Wait - for some odd reason, it shows up on Apple's own web site. The full Logic Studio Suite (That's Logic + MainStage +  Soundtrack Pro and all the rest.)

Only for a whooping $500. lol (Actually, considering everything that's in the box, it really is NOT expensive compared to the competition).

But, Logic and MainStage can be purchase for $225 in the app store. Considering that Soundtrack Pro is on its last leg, I wonder who in their right mind would order this.

btw did anyone say if Logic was available outside the app. store yet?  It's quite a big thing that relates to the OP if the original vendor is having to pay the host commission just to appear on their format.

There are copies left in the music stores I guess. I sometimes see it online over at Amazon and such. But I don't think it'll be the case for the next version.

Thanks, I'll take that as a 'no' then.

Music stores used to take it I imagine because it contributed a line to their sales potential, now that business is Apples exclusively.  That's what I'm talking about.

Apple needs to sell the hardware too - which is why places like Sweetwater, Sam Ash and such are "authorized resellers" and will likely remain. I guess that, as an authorized reseller, you had to distribute Logic as well.

You might find it still appears in that form to support some advertising copy somewhere that claims vast amounts off the RRP.  You're right who'd buy it at that price, but it's doubtful it's continued appearance is a mere mistake.

Gotta love the terminology, no?

Many will be glad to hear the ubiquitous Mac vs PC debate will soon be over.

Long live Apple, the logical only choice...

I keep an eye on that thing - though I don't have an iPad. 
I know people love to hate gimmicks and consumer-level stuff, and to make almost apocalyptic claims about the pro-market, but what's consumer stuff now was cutting edge not so long ago.


48 tracks of audio on a friggin' tablet, how awesome is that. Don't have to like the idea of mixing those 48 tracks on such as small screen, but I can see potential integration into a larger set up.

 
What's a "SONAR"?

Roland dropped 29 yen just yesterday. That was 4.73% of it's value. 

A few years ago that would have only been a 0.9% hit. 

It dropped from 679Y to 584Y in the past 8 days... and that's more like 14%. 

Cakewalk is pushing copies of Ozone Stutter edit to keep the keeping on, keeping on. 





Maybe Z3tA sales for Mac will turn it all around. 

If that happens... well, you know what's next. 

Bright shiny iPads for eveybody!!! Oh yeah I forgot... no iOS support. :-S 




I'm stocking up on strings for my acoustic guitar. 

lol...  there will always be guitar strings.  but hardware synths?  hardware guitar fx?   hardware mixing desks?   Anyways, that is what I was trying to express when I linked Alice Cooper's Trash....   "The market of the professional musician is very tough right now."

I had a similar discussion w/ a couple of friends working on the inside a few months ago - the numbers are incredible. Seeing that even such household names were into such financial situations, man... That's enough to discourage anyone reasonable (but then, we're talking about artists) from even trying to get signed and record their first album. 

Hey sorry I went rogue into far-off-topic regions projectM and implied Mac users were stupid too apparently.

But hey Mac started it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5z0Ia5jDt4
