So you can buy 2 100 cards for 160 bucks and get logic? Or am I misunderstanding.

This thread established a few things early on such as Logic's relatively low price and a few feature lists. Apart from the incredibly leading title that wouldn't shame Fox News and is akin to the tobacco lobby leading with, "more celebrities smoking", what evidence does it contribute that pros are switching to Logic?

Well that didn't last long.

Munchkin, read my post

Yes, actually it would be enough with one 100 EUR + one 50 EUR card.

I know george already answered (in Euros), but to add on...

Yes, 2 $100 cards for $160. Any sales tax would be applied to the full amount ($199).

Btw, boxed version still ships for $499 at http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB795Z/A
Apple competing with itself

It wasn't aimed at you, just the overall thread direction that was going to yet another Mac flaming.

Macs don't get flamed, they get flambeed. Much classier.

It still remains to be determined if "All" the "Pros" have moved over to "Logic" - Haven't seen the verified data yet, but must assume it's true since it's been stated on an internet forum.

Noticed on another forum that all "Pro" guitarists are moving to the Gibson Les Paul. Seems personal creativity has no place in the new corporate monoculture.

I seem to remember that the DL version is the one for 199. Other than the hassle of DL'ing and storage, that is the only difference, right?

Ok, I see it was all hibidy's fault a few posts back.

Sorry, I was bored, there's nothing on TV so I've been very naughty and butted in...

Please continue unmolested...

For the hell of it I decided to look up imacs and it seems they still basically come with i5's and 4gb. I'm guessing that stepping up to 8 GB isn't a big but tbh I want more power from the processor.

I can't imagine what ttoz's unit costs here in the states

I came really, really close to buying an iMac a couple of times. It's the curse of having a Best Buy credit account with no balance and seeing that beautiful looking thing sitting there for $1200 or something. It was really hard to resist an impulse buy, just to put one in my den or something for basic multimedia stuff.

What got me back on track was remembering that the vast majority of my favorite (and already paid for) software is on PC, and I wasn't looking to buy it all again... Vegas, Corel, etc, etc, on OSX.

Anyway, love my white MacBook, and I never even boot to OSX on it anymore. Easily the most reliable laptop I've ever owned... well, at least since a Sony Vaio I had awile back, that thing never gave me any issues, it too was a bit more than most.

Yeah, the thing is I went through all that back in the day and don't want to be stuck. If there was a way to throw on logic/studio one and do the testing myself......can't trust others opinions though. I've heard people say "I have a commadore 64 with 1mb ram and I can run 40 instances of omnishpere"

You can get one with an i7 and something to consider is that new iMacs will probably be released this summer.

By the way, I just purchased Logic using two $100 gift cards purchased at best buy ($80 each today). This is not about switching, but rather I needed an easy way to export audio from Final Cut. It was this or a ProTools upgrade, which I just don't want to do because Avid's pricing just pisses me off.

Oh no doubt.

I'd be curious to get a stock imac, load the proper ram and then see what it can do with logic. My fear is that it will be like this one (an i7) and only utilize one core primarily and ignore the rest unless you use that unmentionable illegitimate child of a host

That is interesting. Wonder how they worked that out...

All "pros" moving over to Logic, why?
