Umm.. since as long as I can remember everyone has been hating on Digi. Long before Apple was a player. Every PT user (and other DAW users) know that Digi are ****ing pricks just like ksWaves. At that same time, everyone in the video field was hating on Avid. I mean really hating them (Avid is Digi's parent company). And the people who hated them the most were the ones who relied on them daily, because they felt the pain...
Apple came through with Final Cut Pro and made Avid switch gears.. cause FCP tore a ****in hole in their market and caused prices and proprietary hardware woes to slowly begin declining...
Looks like they're chipping away at Digi/PT in the same way. and YES, you're right, every fake-ass wannabe movie editor could now PIRATE free pro software... but the Hollywood pros were not concerned. Same with PT/Logic argument.

I just think a lot of opinions on which DAW is better are irrelevent for this reason.
And like I say, if I were meeting this many people on the musical scene getting into Logic 8 and I knew they had all payed 500$ for it, I would be taking this movement a lot more seriously. |
Totally true. I think we're both agreeing on everything really, I just feel like your posts are quite one sided.
So I made some one-sided arguments myself, in order to augment things a little around here.
Btw, I'm sure there are many, but I don't personally know one person using a pirate Logic 8... and I know at least 10 legit owners personally.
I guess if I was in audio school it would be different tho...
