    LOL!

    Bruce,

    Listen to this guy above! It's like someone swearing by their sliderule. These people are hilarious, especially the evangelical ones.

    WHATEVER!

    Huh? Logic a slide rule? I'm not in most forums these days so I'm not sure how Logic users became this way.

    You claiming Cubase is head & shoulders above, or um...what exactly ARE you talking about?!

    We use Pro Tools software as well, and a huge rack of G5's and used everything virtually but some of that CONTINUES to get in the f@#$in' way!

    We went from GS to Kompakt and are sick of problems. We're going back to where we were more proficient and had fewer problems.

    What am I missing?

    Don't worry about it mate. Alot of what's out is in contention, not just Logic. The perfect "mac" seq app is long gone.

    I could go on and on, but no program that is out right now is completely brilliant. I would give Pro Tools a perfect score, but their reliance on their hardware is beyond disgusting.

    i don't know about you guys but 6.4 is way more stable than 7. if i was not running so much VSL in EXS I'd probably be giving DP another shot.

    Another totally true thing! Went back to 6.4 for a little while. Producers have been melting the LCD screens with dirty looks while waiting! DP didn't help us at all (just our honest opinion)

    6.4 is working like a horse with Digide$ign cards - but there's just too much going on in that Mac - I FEEL SORRY FOR TORTURING IT!! So some things are going to go where they belong: VSL on 2 or 3 GS3 machines.

    I couldn't agree with you more Craig! I still run 6.4 and am loath to upgrade to Logic 7 while all this crap with bugs is going on. Less problems, for what that's worth, seem to occur when it's a clean install. My colleague upgraded instantly, and unfortunately is not a happy chappy at this time.

    I think Apple might have a bite taken out of them with stuff like DP if they don't hurry up and sort these bugs out.

    Course, it's down to the sampler, as you say.

    Ok here's a question: I bought the Complete Orchestral Package before the price increase, so is it 15% of what *I* paid or 15% of what it costs now?

    Sabine:

    Have your distributors such as Ilio in the USA been advised of the new prices?

    Hi Sabine,

    I've recently purchased Horizon: Chamber Strings, Saxophones I and Opus 1. Today, my VSL Pro Performance Set arrived. I've purchased everything through Ilio and was never informed of any discounts and/or 'side licenses'. How do i remedy this situation? Thanks.

    Hi drg,
    a side license is an additional license to use the samples with a second format - is this what you consider?
    There's no "group discount" for the products you purchased (Opus1, Saxophones I, Chamber Strings, Performance Set).
    All the best,
    Sabine

    Hi Sabine,

    I misunderstood 'side license' - thanks for clearing that up. With my purchase of the 'Performance Set - Pro Edition', I take it the VIP discount structure is now activated. Am I correct in assuming this?

    Many thanks to your company and especially Herb - a wonderful job - stunning product!
