"Insanely great product" is a marketing facade on what the developers see as DEATH TO THE COMPETITION. |
But wait, you guys are missing my point. When an audio engineer buys Pro Tools and a Mac to run it on, Apple makes a TON of money. They don't need Logic for that. So it's not direct competition. That's why they're still such close partners, because Digi makes Apple money. If you study them closely, Apple are mainly interested in selling computers (and iPods and iPhones). Garageband helps sell a lot more computers than Logic, thus the emphasis that everyone has noticed since the Emagic buyout.
I'm not saying they'll abandon Logic (any more than they already have), but don't expect a dramatic change of priorities or quicker updates and bug fixes anytime soon. Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but this thread shows the current state of affairs: wishful thinking from hardcore Logic users, contrasted by lack of updates, bug fixes, etc. from Apple. The evidence speaks for itself IMO...
