I can't help but think that after daveporter's post on the CPU usage of L8 and Cubase 4, that Apple is holdng back something from developers that enables L8 to run sooo much more efficient. Even when I used Logic 7, I couldn't believe the difference between DP and Logic CPU usage. I wonder if any o...

Got my copy from Guitar Center in New York City...near where I live.

Already installed on my 2.4GHz MacBook Pro..

Super fast to say the least...

Bravo Apple..

Apple has the manuals up for download: Logic 8 User manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Logic_Pro_8_User_Manual.pdf New Features in Logic Pro 8 http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/New_Features_in_Logic_Pro_8.pdf As a Logic Pro 7 owner, the "New Features" manual was an interesting read f...

A rewrite of DP is very unlikely. -- Code improvements is more likely. If MOTU could, they would have done it by now. Getting rid of the MAS engine and rewriting a new audio engine would be a herculean task. The economics of such an effort is the real show stopper. Many things underneath.. such as P...

My opinion is that anything Altivec is optimized ....by definition .... Aramis Say what ?! Code optimization is related to programming economies and how compilers are adjusted by a coder to produce optimum or efficient results. I doubt MOTU has done *everything* possible in DP to produce the highes...

Please note that I was careful with my wording:

"future work for Altivec.."

The fact that DP is Altivec "aware" does not
necessarily mean that it is fully optimized..
the language is flexible here....the work
of marketing and PR folks..

Song/Chunks mode is indispensable for dance music producers and djs using DP..like me... I believe Chunk/Song mode is one of those under-the-hood power features that require patience and careful experimentation. It is a kool way of "automating" the arrangement of reuseable parts of a song ...

Disclaimer: I don't work for MOTU or have 'friends' there. I doubt that MOTU will spend any more time with proprietary PPC code knowing that they will migrate all future code to Intel-based hardware... Intel has secretely announced quad-core processors with optimized vectorization...so why would any...

I agree...the DP5 manual's print quality is below what
we are used to getting from MOTU...however the content
is still stellar...

I run a musical theater performing arts school. Every year we do around 3-4 shows. I'm tired of cueing up CD's. I'm looking for a program that will enable me to run music for the show from my Power Book Pro. I would like to program the music to pause in between cues and/or play through. I think Abl...

Listen to the demos -- mind-blowing -- including
ployphonic pitch shifting.

LOL... maybe Microsoft will buy MOTU and discontinue the OSX version (LOL) Draconian DRM... see LOGIC - also, see iTunes. Looks like there is some confusion on where DRM is headed. This is not necessarily an Apple issue. Ever heard of TCPA? Read these for starters -- This is a deep topic. http://ww...
