Glad to hear that you had some relatively good news about your back.

I have not checked out the issue with my Mac yet as you said it could have been the internet connection or just the Mac being a diva. I really did not give it much time, I removed it as soon as I saw the issue. I haven't played the last few days much, my wife found another house and if we proceed on it (which I am pretty sure we will) I will have to sell mine so I busted my rear end getting it ready for the market. My pain will just south of yours :roll:

Did you see the new macpro core training video? Let me know. Be well.

Yes, it is a lot of work and a lot of stress. But if it works out it will well worth it. If not I will start learning the blues :lol:

Let me know what you think of the core training video when you watch it.

Are you referring to the logix X core training? If so I am three or four into it. I am about half done with maschine. I saw enough of the logic X to know I would like it but right now I have 8 express. As soon as I am done with maschine and massive I will work through logic 8 core book and any vids on Mac Pro video. I realized last night I don't know how to get my slmk2 to connect with maschine through logic so that's what I am looking for now. I am certain I am going to be using 8 express for the next 6 months or so. I hope the transition to X is easy. From the vids I have gotten through it looks like a fairly simple transition from 8.

I am really excited about stacks!

This weekend I hope to migrate all music software to a 1 TB external drive. I am concerned it will be to slow. Which is one reason I am hopped up on logic X and an external thunderbolt ssd. Can't hurt to try though.

Stacks is very cool. I think you will like it.

Give it a shot. It is worth trying for sure.

Let me clarify, when I said "give it a shot" I meant the external drives not Logic X.

Even though I think you will also like Logic X as well.

How did you make out with your drives Bertotti?

Re-injured, on the road and just haven't gotten to try moving everything over yet. Reformatted my 1 terra byte drive. I am going to mirror my MacBook Pro to it tonight. I think it will work fine, turns out maschine has to be loaded on a bootable drive and I had the 1t set up as storage only.


Moved all of my aperture and photos to the external drive saved a lot of space. And as insurance I burned all my photos to dvd. I left everything else on my laptop. The speed of my external drive is just numbing after the ssd. I do not mid working my photos that way because I am very slow with my corrections anyway and do not batch edit. So until I can get a external thunderbolt ssd I will use this set up. I have enough room now to load Logic X once i get it, and room for projects. Not ideal but I really do not trust HDD. I have had to many fail over the years. 6 in as many years, with two of them going within months of install. Gues I am just a stubborn old Bas#$%^&*&^. :D

Talk to you soon.
