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?

Thanks for all your DP Corner articles, Tim. I'm very interested in this "experiment". My 20-year-old son has recently shown an interest in music production. I purchased an iMac, an interface, a mic, MIDI controller, and a DAW for him for Christmas and his birthday. You'd think after being a Digital Performer/Performer user for almost 20 years, deciding on a DAW for him would be an easy choice. However, after reading about the Logic Studio package, even though it hurt me, Logic seemed to indeed be a "no brainer". Especially since he'd be a beginner with whatever software I bought. Here in one $499 package (although I bought it at audiomidi.com during their 11% off sale) was everything he needed. After spending a week with him helping set everything up and getting him started, I began wondering if it was time for me to take a hard look at switching to Logic. All the features you mentioned in your article are very compelling arguments for switching. In my short experience with Logic I did find Midi editing to be confusing. I can't say that it's not as good as DP, just that the information I needed wasn't where I had become accustomed to finding it. I never did locate a "Quantize" window. I'm sure it's there somewhere.

I had not really considered using both of them at the same time. I'm looking forward to hearing more of your experiences using both side by side. In the meantime, I'm going to purchase Logic and try to walk this path with you.
