I'm pissed... I have Logic Gold, with EXS24 and ES1 (the latter which I don't use too much...) I even bought an audiowerk2 card. I'm gonna ride out my current system until it becomes completely incompatible with Reaktor (which is going to be updating by the end of the year supposedly, hopefully it'll still work well with Logic 4.8)
I think even if I switch to Cubase, I'll still use Logic 4.8, with the EXS24 sampler, it's very powerful. I also feel that the effects plug-ins that came with the program are the best I've ever worked with (and I've worked with some pretty fancy ones in my music technology courses.)
Switching to a Mac is not an option for me. I build my own PCs, and I prefer it that way. Add to that the fact that Apple has a monopoly on their hardware resulting in everything costing more... blech, no thanks.
