I had promised myself that I would spend money this year only if I actually had it in my bank account. Well, I actually *do* have the money in my bank account at the moment, but that's because the credit card bill from my December trip hasn't come in yet. But anyhow... I was in the Stevens Creek area getting a gas cap from the military surplus store, and, uhm... on the way home I stopped by the mall. And walked into the Apple store. And laid down the plastic for $499 for Apple Logic Studio.
I won't be available for a while. This thing comes with approximately 2,000 pages of documentation (I'm not joking, the user manual for Logic Pro 8 is 1,000 pages, the Instruments and Effects manual is 500 pages, and there's several hundred pages of other assorted random documentation). This is all the stuff, including all the loops packs and effects packs and such, that Apple used to sell for $1500 total (if you bought everything) back in the Logic 7 days. For 1/3rd the price. Finally, professional quality tools in the hands of the people!
Oh, for those who remember their MIDI -- my old MIDI controller had a single MIDI plug that plugged into the MIDI IN of my keyboard. The new Lexicon Lambda has no such thing. It has a MIDI OUT and MIDI IN. I'm assuming that I jack the MIDI OUT of the Lambda to the MIDI IN of the keyboard. True? I guess I'll find out soon enough...
