New Logic Studio

[stanton119]

Logic Pro has just been updated to Logic Studio: a collection of programmes that includes logic pro 8 all the jam packs. Theres also a new logic express which includes the best plug-ins from logic pro - doesnt seem like cut down versions. And they both seem much cheaper. Logic pro 7 was £700 - but logic studio is £320...

The new Logic does look great, I think you get about 20gb
of loops and surround beds as well.
Absolute bargain for £129, and no XS key to lose!

So what happens if I buy this from the US - will I be paying 150 quid? And will I get taxed - if that's the full package for $320 that is unbeleivable value... I just got Ableton Live 5 which is amazing but I'd still like to get Logic - and combine them both...

Any thoughts gents?

The £129 is the upgrade from Logic Pro7. The full
retail is £329 a huge price cut from Pro7 which
was around £599.

Yeah ace! My only question is - where do I get it from? I did some googling last night and couldn't fomd anywhere aprt from the Apple store that was selling it - maybe I'll pay them a visit in London - or just wait a few months until it's on Ebay on a 'buy now' thing - they are normally legit and at least a third off.

Thanks again for flagging this up

I just paid 625 for logic pro7, i will qualify for the free upgrade, but still slightly annoyed!!!

Urb, it will probably take a few days for it to filter through the the Resellers, apparent the london Apple store has the full vers, but sold out of the upgrades quite quickly.

Thanks G77 - you have my sympathies - I can't shell out for this now but £350 is still save-up-able - I'd be happy to buy it new as well for that price.

The price cut probably has something to do with the mac only compatability... pro-tools will be getting more attention on the pc nowadays. My program of choice personally but im gutted i cant have logic at home.

Logic, IMHO, has long been due an overhaul. The layout makes no sense at all for major production jobs. For a composition tool its brilliant and i look forward to checking out version 8 but to be honest - its Pro Tools all the way here.

its such a tough cookie what with apple trying to dominate the market with logic (you cant deny thats what theyre trying to do with such a cheap package of amazing software!) and with the protools hardware issues that dominate PC based DAW's. I personally use Steinberg Nuendo, as I'm PC based but refuse to shell out for protools hardware, and would rather use MOTU a/d units.
