Or you could just stick with a Mac because they work fine and you
don't need to upgrade hardware :) How about Deck? If you like Peak so
much it's basically what you're looking for it sounds and it's pretty
reasonably priced. Depending on what you're looking for. I don't know
what all your needs are. I like logic fine. Especially logic 6. It's a
lot cleaner than it ever was. 7 is coming and i hear that one is going
to be killer. Logic has always had the whole "we're a midi program but
we're tacking digital audio on" feel. It's becoming less so lately.
VS. Protools which quite the opposite. "We're an audio program but we
do midi check us out." Personally I like to just do my midi in Logic
and then either export the midi out and import it into protools or
just record the midi and bring it up as an audio track in protools.
Seems to work great for me. There is no law that read "Thou must be
loyal to only one DAW Application" If you like Logic for MIDI use it.
Check out Protools. I've been using it since version 3. It's kind of
pricey and you have to use their hardware but I've never had a problem
with it other than the price. It's just stupid easy. Other programs
look nice and do all the same features but stability? as clean as
protools? I dunno. Why mess with a good thing.
YMMV
