hey there. I'm a recent mac convert trying to find some good book(s) on Logic 7. I've been doing sound reinforcement for about ten years and studio recording for the last 8 months. I've noticed, however, there are huge differences between user interfaces among DAWs. I was trained on Sonar 3/4 and decided to switch due to my frustration from crashes and bugs. Also, how "buggy" is logic? Are there known issues? Finally, i'm trying to figure out if my system will be capable of handling the load. Kind of waiting for pb G5 (yeah... right 2006 now?), so i splurged on a mini for my first mac. Any input is helpful. Finally, I use a Tascam FW-1884 and record to a maxtor ext 250gig HD. Would it be more efficient to put it on the same chain as the Tascam (if so, before or after the board), or should I connect it via USB??
