Logic´s Flex Pitch = Cubase´s Vari Audio Logic Control iPad = Cubase iC Remote Controller iPad Smart Controls = Quick Controls new Retro Synth = Retrologue VSTi Synth Midi Plugins, Arpeggiator = Cubase has this since years Amp Designer, Drummer, new Loops = don´t care. I had enough vsti´s, libs…
7.5 with…fixed Mix Console/GUI!!!
and maybe…
“Multi-Instrument-Tracks”
and “Bounce-In-Place”
and “Drag/drop-to-Kontakt-Sampler”
and Halion 4 (or maybe 5), (+ The Grand, Orchestra)
(and all Steinberg´s Loop/Sample/Libs…?)
included!
Why not??
that would be fair and an adequately deal.
The competition is not sleeping - as we have seen today…
Logic Pro X does look nice but there are no real innovations as far as I can see. Most of the new features have been taken from things that Cubase and Digital Performer (the only other DAWs I know) have had for years. I’m not sure if the handling of multi-timbal instruments has improved at all.
If Steinberg would improve the new mixer and use a less crappy font for the Cubase 7 edit windows, I wouldn’t even think of getting the new Logic, but…
BTW I think it’s nonsense to compare the price of Logic to other professional DAWs - Apple can afford to sell it at a loss to force people into buying their hardware. I’m a Mac user but do like having the option of switching to PC.
how so? It’s $200 bucks to upgrade to Logic X. It’s $150->$200 to upgrade to Cubase. If you are talking about someone who is at ground zero without a DAW at all, then by that “logic” everyone needs to catch up with the times and buy Reaper.
I would think in the background, this is just MIDI triggering some samples (with accompanying fancy screen re-draws). I could be wrong of course and it could be, oh wait a minute, just like Steinberg’s GrooveAgent 3…! Real audio parts played, with a ‘complexity’ slider, fills, more/less hi-hat/toms etc, and a load of different styles (drummers…!) and kits to choose (mix-n-match)…!
But, they don’t have a percussion agent to go with it…
Also, no-ones yet pointed out that this is all 64bit ONLY - no more 32bit plugs allowed (no bridging facility). Interesting times…
Difference is… the Logic “dongle” actually serves a purpose.
Having Cubase tied to a cheap piece of plastic easily lost, stolen or damaged always has me looking to a more “portable” alternative. And Logic is getting closer to this vision every iteration…
Gotta love that you can download Logic X on ANY and ALL macs you own. (I hear 3rd-party plug-ins will be next for Mac app store treatment. Goodbye iLok nightmares!!)
im sorry steve but we are looking towards the future so why on earth would they want to base an apple mac program for the new beer barrel mac on a windows 95 thing ? (oohhhh hang on could it be because PC rules ) … slapped wrist !
I do admit that the drummer idea does look good but tacky
