WTF is up with LP8?

Your statement is redundant.
While you may be trying to take a dig at me, you are only further proving my point.

"you are letting a tool use you, not you using a tool."

It is a tool, when the tool manufacturer decides that you are now being given a standard high speed muffler bearing and now you must use a left handed metric hammer to make a door open and now you must pop the trunk to use the wiper blades.....Do you see my point, or would you care to make my point again for me?

My gripe is the redesign of a tool that I use day in and day out... while I'd love to move forward with the new added features, I'm a little annoyed with the unified interface where everything is competing
for the same real estate instead of taking a feature away from a program because it's "too spread out" and then thinking "hey, lets add that functionality to the OS instead" (i.e. Spaces in Leopard 10.5). ....~wha thuh fuh?~.... they should have left some of it up to the end user to decide how they want Logic configured... the way it has ALWAYS been. if they had just added the new UI to the arrange it would have been fine... but for the love of god, leave the rest of it there.

"all i can venture is that your music must be pretty f**kin' boring to need a DAW upgrade to "make it better" "

All I can say to that statement is I actually use the software for my clients. I actually use this in a real world environment with people that pay money to have their recordings engineered and produced by someone who can deliver a product with the "sound" they are looking for.
MY music on the other hand has been on the back burner since 2001 when I started to engineer for the Boston punk scene. My music gave me all I ever wanted out of it, including my 15 minutes.
THAT being said, shame on you for taking a needless stab at someone's writing and performing skills that you've never met. It'd be like me telling you that because you like the unified Logic interface that you are not qualified to work with a program above Garage Band. It's not nice Davey.

fyi, GarageBand = Logic Silver.
It's the same audio engine with a different GUI.

oh.


well I guess I'll just shut the uff up now.


(shame on me, let me get on my soap box)
I'm sorry to all of the people I managed to annoy with this dumb @ss thread.

Here's to you Mrs. Robinson, you've done nothing but take stabs at me since the first response, and you call me a "pr*ck"?
Did your mommy not hug you as a child?

FYI, the forums are here to ask questions and express concerns... what are you doing here other than insulting people?

hey xs4is,
I've tried to give you the coveted starfish, but I keep getting errors from the server.

well my brothuh ovuh nuthuh muthuh, as soon as the servers quit being a pain in the patoot I'll pass along the well deserved starfish.
Thank you for dealing with my neurotic behavior and having a sense of humor.
other than that, thank you for helping me clarify the changes with the new Logic Studio too. I guess Apple will be getting my money sooner than later. (you had to know that I wasn't going to be left behind through a transition like this right?!)
