thanks for the info tequila,

i think what you were referring to is called the Audio wrapper that is supposed to make VSTi compatible with Logic 6, but ive heard of numerous problems when them together...

who knows, instead of just blindly jumping into this and buying a software i may regret later, i may hold back and do a bit more research on the two to see what i find is more convenient for my setup.

thanks for all the help guys!
