Nice one. :D

I seem to have stayed on the Boss BR route - I did wonder about getting souped up on the pc front, but I just find it easier using a box rather than loads of software etc... so I bought the BR1600 a couple of weeks ago.

Got it all working yet? Or are you facing a weekend with a bottle or two, several bags of nachos, and all the manuals/helpfiles :lol:

I was thinking of a G5, but it's silly money and then you need moniter and the mac ones are over £600! This quad core model is quite new I think and would have had the same CPU power more or less.

The software  should be a lot better than the programs I've used in the past too. Some of the demos I had at the music show at the Excel Centre last year left me well impresssed.

I don't know if you will be using the built-in amp modelling in Logic, as real men use valves and all that...

But if you do, it would be interesting to hear what you think of it. I'm still using Logic 8, as 9 is Intel-only and won't work on my 6-year old G5, but apparently the modelling has been greatly improved in 9.

If I need valve power, I just get my Koch out!
