This is a normal post you can definitely timestretch and master with logic.

This is a normal post Actually
You can do both of those.

Timestretching can be done by selecting a segment of a sample, going to 'audio' at the top and selecting 'stretch to...' or something similar. Took me a while to figure out but that's only cos I hadn't read the manual. It's a piece of piss once you have the knowhow! You can also map a piece directly to the time signature you're using, rather than stretching it and squishing it til it fits.

Also, a lot of people favour Logic over actual mastering software like Ozone or WaveLab...

This is a normal post Fair
But i use logic 5.5 on a PC, and the way it processes sound is much inferior to a dedicated audio suite... Apparently this has been dealt with on the Mac versions since.

I didn't know about the time stretching function.

This is a normal post Ah righty
Being a smug up-their-own-arse mac user, I look down with contempt upon lowly PCs.

I've considered changing to Cubase... or indeed getting a Mac.

This is a normal post Nooooooo
I cannot stand Cubase.

It's not that it lacks features or anything, it's just horrifically unintuitive to use, to the point that it actually makes it really frustrating.

This is a normal post I use logic
but I was turned onto reason by c_kick, and find it easy to get ideas down in it.

This is a normal post Yeah
I have to say, as great as Logic is, it's not the easiest thing just to get onto and throw ideas down with.

I used to use Garageband when I just started out and, for all its faults and lack of versatility, there's no better DAW for just chucking ideas about and getting stuff out of your head.

This is a normal post Definately
It's made worse by the fact that I don't have a midi keyboard so it's painful note-painting for me...
