From PC to Mac

[Broadwood Music ...]

A great article!!

I have been a PC user for many years. I understand them pretty well and used them in the first days of my studio. I bought Logic Audio when it was at version 3 and upgraded at every release. Ecerytime I upgraded Logic I had to upgrade items on the Pc to suite, and it was never enough. The most available RAM, biggest drive, different video cards, they all had an effect on performance and there were always limitations. I came to Logic version 5, what a superb program that was, but I was increasingly frustrated with not being able to have enough platinumverbs running or the PC just crashing and losing the last half hours work i'd done. (good backing up intentions sometimes get lost in the creative workflow).

Then the crunch came when Emagic sold out to Apple. No more updates! I was livid! I persevered with V5 until I could stand it no longer. The last PC crash where I lost an hours work was the straw that broke the camels back!!!!!

I got out a loan, bought the latest G5 at the time, bought the latest Logic V7 (the crossgrade path was just to much of a pain in the ass), got a new Motu HD audio interface and motu midi interface, set it all up and I was away.

A couple of weeks of this was like a dream come true. Everything I asked of it it did. Until......... yes............ithe G5 crashed mid session. With a sinking feeling, i rebooted the mac only to find that.......................It had saved my logic file before it went tits up!!!! OH JOY!!!!!!!! I LOVE MACS!!!!!!!!!!!
