Page 81 of the Logic Studio 8 User Manual states that Logic Pro Can be used as a lighting controller (Also in Logic 9), has anyone tried this? How?

This sentence is all I can find in all the manuals about using Logic and midi to control lighting. I have a DMX Operator Pro with midi IN and would like to try this on live gigs while using Logic. Does Anyone have any experience with this? I'm sure there would be better software for lighting, but since Apple has said that it can perform this function I would like to explore the possibility. I have a few Par 64's and some design Spot 250's that I want to control. Any suggestions?

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 i could go on and on- the biggest drag though is, when I do have a problem, 7 is outdated, and it's difficult to resolve issues.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

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.

i use Mbox2 as my interface, but found all DAWs worked sluggishly. Finally got Mbox working with PT8 + Logic 8. How can I improve performance

I was formally using Logic 8 with Tiger on a Macbook with Mbox2. Switched to an iMac with Snow - and couldn't get it working until recently now that I upgraded to Pro Tools 8.
I have 2 GB of RAM. Trying to run my hobby studio cost effectively. Will upgrading to Logic 9 help?
