Logic... Dot ... Dot... Dot ...

So the new Pro Tools HD Accel 3 system is (other than semi frequent crashes) a wonderful system to mix on. Its not without its quirks and drawbacks (i know, cry me a river), but nothing thats not completely work-aroundable (is that a word?). Even though i use all the pro Tools plugins and hardware, I often mix with Logic Audio as a front end, and Logic is my main production and creating platform. Anyone reading this blog frquently knows of my love hate relationship with Logic and Apple. I learned some super helpful top secret Logic tips today from an enigmatic angel of the Apple underworld. The mysterious voice on the other end of the phone, code named "Pin Point", divulged some information to me not found in any manual. I'd tell you, but then i'd have to ki..... lets just say i can't tell you, but it really helped me with a few things, and restored some of my faith in Apple and Logic. I still however must hold to my mantra that at the cost of $199.00 per tech support call for Logic Audio (no thats not a typo), Logic is doing a grave disservice to its longstanding customers as well as anyone thinking of switching to a very expensive piece of software which is basically not supported by the company selling it (well, unless your rich, then i guess tech support isn't out of reach). On principle alone i refuse to pay that much for tech support. On the other hand i've found Digidesign tech support to be excellent, though its a bit pricey, and historically, i've never been a fan of Digi, but i gotta call em like i see 'em. "Pin Point" definitely reedemed Logic for me, but then one person veiled in secrecy cannot help an entire industry.
Thank you again to "Pin Point" for the Logic advice, you've been a big help, whoever you are.
