- The installation is done it without problems?

no problem, installation is very long (6 hours), watch your partitions (80GB total), banks of instruments and Loops can be installed on another partition but weighs only 30GB of the entire program.

- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?

no hardware incompatibility, but some problems with some VST plugin uses Logic as Audio Unit and VST does not recognize. This requires using the adapter "VST to AU" which does not recognize always the plugs.

- The general configuration is easy?

too easy, even more than Mac OS-X easily handles the South

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

about 1500 pages in total ... that's enough ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- What is the configuration of your computer? (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk / sound card ..)

Pumped Imac: 2.4 Ghz, 4GB RAM, 500GB internal drive, sound card and Motu Ultralite second Fastlane midi interface.

- The software works he correctly on this configuration?

Nickel

- What performance? (If quantifiable)

that m 'often find myself with 80 tracks that run together, so it runs well. In addition the "Gel" allows the click of a "bouncer" or "debounce" a track to ease the calculations.
As against this can quickly end up with some latency issues, it must adjust its buffer according to what one wants to do.

- This software + hardware is stable?

It almost never does not crash.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

1 year
- What is so special that you like most and least?

sound! plugins and software instruments provided sound good. The set gives a real sense of musicality. This is not to The UAD is a good base but all the same.

By against, having worked with many sequencers, I find that the interface is not always logical .... at the beginning you feel a little lost in those menus redundant. The interface processing Midi is Klingon, the manual is mandatory. This is the weak point of Logic, a lot of niceties that make things are not always as obvious that they could be. I think, for example, quantization of audio segments is happening in the "List" ... I have taken several weeks to find it.
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Yes, I do not regret one second.
