logic gold and silver: i know this because i use silver and as soon as i can afford it i'm going up to platinum.

 

there are two big differences for me, personally:

1. multichannel input and output. logic silver supports only 1 stereo input and 4 stereo outputs. my soundcard supports 16 stereo ins and outs and therefore i am way underusing it with logic silver. gold either supports 8in/out or 16, i don't recall.

2. the hyperdraw feature in silver is limited to volume and pan envelopes. to control other parameters (modulation, cutoff, and so on) you must either use the "hyper edit" window or setup a new "midi instrument" that converts volume/pan controller data into modulation/cutoff/whatever controllers, and setup a track to send to that psuedo-instrument in order be able to draw your cutoffs in the main sequencer (arrange) window. if you want more detail on this, i can elaborate.

 

other differences:

1. effects: gold has more and better quality effects. i don't really need the gold/platinum FX because i have a creamware pulsar with pro FX already, but you may want those compressors, eqs, filter, and reverbs and so on.

2. price: silver is cheaper!

3. the number of FX plugins: silver supports only 2 vst or directx plugins per audio track. gold supports more, platinum more than that.

4. the number of effect busses: silver has 4, gold 8 or more, platinum unlimited i think.

 

hope this helps

Excuse me...

I have been using a $6000 studio (Yamaha 03d Mixertable, fully expanded A3000-sampler, Nord Micro Modular, SH-101, Roland TB-303, Nordlead 1 exp, Nordrack 2, JP-8080, FS1R, and more).

 

I now use 90% software because it sounds as good as hardware (if you tweak it correctly)..

 

The only synths that are better as hardware are the pure analog ones (SH-101 is the best!).. The rest is the same, bits are bits.. For instance Access Virus is available as pure software, sounds the same exactly the same..

 

Ofcourse, making music with hardware is more fun and much easier (hands on things like knobs ;) )

 

You can make releaseable stuff with FruityLoops but its hard to be innovative with it..
