There is no native support for VST in Logic. However, you can use VSTs in Logic via. Plogue Bidule (loaded either as software instrument, effect, or via. Rewire in stand-alone mode).

I have a Novation Remote 25 SL Compact and it runs great with Logic 9 (actually MUCH better than with Logic 7).

Cheers

You can transfer via Audio input or from I/O ports as this how I Record/ Play my Masters and Demo's. I use the the I/O ports exclusively as this gives a true representation of the Music. There are several good systems that can interface with Logic and out of past experiences I use Focusrite Saffire Firewire Audio Interface as you get more ports for your money and the firewire link is reliable 99% of the time. I was using the Micro USB connectors for the Net MD but found this only works with Cubase/ Cakewalk systems on Microsoft driven PC's. I have a Sony stand alone with O/I in/out ports and use the Dins for the amp only as all Dins are prone to interference and at the end of the day the stand alone are not that expensive compared to the price of Logic 9.

Yes, there are more plug ins available for mixing/mastering in Logic Pro 9...also would like to add that everything you have in logic express is also in Logic Pro but you will be adding to it with Logic Pro with additional tools and plug ins. I'm not exactly sure what comes with logic express 9 but I did have 8 and when I bought Logic Pro 9 it made quite a difference.

I am new to Mac as well, but i am not knew to DAW's and Interfaces.

Logic definitely allows you to use an interface, in fact Unlike Protools, you can use pretty much any interface you want!

The easiest way i know to back up your data in that situation, would be to back up ALL your sample libraries, ALL your itunes, and any Music sessions you might have onto an external HDD.

After you have backed up everything, Inactivate your Native instruments Software, then do a clean install of Snow leopard. There are many videos of all these processes on youtube.

Anyone else having similar questions should visit their local music store, in the software section as those people tend to know a lot about interfaces and DAW's.
