Emailing a bulk group in Apple's Address Book

 Scott;

Great presentation today. I actually don't have an ipod question for you, but instead an audio question. I've got a pro-tools studio in my house running off a new 24'' imac that I got a month ago. That being said I'm running pro-tools 7.3.1 and am seriously thinking about moving over to logic, which you were using today. Are there any specific features that help make your decision to go with Logic?

Thanks so much,

While Pro Tools is of course the standard of the industry, Logic is a strong second place.  There are of course, several choices, Logic, Digital Performer, Cubase, etc...  I started on Cubase in 98 and after about 2 years, went to Emagic's Logic.  A few years later, Apple purchased Emagic and took over Logic production.  In the last 4 years, Logic has changed into the strongest overall audio editing software on the Apple platform in my opinion.  

As Logic is developed by Apple, it is a strong advantage to have the company that develops the operating system and hardware going to lunch with the Logic development team.  Working under the same roof, we as consumers are guaranteed to have lots of problems answered before they get out in the open.  The other software developers are usually a little behind on solving software/hardware conflicts.  


Further, Logic will import Garage Band projects easily which means you could start in Garage Band with your kids then move to Logic later for more detail.  It's a big investment so the more research you do the better.  The apple store usually has Logic installed on a few machines on the floor with demos so I would suggest checking that out as well.  


In the future, if you'd like a quicker response from me, emailing my personal email sells@mac.com will result in a faster turn around.  I don’t check my cms email as often as I should.
