Discussion
Conslaw Nobody has anything to say about Apple Logic Pro? I'm incredulous. For $199.99, there's a LOT of stuff here. You have a pro-level DAW, with a full suite of effects including a convolution reverb, custom amps and roll-your-own guitar pedals. You get a sampler with gigabytes of content (EXS-24). You get a very nice jack-of-all-trades synth, ES-2. You get a physically modelled synth, electric piano and clav. There's a drum machine (Ultrabeat), and more loops than you'll want to sort through. There are only two things that I don't like about Logic. (1) It doesn't import General MIDI files well. (2) You don't have all the fun freeware VST instruments that are available for Windows.
drtimwaters Conslaw, I agree with your 2 complaints about Logic. However, I have found some good workarounds:
1. I use energyXT on a PC to get samples, loops, etc. from certain PC VSTs, then convert those audio files into things Logic can use (EXS24, Apple Loops, etc.).
2. ReWire seems to be a good option for running Logic along with other DAWs at the same time.

mastertrackspro Love Logic, have used it since v6 after moving from Nuendo when that studio closed.
I also recommend Reason to be used alongside Logic. Low on CPU usage and great sound design possibilities.
