Ha, let me know if they ever offer a Windoze version of Logic (again).
 
Btw, anyone using Metro (or remember back when Cakewalk was involved with it)?

I do remember Metro which I first heard of when Cakewalk was its distributor and it was Mac only - and funnily enough, they also had a notation program back then.
 
See how I just used the words Cakewalk, Mac and Notation all in the same positive sentence? ;)
 
Metro is pretty unique. Not for me but I know a few people who could probably appreciate it. There was a huge thread on KVR last winter.
 
As for Logic on the PC, I wouldn't hold my breath. ;)

Well this announcement makes a Mac Pro purchase for me eminent.  $200 for a Pro DAW?  That seems ridiculously inexpensive.  They modeled their context sensitive help function after Ableton Live, which to me, is the best there is - allowing newbees to learn the program really fast.  I still struggle finding answers using Sonar's help function.
 
My kids (7 and 10) have already figured out Garage Band on my ipad and iphone - on their own without any help.  Logic Pro X took some things from Garage Band, and you can migrate your projects from Garage Band to Logic - so for my kids, Logic Pro X would be the logical next step - as opposed trying to teach them Sonar.
 
It's interesting how close their new dark Color scheme is to Sonar X2.  
 
A draw back is the Apple forum.  In browsing through the threads there doesn't seem to be a strong community of regulars.  It seems impersonal.  I could be way off base, but this Sonar forum seems to be far better.  Maybe it's because I've spent so much time here.

This looks like a serious piece of software. And a huge surprise which is the Apple way of doing things. As a Mac virgin, I just got my first Apple laptop, I've been thinking of geting Logic to play around with. Looks like a good time to invest in it.

Man, I love Sonar but my growing dislike of Windows and Microsoft is really making the dark side look promising!

They made the changes that I would have made to the program.

Did you try this place: http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/ ? The owner and admin actually writes certification books for Logic. Nice place.
 
That being said, Cakewalk forums just can't be beat. :)

Having used Logic X pretty extensively over the last few evenings, I'm pretty impressed with it.  I haven't encountered any bugs or instability problems, the new UI is gorgeous (IMO, of course) and better organized, track stacks make a world of difference for a clean freak like me who demands organization within my projects, the new Retro synth, MIDI FX (esp. the arp!), and Drummer are all very cool, and the Remote iPad app is very impressive.  It's very cool that it includes a little keyboard/drum pad controller in the Remote app.  A lot of people around the web are complaining about Logic X (surprise!) and calling it GarageBand Pro, etc., but not me - I'm loving it.

Glad to read you dig it!
 
I've seen a bunch of people whining and complaining that Logic is now essentially Garage Band. Idiots and haters are always very vocal on the web.
 
According to the reviews from folks who actually know what they're talking about and have used Logic since the 90s in some cases, no features were removed and this new version is simply the best so far.
 
The dimwits complaining that it's GarageBand Pro probably made up their mind after seeing one or two screenshots. That's as much information as their brain can handle anyway, and in many case, even Garage Band would be too good for them.
