So Whats Out There For Logic Osx Users?, no vst....what does this mean? Options

[tokyoroland]

let me put it simple. I am using Logic on osx. I have never used Logic for os9. I have no idea what VST is, and I dont care, since I won't be able to use it, unless its "carbonized", whatever this means.

So, do I HAVE to dish out another 300 dollars just to get new sounds? I have a friend who uses FruityLoops ( I know, on a PC ) and he gets whole libraries for free somehow... whats the alternative on macs? should I go back to os9 just to get free samples and sounds? or do I have to wait until a VST substitute comes out?

Because a day (soon) will come when I get tired of my keyboards built-in sounds... And a 30-day trial ( for the exs24, etc. ) is still a 30-day trial.

cydonia- there's some thread floating around about an alternative to the PC fruity loops, which many of my friends use for techno... I think Storm is mentioned??? But as for Logic I am also a beginner who is looking for sound banks, and is downloading various wave samples, but hasn't tried to incorporate them into my keyboard quite yet. But if you need to find some sounds, formatj gave me some great ones to use once I activate my exs24 demo, and if you just type in "audio samples" in like google you can find a whole bunch of free ones that have MANY techno type sounds in them.

Other than that, you may want to upgrade your keyboard!
I have a PSR 215 laying around in my room...

But if you don't really care about audio or whatever, you may want to get Reason 2, its expensive, but less than Logic ( atleast Logic Platinum! )
