hello their, first of all, thanks for posting replies for my yesterday's foram topic on reaper vs logic. I came up with few more questions. 1. how is the accessibility of some of the vst's with VO on mac? like I mostly use kontakt, nexus, sylinth1, waves for mixing, etc.
2. can we use the vurchual keybord to play music on mac? because, sometimes i manages to compose some of. the beats and melodies using the laptop keybord on my windows, so will it works same on the mac as well?
3. if I need to install the instruments of logic, will I need to get an ssd or htd of 1 tb? as my mac is of 256 gb variount.

Hello there. For your first question not all plugins from third party companies are accessible or, at least not as much as I'd like them to be, in that case, not sure about Mexus as I don't own that plugin but sylinth1, and waves are doable for the most part. 2. Yes, you can use your computer keyboard to play in midi. I don't because I have a komplete control s61 MK2 that I use and that's also how I load a lot of my plugins so don't have to worry about much accessibility if plugins have NKS support. 3. Yes, I'd recommend at least a 1TB SSD to get you started. I've got both a one TB and a 2 TB SSD for my logic libs and komplete stuff plus some other libs that I use for production. HTH. Also it's worth noting that logic has a bunch of stock plugins for mixing that are honestly vary good in my opinion so you don't even have to use waves if you don't want but if you have some waves plugins, good for you! I honestly combine some waves plugins with logic stock and they sound really great together!
