Can I record live "real" instruments?

I need to record my own Piano and Drums but need something to add some layers on and produce releasable sounding material. If I use Logic can I record my own instuments onto it and then doctor the sounds when I've recorded them? I presume I will also need good mics for this?

Will I need the Audio interfaces, Mixing boards, and monitors before I to start record?

If I get Logic Studio and a microphone will I be able to start recording straight out the box?

How do the processing demands of Logic Pro 9 compare to those of Digital Performer 8? Is Logic more efficient in concrete, measurable terms?

I've been using DP for years, but since installing version 8 I've noticed that my eight core Mac Pro is sometimes hitting the wall on CPU with as few as 12 tracks (6 live + 6 virtual instruments) and 3 or 4 plug-ins. This is new behavior and has me considering a switch to Logic. Has anyone done a side by side comparison using the same or similar source material and measured the results in terms of processing demand? Unless Logic has significant performance benefits it's not really worth the effort to make the change.

If you install Logic Studio on a macbook and then later buy macbook pro can you unistall the program and re-install the program on newer laptop?

I want to confirm this would be legal under the license agreement. The program is being un-installed from 1 laptop and being put on a newer laptop purchased by the same owner.

How does Logic 7 compare to Logic 9?

I am a current user of Logic 7. I had originally purchased this program for the purposes of film scoring. Prior to having a mac book pro, I used Sonar in Windows. I've had alot of issues with Logic 7 in terms of recording my own material. It randomly deletes lso files~ different tracks are randomly at different volumes... i could go on and on- the biggest drag though is, when I do have a problem, 7 is outdated, and it's difficult to resolve issues. The biggest issue has been saving projects, lso's etc. to an external hard drive- if I move it or save it- it erases the aiff and i have to manually search for it... if it's there at all!!! If anyone has any input I would be very grateful. Christine Hagan
