Wake up Logic guys!! Logic 8

[therage!]

You guys asleep?

Logic 8 is here. But I use Sonar/

[Mr. Antrobus]

It's not even 6:30 in the morning yet.

Whats this... Morning woo... No, it's logic 8.

And they threw in soundtrack pro? Must buy.

[therage!]

Am I reading this right, it's only $500?

[Mr. Antrobus]

You want to pay more?

Yeah, it's a shame that logic is no longer a $999.99 application.

But then again I think it will improve the ecosystem for mac audio in the long run.

This should be pretty compelling for new users given all the included content.

In the long run I think Apple wants to sell more hardware. And this is a pretty damn good way to do it.

[Mr. Antrobus]

The other thing folks are talking about is that it comes with an AC3 encoder for surround sound mixing. A $1000 value in digidesign land...

[TerraMortim]

hahaha NICE!

What a suprise about digidesign *rolls eyes* You have to pay buttloads for anything with those guys...such a thing of the past.

[TerraMortim]

looks outstanding, and great upgrade price! woohoo!

[Mr. Antrobus]

So lets see, I just got a refurb 17" inch 2.0ghz c2d imac with 2 gb of ram, an amt8, an old unitor8 plugged into the amt8, a logic control unit, an audiofire 12 on the way, logic 7.2.3...

And this is announced.

Damn its tempting...

So tempting...

if you just bought logic you can get an upgrade I believe for 10 bucks.

[Mr. Antrobus]

if I just got logic. I actually just got the imac and the audiofire that's arriving today. The rest of the stuff I've had around for a while...

(I looked at my first logic box, it's got a ver. 2.5 sticker on it. I won't count the later purchased creator/notator/logic 1 atari dongle/disks...)

[steveintampa]

Ordered it on Wednesday, and it's here on Friday! Heavy box with big fat manuals!

[TerraMortim]

Waiting for mine to arrive! How is it?

[MK-Ultra]

And an upgrade from Logic Express possible for cheap!

Dear Santy Claus.....

[steveintampa]

Installed it yesterday, but had a gig, so have not had a chance to eplore. Just started with Express recently, so this looks like it will be easier to learn the intricacies of.

Nice to have a consice manual for reference.

Took a while to install. Had to update the OS to th elatest version, Quicktime, etc.

About 3 hours total.

Going to play with it today before band practice.

[Mr. Antrobus]

Yep, couldn't resist. Drove down to tualatin and picked it up. Just think, someday when I've finished installing everything I might even make some music with this.

[TerraMortim]

I got mine in the mail today I'm in the process of installing it. on my g5...allready tried it on my MBP... LOOOOKS like we have an unadvertized HUUUUUUUGE feature. Go to the AU browser. . . . . What is new....there are new Node buttons on all the plugs.. looks like you can use 3rd party plugs for nodes now... That makes a world of difference for me.. you used to only be able to use the built in logic plugs for nodes.
