Hi Andy, it depends who the M.E is (some guys have certain preferences)

This is an example of the preferred format I have for premasters sent. When in doubt ask your M.E what they want!
Yeah 10.0.7 here tbf it isn't as bad as it was at the start, I'm getting my teeth more about the yosemite beta atm but I can't really complain after all I did install a beta, hopefully it will be sorted soon when the release comes out officially
I think for compression the built-in one does alright but I'm not a fan of the m'band in there so maybe look for an alternative to that.
I replaced my reverb with 3rd party but still use the built in logic delay (even though I have some nicer ones)
EQ you will probably be alright for basic stuff, if you want analogue emulations then obvs go 3rd party or if you need more flexibility check out Fab-filter pro-q
Can I ask, why does it have to specifically be a pcie option? Have you looked into firewire interface options? They run not too expensive for simple 2-in/2-out option
What's the full directory you are trying to copy?
Have you selected the 'keep my iTunes organised' thingie? If so it may have moved everything to it's own folder (so many nightmares have been created from this button!)
I've just got my beta copy of Yosemite and am going to be trying it out soon but wanted to know if anyone on here has given it a blast yet and found any changes to stability with Logic X?
