And I've used them all, including Cubase, Nuendo and Sonar. I was skeptical about Logic for a long time, but when I finally bought a Mac and tried express out (starting with 8), I was floored at how intuitive the program is. Then I bought a few video tutorials and was really able to explore its power. There's no real difference between Pro and Express, except that Express is missing a couple of plug-ins. But only a couple, and the plug-ins that are included are MORE than most musicians need. It would be very easy to produce an album with this DAW. I can't recommend it more highly.

My first time using anything outside of GarageBand or Audacity, so it should be a very nice experience. I just got Logic 9 Express delivered yesterday, going to load it up today.

Then I got to pay $100 to upgrade to 8 (not crippled at all, functional equivalent of Logic Studio ... minus outboard apps.) So yeah ... it's a very good deal for $200 ... and if you add the Jam Packs (were $100, now floating around out there for <<<less) you'll have even more instruments and samples. It'll keep you busy and sounding quite good for a few years. (If you have a PPC Mac, tho, 9 won't work on it ... maybe you can catch a Logic 8 closeout.)
