It doesn't make sense to me whatsoever. Buy Emagic and one of the most used and beloved DAW:s on the market, just to be able to make Garageband and then not care at all about Logic? Make Logic into an app for musicians only? Then what is Garageband for and why did they make that?
I don't see why one would suspect that Apple wants to make their audio segment less pro oriented than any of their other segments. Especially when they have bought an existing pro app.. why degrade it? When you already have had a pretty good consumer product (Garageband) available for years? In fact, Garageband - Logic (or whatever they'll call it) feels like a very logical equivalent of iMovie - Final Cut Pro. For example.
Now if they completely re-write the whole thing and change it drastically, it might turn into a shitty program. It might also be great. We'll see..
Point is that I think Apple's ambitions are high and that there are few reasons to believe anything else.
