Mine too
NO DONGLE - bye bye :)
Just clicking through the features
totally new 'one window' design
instant access to library
drop in and out of a part of any selected region
auto-comping - logic creates a comp from your swipes of different takes and adds crossfades on the fly
etc etc etc

Is this what we've been waiting for for five years? Not sure, but you can't say it hasn't been Apple-fied

hmmm...

Perhaps it will be the Protools killer people have wanted for years. It certainly looks interesting with the single window approach.

I'll be staying with Samplitude, but I know a few people who may be tempted.

Is it going to be any better? I have Logic Pro and just cant get on with it... I had thought it would make a great second system to stall going PTHD from Mix- but nope, its still as clunky as ever. Great for writers but not a studio tool for me.

Um... also, did it just drop in price by $500? I'm not a Logic user, but I seem to remember the full previous version costing $999. Only the education version was $499. Am I wrong?

Ok,

I'm interested to know if there's really something there besides the no-dongle and a cheap price... Someone tell me otherwise.

I ain't feeling like killing my PTHD with this.

$500 USD new? Hell, I paid twice that for Pro.

No $1k dongle - very good.

Whoa, that's looking pretty sweet, and I say this as a long time PTHD user. At $499, that's pretty much a no-lose proposition for me to pick up a copy and install it on my Mac Pro and see how this baby works...

I just watched one of their previews - that consolidated window looks an awful lot like Pro Tools.

Anybody figure out the true extent and reliability of TDM compatibility?

Haven't seen something about the synthesizers and ultrabeat on the apple site.



I wonder whether the midi timing with outboard has improved.

Yes, but if it makes audio editing a breeze like it is for some of us PT diehards, well....

Apple - Logic Studio - Logic Pro 8

I's the 4th QT movie down the first column.


They also have a "Snap to Transient" feature which works just like "Tab to Transient" on PT.

I think you're right, but it also looks like everything has been completely rehauled and I wouldn't be surprised if this involved a complete code rewrite. Besides, Logic was fine before it just had some "issues" that kept it from being really great and at first glance it looks like Apple has made a real effort to address these issues (sample accurate arrange, consolidated the complexity, no more XSkey etc).

That looks like about a 1-3 ratio of key commmands to PT.

PT has a two-window concept, Logic8 has a one-window concept which I think is a better idea. Logic8 also has a Dual Channel Strip in the main window now: "View and manipulate the entire channel strip for the selected track and any auxiliary or output channel strip to which it is sending a signal — without ever leaving the Arrange window."

Digi just went back to sleep.

This isn't a disruptive product release. They fixed the thing up (learning a bit from Ableton Live, Reaper, and the others, it looks) and slashed the price in half. Pretty minor for all that waiting.

In fact, the main disruption may be a crippling price war within the alternative DAW market...
