Revamped Logic On The Way? [Updated]

Wednesday February 28, 2007 9:21 am PST by longofest
According to a blog posting (translated from original French version) getting increasing interest around the Mac web, Apple's professional audio workstation product, Logic, is being redesigned. The new version, reportedly set to use a different name, is supposedly heavily dependent on Mac OS 10.5 "Leopard" features, and will require the new OS to run. Also mentioned is the possibility of Apple using previous patents in the new version to provide tactile feedback.

According to the site, the revamped version would be launched at Frankfurt's MusikMesse, which runs from March 28-31. However, Apple currently does not plan to attend MusikMesse.

At the present time, we do not feel these claims have much substance, and post them to page 2 for interest's sake only.

Update: While Apple's upcoming events page does not list MusikMesse, it does appear as though Apple has rented out three boths at the event.

I'd love to see a major rewrite...but it better be an upgrade to Logic and open Logic files.

And it better include all the major Logic features, a rewrite that is missing key stuff (like scrapping it and just adding to Garage band) would be seen as a step back and there'd be a huge "Apple killed Logic" outcry.

They better not eff this up, lots of us are depending on this app to make a living.

That all just pisses me off. If you're going to announce something, don't have a huge event to announce it'll be out in 5 months... and then delay it a month 2 days before it's due to ship.

It would also be ridiculous to get rid of the "logic" brand. So many people associate with it's image. The fact that it survives on the Apple platform hasn't dented its popularity, but starting re-branding from scratch would be a big mistake.
