Logic continues to be poor in the Score department. Sibelius is good for scoring, but lousy on playback. (IMHO) Cubase used to be deficient in the scoring department too, but i understand it has improved at a faster rate than Logic.
Mr. Alex
How could logic be poor in the score depatment ? Its the only score program one can use with ease of use. Not to mention the rest of the monster features. Its the best program for score, it was originaly a score program. Logic users like to moan and groan & complain to apple to keep them abreast on the score feature upgrade issue.
If logic fixed its font (sonata, ect..) feature to use again. And implemented scanning.
There would not be a reason for one to use any other program.
The issue is using mac as opposed to pc. Pc is a world wide standard that is put together by many companies. There-fore its feasable to use for any manufacturers for business & marketing. Thats were the money is. And its price is very low. Getting it to use for multiple software is the issue. Mac is built by one company therefore its software will work no questions asked. Because they only have to test it out on one computer put together by one company. Of-course you already know that. but if you at any time feel that you have gotten some bad information and or misconceptions and need to escape from the land of slavic, (I think it stands for the land of slaves) . Don't hesitate to Bluetooth yourself west via, Modem and scotty, captain kurk and the uss enterprise. Any of us will be glad to help. Also The prices on the hoof is low this time of the year.
RK dear fellow!
I'm shocked at this! Logic, good in the score department? When you can't even play in the notes, unless you're in the arrange window? Where correcting the odd mistake calls for restructuring a bar, semiquaver by semiquaver?
Yes, i think the lure of all by Mac for Mac has been an attraction for many, as the one company marketing has worked pretty well. But i'm not so sure anymore. I think the cute pink and white gucci look is getting a little tired, and people are actually focussing on the performance instead of the hype. In a way, BG and Windows don't have that much to lose, as the general public have been resigned to probs with windows for long enough to be used to upgrading etc.
The MOST reliable setup i ever had, was a cutdown version of Win98 (Thanks to a neat little program called Win98 Lite Pro that removed Explorer and a lot of other stuff) running Cubase 3.5 or so. That cooked, didn't play up, took everything i threw at it, never howled when i plugged the mic or keyboard in, etc.
It wouldn't handle today's giant sample libraries, but in that snapshot in time (about 5 years) it worked a treat, and did the job.
Slavic stands for warrior, and there's enough on the hoof here that dresses most elegantly, with class, to keep my attention for some time!
And from what i've read about Nuendo, and the development going on, things may tip the other way soon. I hope so. I've spent a lot of money over the years on '80% useable software.' I'd like to use something that just goes, without a hassle, and plays stuff back the way i want it, without having to compromise all the time.
Regards,
Alex.
