to upgrade now or later?

Hey folks,

I just got a gig doing music for television. I'm using logic 5.5 on a pc, which for now is doing the job just fine. However, obviously at some point the program will be outdated. My question is for people more familiar with the rate of change of technology - I haven't been doing music production on a computer for long so I can't judge it. The issue is, being swamped with work right now, I do not have the time to get cubase/nuendo and learn a new sequencer, or the money to buy a mac and stick with logic. Do you think I should be okay with logic 5.5 for the next, let's say 6-8 months, or do I really need to upgrade asap?

thanks,

Jon

You'll be fine.

Logic 5.5 is good software... it's actually good enough for you never to need an upgrade.

Thing is that one day you'll want a new puter with windows (in some new version that'll come, or a mac). And chances are logic 5.5 won't run on that. So by that time you'll have to upgrade. In the meantime... if it works... it works ;)
