lot of people who really use AutoLink every day and for whom it works fine. Concerning the upgrade fee: Version 3.0 contains a lot of new stuff, great graphics and some functions that make it much easier to use. I´ve seen it in Frankfurt and really like it. From my point of view around DEM 79,00 (which equals about $39) is not too much for such a great update. There have been lots of improvements throughout previous version and I really don´t care paying this less money so Emagic can continue creating great products like SoundDiver and Logic. And by the way: Logic 4.5 _IS_ for instance a free update which improves sooo many things that Emagic should charge for it. So from my point of view, the update policy is fair and keeps development running. > I like manuals particularly current ones.

However, as far as I can see, development has rapidly changed things so much that it´s actually hard to keep manuals (printed ones!) up to date. Personally I prefer to get all the new software stuff first (as soon as possible) - rather than having to wait until a new manual is written, printed and available. > I was told when I got 4.0 that emagic was working on the 4.0 manual and it > would be made available soon. Needless to say I stopped waiting for that BS bus to round the corner anytime soon. The manual for Logic 4.0 is out since a loooong time now. It can be ordered from Emagic or from your local dealer. It´s surely not Emagics fault if you don´t have it yet. > I love reading, I like knowing, some of us are just like that. True :-) I love reading manuals, too (definitively the printed ones and _not_ PDF guidebooks!) All the best Thomas
