Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hi,
I am a new logic user (PRO) having switched from Pro-Tools. I am interested in meeting u 
with other composer/producers using logic at the begining and intermediate levels for 
discussions on composition, producing and arranging.

I was part of other such groups in my home town of Providence RI. These were meetings of 
all the arts together. We found conections like these help foster creativity and and 
inspiration.

I am thinking about late July - maybe as simple as meeting on hte patio of a Starbucks, and 
just introducing ourselves.

If you are interested, feel free to write me back.

you are always welcome to create your own group, recruit and announce 
meetings here. the meeting at south coast is not an intimate group of pro's, but its 
not a product pitch either. there are no apple corporate suits there, nor any 
sales or marketing people.   I have known Darren, the logic teacher, and he 
started as a logic user producing his own techno music, then got hired by Apple 
to be the logic teacher there. So he is an enthusiastic logic user first and 
foremost. He is very open to questions and discussions - a very cool guy. We 
occasionally discuss non-Apple products too such as plugins and virtual 
instruments. The logic trainer (another fellow coming to this special engagement) 
might be trying to stir up some business for himself, but you don't have to buy 
into that. And of course Orren Merton wants to sell his books I would imagine. 
But I don't think you need fear any hard core sales presentations. You can 
always meet some people there, who are more pro and potential collaborators.

Did you know there is a Logic users in LA group on Yahoo already? I have not 
seen much action on it for months but there are others in the LA!
