Logic Pro 9 quick review

Question

I'm a professional Logic Pro user (12 hours a day). I'd like to say a few things about the new version 9. Its amazing. Does almost everything it's competition does. The new flex tool will speed up editing tremendously, and the guitar amps sound great - as good or better than anything else on the market (I have everything else on the market!). Also, the new production tools are going to be HUGE, such as convert to sampler instrument, in place bounce, and so on. If you're a pro, buy it, but not too soon, because I don't want TOO much competition

Answer 1

1. Envelopes on individual events
No, but you can use the click zone fade tool for fades, and you've always been able to use hyperdraw on volume to use region-based volume controls. It's not exactly the same, but better than nothing.
2. 32bit export
Nope.
3. better midi (more than 16 at a time)
Same as before, as far as I can see.
4. MIDI plugins (MIDI audio-unit plugs)
No, audio unit plugins are still audio-only, as far as I can see. At least, there's nothing to indicate any other tyoe.
5. the ability to run muli-channel plugins, such as the B4 organ or multi-channel samplers
Yes, you can do this. You say you need three different B4's to access all three manuals - this is rubbish, you've always been able to use multi-timbral plugins within one instance. If you mean the MIDI automation of multi-timbral plugs, I'm not sure yet if anything has changed - haven't looked yet...
