I wouldn't take any of that too seriously... There are rumors of the exact opposite as well, w/ people once again quoting inside sources. 

Those who tell don't know and those who know don't tell.

Is Logic being discontinued? Only by the youth of today. We older ones still use it and we mix it with a little common sense.

This whole thing seems to have originated from the Pro Tools Expert page. Not sure how reliable they usually are, but in this case they seem to make an awful lot of assumptions to say the least.

For what it's worth "pro application specialist" are marketing guys, not actual coders and developers. 

A quote from the admin of Logic Pro boards, author of the Logic certification books.

"During the transition from Apple distributing Logic through conventional retail channels to distributing it exclusively in the Mac App Store, Apple laid off the Logic sales teams. Those teams' role was to place the Logic boxes in stores (Guitar Center, Sam Ash etc..), check the location and presentation of the product in the store, create in-store promotional events, etc... all things that Apple will no longer need in the future since the move to the Mac App Store. The Pro Audio development and management teams are still alive and kicking."

What version Common Sense do you use? - sometimes I feel I'm still using a Windows Millennium version!

I use XP version. Sure it lacks...erm....erm.... oh yeah, memory but it still works for most things.

I heard this rumor and Apple responded and said they are going to continue to keep logic around. 
I guess we will wait and see.

They have given away all the additional content for free and now there is nothing to give away anymore. 

I made my way through the headslapping pictures at gearslutz.com and found a current post that states the Logic team is "growing and growing". Sounds like bollocks to me, you don't have a team sitting around for four years because even if you had a great plan for a product at the beginning of that time- it will be out of date 4 years later in the software world.

It's like Tracktion and Acid I think, discontinued but still sold. 

This is probably related.

As far as assumptions and conjectures go, there are also people pretending to have access to reliable sources who assure them that Logic X will blow everything else out of the water.

There are people saying that the lack of new features in the latest updates are an indication that Logic is dying. But then, there are those who say that it's only an indication that Apple is indeed working on Logic X.

As far as I know, the staff isn't just sitting around - they continually release free updates. Senior Support Managers have been in contact w/ some users who've experienced an issue w/ the GUI, saying that they are working very hard on a fix, which they expected the latest patch to address. So at this point, the product is still supported and being worked on.

Logic 9 came out in 2009, so the whole team obviously hasn't been sitting around for 4 years. Again, that's distorting the facts to make things look a certain way. 

As I pointed out before, Apple recently acquired Redmatica and was granted a patent for a polyphonic note detection. This may give a clue that they haven't abandoned their pro audio platform.

But really, the more I read that Pro Tools blog, the more I see blatant misinterpretation and sensationalism. As I said, the pro audio application specialists have NOTHING to do w/ software development and the reason why they were laid off is quite obvious.

So there you have it - bloggers quoting bloggers quoting bloggers twisting the truth. Mr. Owsinski didn't really impress me w/ this one.

As far as blogs go:

As far as anything Apple is concerned, I'd trust him before the Pro Tools bloggers...
