Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Some of your question I cannot address.  But I do have some experience working with a 
client and not wanting to waste a day or half day to be rejected.  

What I do is a spend an hour or even half hour cranking out a down & dirty demo and send 
it to him with all kinds of explaination.  Then try to get a response to "am I in the ballpark 
with this one?" before I hunker down and spend significant time programming/recording.

I am getting paid a flat fee per song, so it behooves me to make sure I don't end up 
making minimum wage (or less) per hour.

Let us know how this plays out.
