ah, I see. I did'nt know you can capture the MIDI data with IAC. Just hit record in Logic (DAW)? Does it sync up?

I haven't really bothered with midi clock, if that's what you mean by sync. I don't like that Logic only wants to be the master when using std midi clock (if I'm wrong, somebody pleeeeez help me figure that one out!), and I'm not sure yet how to do this in BBMac09 (slave). I just put Logic in record mode and hit play in BB. What I get in the DAW is like importing SMF's, except I've captured everything in perfect sync (including those elusive high bank patch changes that don't seem to make it into the SMF dumps from BB.) And, of course, any real-time thru action from my keyboard.

Nice thing I like about the IAC driver, versus the BB Virtual Driver, is that I can be real specific where each port goes to. If you think of the IAC busses like midi cables, it makes sense. So instead of routing directly to my DAW, I can put a synth inbetween; and any real-time events are captured into the DAW.

You got me thinking on that sync question; It definitely would be sweeter to have BB slaved to the DAW than the other way around. I think I'm gonna fire up a thread in the tips-n-tricks for that question.
