So, in a perfect world, I would’ve been linking to an as-yet-unheard track (well, heard by you, Mr. Harris, but I think you’re the only one so far). However, my uploader here only allows files smaller than 7mb. Now, I’d gladly redo the track and lower the bitrate (set it at 320k/s), but Logic doesn’t want to play nice with me. This is a regular occurrence, which is why, in a matter of a few business days, I will be one with Snow Leopard.
10.6, here I come. The random “I’m not opening until you restart your system” Logic behaviour should be left in the dust. Well, here’s hoping.
I refuse to upgrade to Logic Pro 9. Why? Because I paid full (Academic, $299) price way back when for Logic Express 7… and then, since it was the academic version, I couldn’t just upgrade to Pro, I had to buy Pro straight out. That (again, all I could afford was the Academic version) was $699 (instead of $1299). And when Logic 8 came out, and I was no longer in school, after a few months, I went and got the full, non-academic version of that. $499. Awesome price, taken out of this specific situation… but it’s still $499 on top of what’s already been spent.
Now, I haven’t been keeping score (and please, don’t post and tell me the damage), but I’ve paid a lot for Logic so far. Since getting LP 8 only 4 months after it was released, I have only seen two (2) updates that came out for it. TWO! And then what do they do? As Carlin would put it, they “Sneezed, and all of the numbers in their head went up by 1″.
I’m done buying Logic for a while. I’ll wait for 10. Or perhaps 9.5, if they even get that far.
With all of that ranting aside, I give you the very calming Copacetic at 5 a.m. (click for description, or listen at the bottom of the page).
I hope you’ve all been enjoying the show so far.
