Hi friends,
It's been one week since the delivery of my iMac. I wasn't online quite often, because I have concentrated on getting my recording set up running on the Apple.
I am really overwhelmed so far by how great the Mac really is. I love the logic structure of this computer, and how userfriendly everything works. Nothing handicaps the performance of this computer. I run 8 programs at the same time and the Mac doesn't bother. It runs like a VW Bug :running
It's unbelievable how easy it was to install my hardware on the Mac. It took me 10 minutes and I was ready to go. The Mac accepted my USB Piano without asking for a driver. Getting my Line6 Toneport and Gearbox running was a piece of cake. Downloaded the software and driver and that's it.
I have tried out Garageband, which already is an awesome recording program. Had I known how much softwareunstruments and loops it already contains and had I known about the possibilities of GB, I had waited longer with buying Logic Express 9.
Anyways, I bought Logic, I installed it and what can I say...it's all I ever wanted. I bought it with a nice handbook and I go slowly through the exercises. The name says it all - "LOGIC" that's what it really is!
The amp simulations in Logic are great. I'd say they are top notch quality. My first test recordings were dynamic, had a lot of headroom and my 76 Strat was growling through some nice SRV licks that I had to listen back over and over, 'cause the recording quality made me smile all day long :-)
I am going to finish the recording course and then I will record the first songs.
The only thing and this is really the only thing is that the Rock-bass-guitar sounds in Logic are not the best. I will have to install my NI Bandstand for the bass. Upright Bass, Jazz bass etc. are first class.
I am sure there's no way back to a PC for me.
