Well, while i type this post, I'm in our new apple store (5 minutes from the
house!!)..

I'm running Logic 8 (Studio) on a new imac Intel core2 duo 2.4 (24 inch monitor),
playing with (Re-mixing/editing) a "ROOTS" MIX CALLED MARATHON MAN... A Hot
Hip hop mix that comes with Logic Studio..

Ok..First, I'm impressed with the Speed and solid feel of these new iMacs..These
are not your fathers imacs.. Completly different guts.. FAster buss, Separate
Nvidia Graphics card.. Sata 3.0 drive..800 mgz firewire..

Logic Studio is (99 percent) of what I wanted to see changed(I wanted more
real world looking faders)..
That being stated, the program (@1.0) is a dream for me.. I'm an old Logic
head and got dismayed with apps lagging audio editing and recording functionality..

Apple has answered the bell.. At first , i didnot think i'd like the one
screen thing..But, I'm a fan.. You can still run muti monitors in Logic 8,
but the one screen thing is very cool..

The editing is very fast..quicker than Pro Tools..2 clicks away from Nuendo/Cubase..
Somehow, apple has managed to keep intact it's (Still) Best Midi Sequencer
in the world feel, and tightness that only an Akai MPC can come close 2..

Sound: I have to agree with most logic 8 reviews..The Sound has improved.
More, dare I say Pro Tool(ish)...SBut, still a tight bottom...

The fact that when I plumped down to test this rig, it was already running
a dvd(School Of Rock) and several safarie web pages.. Its still playing while
I'm typing this post..

Back to Logic 8..They also, keep the tight integration with Digi in that
you can use your TDM hardware and use logic as a front end..Sweet..

To be honest, I could start a project (Midi-wise) and go to tracking audio/edit...Then,
mix in this app.. Things can only get better, as I have stated , this is
only version 1.0..OH.. NO CRASHES..!!! Torturing this baby for 2 hours straight..

Another cool part of the bundle is : Main-stage: I realy can't explain this
app, but it's a kind of a shell (Say V-Stack) for live playing of virtual
instruments with having logic running..

I'm told by the in-store Logic/Final Cut pro rep, that Logic will get a 30
percent boost in performance in Lepoard oxs..Sweet..

Lastly, These new machines already had boot camp loaded with XP Pro Sp2.

To me, for audio pros, Getting a Mac is a good purchase. No matter how you
cut it.

Impressed!!
