:) Seriously, I would not dismiss your opinion even if you consider yourself a relatively new user. You obviously approach that stuff the right way.

A draw back is the Apple forum.  In browsing through the threads there doesn't seem to be a strong community of regulars.  It seems impersonal.  I could be way off base, but this Sonar forum seems to be far better.  Maybe it's because I've spent so much time here.

Did you try this place: http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/ ? The owner and admin actually writes certification books for Logic. Nice place.
 
That being said, Cakewalk forums just can't be beat. :)

This. By far.

Rain - No I didn't know about that.  I'll check it out.  Good to know that there is an alternative to the normal Apple forum.

You can also check out the old Logic User Group. http://www.logic-users-group.com/forums/
 
Eli Krantzberg who did some incredible Logic tutorials (as well as some tutorials for Pro Tools and even Sonar IIRC) is a regular there.
 
He, along w/ a couple of other very knowledgeable folks collectively know everything there is to know about Logic. 
 
Plus, I believe he is from Montreal too, so he has to be one cool fellow. ;)

Having used Logic X pretty extensively over the last few evenings, I'm pretty impressed with it.  I haven't encountered any bugs or instability problems, the new UI is gorgeous (IMO, of course) and better organized, track stacks make a world of difference for a clean freak like me who demands organization within my projects, the new Retro synth, MIDI FX (esp. the arp!), and Drummer are all very cool, and the Remote iPad app is very impressive.  It's very cool that it includes a little keyboard/drum pad controller in the Remote app.  A lot of people around the web are complaining about Logic X (surprise!) and calling it GarageBand Pro, etc., but not me - I'm loving it.

That's cool Cryophonik! I'm drooling all over this now!
I've seen the complaints about it too, similar to what they say about Final Cut Pro X. I have little experience with that but know a lot of pro's I know are tearing their hair out over this. To me, and also from what you say, Logic X hasn't lost that much. Some extreme workflow improvements, yes, but every review I read say that all the deep menus are still there.
 
Holy crap! I think my credit card just started to scream and vibrate!

I've seen a bunch of people whining and complaining that Logic is now essentially Garage Band. Idiots and haters are always very vocal on the web.
 
According to the reviews from folks who actually know what they're talking about and have used Logic since the 90s in some cases, no features were removed and this new version is simply the best so far.
 
The dimwits complaining that it's GarageBand Pro probably made up their mind after seeing one or two screenshots. That's as much information as their brain can handle anyway, and in many case, even Garage Band would be too good for them."

Yes, Logic is what I use for all my work also these days. I was a avid Sonar user til X1 (from dos til X1) Studio One tickled me a bit but logic just blows me away from what it can do and how well it does it. The fact you get an amazing array of high end plugins, loops everything @ a 200 dollar price point is off the charts. Bravo apple. 
 
Its my dreams realized as of late last 2 years and Im very pleased with the outcome. Still miss sonar for time to time but logic has my heart now.
 
Just thought Id share its a great product.
 
Best,

HI Rain,
 
So ive dumped 9 for X. Yes it is better in my personal expereince thus far. 9 is awesome and its one of the shining daws we have used, just find so many thing now missing going back that was on my wish list. Def give in 2 big thumbs up. Hope yer well. 
 
Best,
Scott

Hey Scott!

Cool info, thanks for sharing your experience!

Just a question, what do you think of the pitch correction thing compared to other 3rd party offerings, and how are the control module things compared to ACT? They looks like their MIDI assignable only rather than sensitive to what's in focus when using hardware controllers.

Cheers!
