I'm a competent keyboard musician in a lot of styles, but if you ask me to do rap or play Lizst, I'm gonna choke soooooooooo bad. Steve writes killer TDM plugs. Maybe he just doesn't take well to AU. Maybe he just hates working within the constraints that it puts him under. Who wants to go to work every day dreading what you have to do? No one. Whatever the reason, it's certainly a loss to Logic users, but please, cut the guy a break. |
if his plugs sound good, its because he has developed the mathematics and programming to give that sound - which can theoretically be implemented in any plugin format. So this whole issue is that he doesn't feel comfortable learning a new system which he is unfamiliar and feels Apple is not helpful.
I woiuld have to say that Apple must be pretty stupid not to call him immediately with the offer of some free personalized help.
He could also license his mathematics to Ohmforce, NI, Waves or others to put out his plugs under his name. BBE has a total of three different companies license their process and put them into plugins.
