Logic 9 Announced Today!(?)
The rumours are flying wildly around cyberspace today, only hours before Apple's annual WWDC event, expected to be the pedestal for the announcement of a brand new version of Logic Studio (as well as some update mobile cellular device).
We've heard lots of varied reports including that this is the most significant update to Logic yet and even that Logic Studio was just a stop-over update before the real-overhaul in Logic 9 (assuming that's what it will be called). As usual though, Apple are keeping tight-lipped. Exciting!
From another forum;
I had 24 hours to test the beta version and let me tell you that it absolutely rocks............
It craps all over Protools 8 (which I really love since updating PT7 the other week).
The audio editing leaves Protools in the dust with the all new 'elastic factory' and 'beat factory' audio engines that FINALLY allow high quality pitch shifting, time stretching, beat/loop slicing and 'beat detective' like functions.
The new intelligent tool can be programmed to allow your mouse easy selection and control of all important editing tools for audio, midi and automation editing.
Those new plug ins..... oh gosh!!!!! The new amp simulated leaves the old one for dead and I love the new Bass Amp Pro plug in. There's a heap of new 'vintage' plug ins with vintage delays, eq's, dynamics etc.
The new Melodyne like features in 'vox designer' eliminate the need for Melodyne or Autotune.
The freeze function has been greatly improved allowing the freezing of certain functions whilst leaving other functions unfrozen.
Finally Logic 9 has proper rendering for audio and instrument tracks.
CPU efficiency has been vastly improved eliminating the need for G4 and G5 users to upgrade to the latest Mac and Apple are even so kind to offer a free OS9 version of L9 for those who haven't quite made the switch to OSX!
The 24 hours I spent with the beta (between 12am and 11 59pm on 1 4 2009) was a fantastic opportunity to get a basic insight to what we'll be expecting from Apple in the coming months.
