Dp Or Logic Pro 8? Why Not Both?, The Experiment Options

[deepplay]

I'm posting this thread to request your opinions and experiences in using Logic Pro 8 IN ADDITION to DP. How dare could I ask for this you ask? Well, give a read to the DP Corner posted at audiomidi.com titled "DP or Logic Pro 8" and then come back and share your thoughts. As I begin my experiment with using both I plan to post my findings here. So what do you think? Can they or should they both co-exist on the same system? Is there a reason to have both? How do you use them? Why would you or would you not switch?

As someone mentioned before, DP (Performer) was the first sequencer for Mac in the 80s, but I started with master tracks pro.

DANO10, Logic's midi editing requires a different way of thinking (regions vs. linear 'analog' style recording), so I much prefer DP's midi editing (and VI midi tracks separate from audio/VI tracks). I think using Logic for audio is fine, but a lot of the audio editing I do makes me still prefer DP's workflow by a long shot, after using both DAWs together since Logic Studio came out. I've also had a super stable setup with DP5.13, OS X 10.4.11 and my Quad G5. Over at Unicornation.com, Shooshie has a thread on how stable DP 5.13, 10.5, and his Mac Pro have been - not a single crash since he upgraded!

I seem to get a lot of crashes with Logic 8 when I bounce audio (dropouts, missed midi control things with VIs, stuttering audio, etc -all with the CPU barely being used - does anyone else get this?), but I haven't spent much time to troubleshoot (deadlines), so I just imported everything into DP for mixing to get the projects finished.
