| Apple demonstrated two new plugins at NAMM, so I guess they will be part of Logic when they are ready. Logic Pro now includes the following existing plugins:
Emagic Space Designer, ES1, ES2, EXS24 mk II, EVP88, EVB3, EDV6 and EVOC20 vocoder/filterbank package.
Over 50 effect plug-ins included: various delays, reverbs, distortions, dynamics, modulation effects, BitCrusher, Auto Filter, Enveloper, Spectral Gate, etc.
Of these, Phase/Clip Distortion, Denoiser, DeEsser, Tremolo, Stereo Spread, Exciter, SubBass, Limiter, Adaptive Limiter, Multiband Compressor are new.
The two leading AU compatible platforms are Logic and Digital Performer, but Apple's action reduces the need that Logic users have for new plugins as far as I can tell.
I agree GarbageBand is also a threat however at the low end of the market. I bet Ableton, Arturia and companies in that part of the market will see the impact of GarbageBand, whereas Digi, MOTU and Steinberg will see mainly the impact from Apple driving Logic prices down. |
