Logic use to be my main sequencer, it still is,if I'm using a computer. But,
I'm not comparis Logic with Paris, rather Cubase SX/Nuendo, Pro Tools LE
AKA The Natives.

Logic does not handle audio, in both recording, editing and mixng the way
these apps do. Logic is a fine music creation DAW and yes you can mix fairly
well on it.. But, I would not say that it's audio engine is as sleek, fast
as

locked on how
to record to the 442. In the patchbay, the MEC sucks up all the inputs and
the 442 will not patch across EDS cards.

How do I get the 442 inputs/outputs active so I can record? And don't
laugh, I know this is probably simple for the Paris intelligentsia.

Thanks,
KentYou cannot patch across EDS cards without physically routing analog
connections between them. Do you have the ribbon cables connected between
the two EDS cards?

You should be able to drag the 442 to the patch window in the patchbay. I'm
not in front of my PARIS rig, so I can't walk you through this right now.
Mostly cause my brain is too small to remember the steps! If no one else
helps you out, I'll try to get back to you tonight.

I'll see if I can bring you up to date. :^)

They added new crossfade options to Logic. Version 6 or 7, I forget
which but I was glad to see it. You can just drag across adjacent
regions and can also edit numerically.

Added in 7.1: "Full Native Plug-In Delay Compensation
Take advantage of full plug-in delay compensation which now corrects for
latency produced on bus, auxiliary, and output channels in addition to
every other path in the native audio mixer. You'll especially appreciate
this enhancement if you own third party DSP cards like those developed
by Universal Audio and TC Electronics." (From
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301426)

I agree that Logic 5.x had limitations but they've been steadily
addressing them.

Here's an article about version 7 you may find interesting:

http://www.tweakheadz.com/review_of_logic_pro_7.htm

Apple's lists of 7 and 7.1 improvements:
