Hey neighbor,
BTW, my name's also Ian.
As far as regular posters here that use both, the first that come to mind are myself, machinesworking and adamjay. So there are some of us.
I personally feel like the time I spent in logic was not a waste, but in the order of events should have come after learning max/msp. Logic is in my opinion less intuitive and it would have been easier to have banged my head through it if I went through the foundation of learning tools max had to offer first.
The reason I bring this up is because there is Live, my favorite realtime instrument/environment. Then there is Logic, the customizable utility that can polish a turd and can soundflower some goodness into my live GUI. Max, however, with some time, completely could theoretically eliminate logic from the equation.
Almost anything really can be done in Live, though the tools in Logic sometimes make things more direct. I used to think that the two were a perfect pair. In theory they could work very well, but in terms of realtime it seems always unreliable and awkward. I never use Logic anymore. I imagine that version 7 will be an adequate utility for mastering in years to come. It should be fine for that when I'm ready.
OK, theres my ramble. Once I aked a local glitch-rocker if he knew anyone using Logic, as I was just getting into it. His response was "I used to but now they are all into MAX/MSP". At the time I thought he was just being pretentious, as, well, this guy is awfully pretensious, but the progression seems quite natural and in reetrospect he was probably being blunt.
Yeah. Even sulpture and it's epic GUI is starting to fade away in light of the immediate success I have been having with sampler.
Apple has done nothing to engage people in what is a very credible piece of software. Perhaps this is a good thing. Why change a good thing? In the interim live has caught up with it most aspects and surpassed it in almost all others.
