2402 replies in this thread. Logic has won this one by far over any off it's competitors for sure!

So, I want from X that from then on Logic will be the DAW with the least on this type of speculation

A working guitar tuner. The existing one is atrocious. As it is now Im using Amplitube Free solely for the tuner

It would have to be a proper strobe tuner to be worth it. That would be bloody cool actually. Like a 'Strobosoft light' built into Logic.

I'm not so sure it's a win when everybody wants a new version instead of being content with the present one

[Leevi]

It would be the same with every other DAW, if it would be more than 3 years since the last version.

I meant it sarcastic, of course

That is of course so true, and, that's also why Apple should be ashamed, I think. But, I obvisously don't know their real agenda.

Speculation and discussion about what future versions will/could bring usually stays only a few months after a major release.

...and this thread started less then 6 months after the Logic 9 release. Anyway, this isn't the speculation/rumor thread, it's the suggestions/wishes thread... :-) In terms of speculation, I guess the ads Apple posted for more pro audio developers give some sort of vague hint of what they are planning for the next major Logic follow-up (or the one after the next one).

I would like to be able to point the cursor at the insert chain and get instant readouts of the levels. That would simplify gain staging i think.

Do you really need gain staging with 32 bit float?

[H.E.]

My thought is that each plugin has a sweetspot, if there is analog emulation involved anyway, that i would like to be in or near. Some plugins, according to people who know better than me, does not like to have too much level. It can cause overs within the plugin and will not show on the channel meter. So a quick way to confirm the levels within a insert chain should be handy.
If there is no plugins involved it would not matter due to the 32 bit float.

It makes your mixing life much easier
Since I do gainstaging, I never had to worry about levels from plugin to plugin, or within the plugin, no strange overs and I never had to touch the master fader anymore (stays at zero).

And when I bounce the single tracks, e.g. for remixers, they are all already at -12 dBFS. Just have to put the fader to zero and bounce.

Doesn't Guitar Rig 5's tuner have a strobe mode?

Could be, no idea. But I haven't got Guitar Rig and am not planning on buying it either. Got a Peterson though. Still would be nice to have something as good as that (if not as fully featured) inside Logic.

I would like to be able to treat Take Folders as Regions, fade in/out, Xfade, Gain etc

cheers

[musicl]

I would like a news page that opens on start up that is updated with Logic dev team progress once every couple of months with lots of 'we listen to your feedback' signs that the team holds

[claesbjo]

Pan-able sends would be nice..

[phas3d]

You can set the sends as post-pan. Isn't that enough?

It's nice to be able to pan your guitar left but have a delay or reverb panned right. Pro Tools does this. The 2 daws seem to be stealing features from each other so it wouldn't surprise me if things in Logic get updated.

[phas3d]

You can always pan the aux channel where you have the reverb/delays for that, but you would need to have that aux just for that guitar section of course. Might be a good feature to implement...

Yeah, thats what i´ve been doing, but as you said it has got it´s limitations and I find my self ending up with lots of auxes=clutter in a mix that could be avoided with a simple pan on the send

How about just a statement from Gerhard Lengeling, Chris Adam and Marcus Fritz, that they're still working on Logic and that their Pro users mean a lot to them and to expect something really great next year (2013)?

Of course they are - unless they instead are working on a follow-up product which will replace Logic. There was a slip not long ago where one of the Logic subreleases showed that they are working on "Articulation IDs".

Several quotes posted on GS and elsewhere - from people who know what they're talking about - support that the Logic team still are working, and I've seen Apple ads where they (at the original Emagic location) look for new people to include in their pro audio team:

Both the MIDI, audio and score parts of Logic are results of 15-20 years development, and should they want to do anything more than just add more code to the existing version of Logic, it could take time. I'm 100% sure they are working on this.

But - what do I want in Logic 10? Let's see... What about stealing a feature from GarageBand - and make areas which peak in audio regions turn red (only in the area which peaks)?

I think a new product is coming, new as in total rewrite with most stuff in Logic represented, and some new stuff, and probably some stuff missing. Pretty much like FPX.. There must be a limit for how long the old Logic framework can hold up, and now could be the time it gets replaced. Pure speculation ofc.

What ever they do, when it's going to be released, it will be the "best Logic Apple ever made!"

Not if they get rid of the environment..

I believe Apple's marketing unit doesn't really care. They call every new product "the best/most powerful they ever made"

Even when the iPhone wasn't able to send MMS, like all other competitors

they hired PT chief developer to fire him after a couple of months later long time ago
a plugin developer who was working on PT 10 left Apple for Line 6 lately
