Hi,
I've been using Audio Desk for a long time for home recording (came with my MOTU 828). I've recently upgraded to a new iMac featuring OSX (used to operate on a cube with OS9), and as a result I have some choices to make regarding my studio. I can upgrade to Audio Desk 2.0 for pretty cheap, but I was never a big fan of the stock plug-ins that come it. If I were to do the upgrade, I would probably pick-up the tc-electronics powercore. My other option (and currently preferred) is to get Logic. I'm particularly excited about the MIDI possibilities I would add to my studio with it. However, I'm not sure what the quality of the standard effect plug-ins are. In particular I'd like to know your opinions on the Dynamic processors and the EQ. Any comments/advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul |

Audio Desk doesn't support 3rd party plugs, the newer version has a few new plugs, and the look and feel of the old ones has changed. So a Powercore will not work with Audio Desk.
I also own Logic Exprees (upgrading to pro soon) the built in effects are quite usable, and if you get logic pro you may not need to purchase additional plugs. but where logic really shines are the included virtual instuments. the equal or surpass anything from native instruments. DP4 is not bad, it would be an easy transition for you. DP has a larger collection of plugs and like Logic supports Audio unit plugins.

Especially as AudioDesk is a simplified version of the Audio part of DP…

AudioDesk in a simplified version of DP, and MOTU has told me that it will support 3rd party plugins that support MAS. Audio Desk 1 certainly did.

You are right about MAS support, not many free ones out there, and some companies dropped MAS in favor of Audio Units. Plus your'e missing out on the AU support that DP has.
There are several excellent Apple AU's that are loaded with the OS, and a buttload of free AUs available. Since I own DP4.1.2, I really don't pay musch attention to Audio Desk But powercore supports VST, AU, and RTAS, so with audio Desk you would still be out of luck. Try downloading the Logic Express demo from the Apple site, to see how you like it.
