I'm fucking sold. First thing I'm doing when this album is done, is going back to a hackintosh setup, in preparation for Logic 9.
New logic is out!!

You dont. You just need to have compatible stuff...google osx86 wiki and there´s a hardware compatibility list in there.

i can't sleep fuck. need this upgrade like yesterday. i thought 8 was a step backwards in a weird way.
i got so excited going through the apple site i almost blew up. like an asshole i drove to the 24 hour apple store in manhattan thinking they had it and they are like we get it in 2 days. i mean it was only a 15 minute drive but still, i was
if everything works as intended i think it will make my whole life better. they finally listened after 3 versions of shit audio editing and addressed these issues.

Nobody else has anything that comes close to Cubase's drum list editor, or logical editor, or its superb handling of complex nested track folder structures and large track counts in general. Also, Cubase is the most CPU efficient DAW in my experience. For me, these are the things that matter most and that I use most often - they've solved a lot of long standing frustrations I had with other DAWs.
That said, Logic 9 and Pro Tools 8 look excellent and they've added a lot of great features. I think it's less an issue of Steinberg getting outclassed, but rather more an issue that the entire DAW space is getting very competitive lately, which is great for everyone regardless of platform. Somebody is always going to be ahead of somebody else in some area or another - what matters is what works for you.
If you primarily are doing a ton of audio tracking and very little MIDI, you'll be happier in Pro Tools, just make the jump, its MIDI is 90% as good as Cubase these days anyway.

Since I already have Nuendo at the studio I work on, and Cubase at home, i was thinking of using what I already have to mix and use Logic to track/edit. I love Cubendo, but the fact that drum editing (and editing is general) is so cumbersome would justify for me the hole buying logic would make in my wallet 
I am spending 1 and a half to 2 hours to iterative quantize a 5 min song. It sounds great, but if i could cut down that time in half, i´d do that in a hearbeat.
I think Steinberg is losing for one thing: Not showing Nuendo new features ASAP (on the forum, its said theyll only release it after the 4.3 update...)

dont mean to call you out at all, but having used cubase, logic and pro tools there are certainly alternatives available that offer solutions just as good as those you have mentioned.
the drum editor in cubase is good, but so is the hyper editor, they both have strengths and weaknesses, however both do a very similar job in a similar way.
logic has had awesome stuff for midi for years, and its 'transform' functions are in no way inferior to the logical editor in cubase. i have literally done like for like functions in both, there really isnt a lot between them.
Logic is also really CPU efficient - considering apple own it now, there really is no excuses for them. logic 9 now has nodes for 3rd party plugins, so even if you are limited on CPU there are plenty of options available.

Oh fuck thats awesome. And "Oh Fuck, do I have no money"
I rushed through every page about Logic Pro and Express and haven't found out, where the limitations of Logic Express are in V9. I know in 8 there was no multiband-comp and some other rather small things (concerning ONLY Logic, not the whole Studio-package).

Not entirely true.
Apple states that PPC is not supported but the app itself is "universal binary" and there are reports coming in of Logic9 installing and running fine on PPC macs.
also note that in the System Requirements it says that Intel processor is needed to install "all applications", my guess is that mainstage2 (like its predecessor) will not install or run unless its rigid requirements are met.
i desperatly hope that the same can be said for the whole "10.5.7" requirement, i really dont want to have to fuck around with updating OSX.
Ah, OK. Did not know that or read into that way. Just didn't notice the system requirements till now and thought maybe I should post about it in case someone jumps the gun.
I'm always up to date so I wasn't concerned for my self. :Smokedev:

Cool,
though i cant imagine why it wouldn't work on versions prior to 10.5.7,
i reckon it's because 10.5.7 is the official current version, and as far as i know 10.5.5 is no longer "supported", much like how Vista is the official current version of windows and xp is officially unsupported (correct me if im wrong), yet apps still work on xp.

Updating OSX is simple really dude. I'm on Leopard at the moment (upgraded from Tiger) and when Snow Leopard is out, I'll be upgrading again. Time Machine will save me a lot of hassle this time around!

Yeah, but mine is a Hackintosh
either way, my current setup works and is solid, i don't want to change it.
EDIT:
im hearing on logicprohelp.com that the "Logic Node" utility is specifically Intel-Only.
