I've been using logic for 10 years and am blown away how CPU processor speeds have finally "caught up" with plug ins. Remember when you could only run a few Sonnox EQ's on an old 888 system? They'd take up almost an entire chip. Now, I'm running 6 Sonnox reverbs and EQ's, multiple instances of Soundtoy's Echoboy, etc...all off my 2008 MacBook Pro! It's pretty incredible...

Point is - the need for mix cards was Protools biggest advantage against Logic and now that's no longer the case. Logic is gaining serious ground on PT.

The ONLY thing I've noticed, and tell me if I'm wrong, is that Core Audio pukes out a little quicker then Digi's audio engine. Levels get hot very quickly in Core Audio. Maybe this is what Apple is working on? A new audio engine?
