“I’m running Logic Audio and have been thinking about getting into a Pro Tools system. The catch for me is I really like the Logic software, especially Emagic’s soft synth, but I understand that if I use the power of the Pro Tools TDM this and other Logic plug-ins will not be available. Is this true?”
Not really. To some extent this is true of most systems. You can’t run MAS plug-ins while using DAE, for example. Emagic has developed a very cool product they call ESBTDM, where EBS stands for Emagic System Bridge. Adding this software to your system will allow you to run native plug-ins while using DAE with Logic Audio. This means you can have all your TDM plug-ins running on the Digi hardware while also running your Logic compatible native plug-ins simultaneously. Truly the best of both worlds.
