If you look at the activity monitor, you'll see having the unit just plugged in can take 30 to 40 percent CPU activity. You have got to be kidding. 30-40%? Don't even tell me this is on a dual processor G5. That clearly makes Kore utterly useless. "KORE: Think in sounds, we'll acutally don't t...

For basic AU hosting just use AU Lab?

(It's in /Developer/Applications/Audio/)

and It's free!

I've always hear this "Logic is different than the other pro apps" statement. Logic is very different and don't think should be changed just to have the same aesthetic appeal. It should be very tightly woven into the FCS workflow, while not sacrificing any of Logic's flexibility. Logic is ...

Are the samples/loops 24-bit?

This is due to the Audio Engine, right?

This might explain why files in Logic might sound better?

Phil raised some unique questions which hadn't been raised before. The extent of one's MIDI routing needs varies from user to user, although I don't disagree with the advice you gave to him about the greater flexibility in Logic in this regard. This cannot be stressed enough. Logic's Environment is...

While there's some Logic-DP folks here having a very reasonable discusssion... :D Does Logic enable easy MIDI control setup? I have a custom MIDI foot controller that's easy to set up in Live or Reason- even Stylus RMX (which has a brilliant MIDI implementation) but very limited in DP. Will Logic a...

It's suprising to hear a bunch of people comment on Logic and not mention the Environment . That feature is by far the most amazing aspect of Logic. Logic is also a bit more malable and customizable than DP. Every DAW has it's strength and weaknesses. I don't believe that there is a universial appli...

Once again, NI takes a beautiful A+ idea and turns it into a grade C product. I don't agree with this. The idea is that you can stack and layer patches from different instruments into a single patch and automate paramaters for them using the Kore control surface. I agree. The idea is beautiful. The...

Even if you get it running in DP, I hear the drivers are a little less than desired at the moment. You will take a big CPU hit with it. It's written by NI so thats a given. :( I don't understand the point of putting another layer between the host application and the AU. Running KORE with Reaktor, K...

Thanks for the info. I am not thrilled about the iLok, but I understand the need for it. The problem is playing live. It's enough to worry about my powerbook being ok at a live gig, now I have to worry about a little usb dongle getting lost. :( My Logic dongle never leaves the house. It is an indoor...

Does Ethno require an iLok?

and does it come with it? or does it need to be purchased separately?

Re: Networking Mac To PC via LAN

Just thought I'd share a little good news. FXTeleport.com will "supposedly" be releasing software in the next couple of months that allows slaving other computers without the need for MIDI or audio interfaces on the slave systems. This is done via LAN (ethernet) connection and latency is ...

But having said that, after some brief demo-ing I think I definately prefer the RA sounds....hmmmm.... With RA you're locked into using NI's Kompakt (or upgrading to Kontakt) and Inakt. NI has some issues, both on the customer service side and on the 'robust' plug-in side. I've wanted Stormdrums an...
