I just read a short thread in the Logic Wish List basically asking Apple to come out with an update. ANY UPDATE. ANY signs that there is life (and NOT iLife, snark snark,) within the halls of Apple for their one pro audio app.
And I know I'm entering a flame-circle here but I don't care.
Enough is enough already. Apple needs to step up if only to make a few feature improvements and a few bug-fixes to let the user base know that
SOMETHING is going on there for us LUG'ers... Perhaps Apple could do something simple every few months and say, release small EXS sample packs or the top 10 user-submitted Logic synth patches or the like.
Anything to show there is a pulse in Cuppertino, Ca.
Ok, I can sense the Flamers getting ready to fire. BRING IT.
Tell me how "this is the way Apple always has been with Logic" and "Logic works GREAT, it needs NO improvements," or "Quit yer bitchin', if ya don't like it, use something else!!" or, "Apple doesn't care, they make iPhones now!"
But while there might be a nugget of truth in these comments, they are just not constructive. Why do most of you complacently drink the Apple CoolAid? :eeek:
Pro Audio apps need (as ANY computer software does,) some sort of bug-fixes/ up-dates/ improvements to work well with the hardware they run on.
Case in Point: last night my auto-update for my antique Microsoft Word 2004 fired up! Version 11.4.x loaded to my old PowerBook while I ate dinner.
That program is about 5 years old but it still (apparently) gets updates!!
I thought it was amusing that it gets updated but Logic does not.
Also there is the competitive factor. Other programs are doing things that Logic cannot do well. Is this a big deal? Well, it depends...
I have many friends who use Pro Tools for everything they do and was impressed with how DigiDesign /Avid has stepped up to make PT more Logic-like with lots of new software synths and plug-ins. And their time-stretching program seemed pretty cool as well.
Bottom line is that there is GROWTH with PT; a sense that they are trying to build a competitive audio program to trounce their competition. To me, that's great. It's an example of a company listening to their user-base and attempting to release their program that is diverse and to broaden their base.
None of us Logic Users can claim to embrace that feeling from Apple.
I think they should just sell Logic back to the private sector. Let a small company take it who has everything to loose with its failure but everything to gain with it's success. Logic would be a vibrant evolving product that would have an expanding user-base and competitive development.
So... Bring on the deluge telling me how wrong I am. GO!
