Amazon had similar situations before with a book about logic, describing a new version, but turned out to be just a re-print of the current version.
I can't quite remember the details, but this sounded so familiar. What if Logic just is a little low on stock, and Apple is currently just printing new DVD's en boxes for the next batch of Logic Pro 7 boxes to be distributed....
If it is indeed Logic 8, then that would be great news for the music community, an updated interface, some old quirks and bugs removed, but I hope that they will do it such, that all the current plug ins remain working, and not having to upgrade every single one yet again, that is the part I hate the most... heck there are still older plug ins that I use , for which I resort to logic 6 pro when I want to use them....
Anyway, Apple does still concentrate a little on music, as Garageband was updated as part of the new iLife 08, so I hope that the team working on that, was given enough time to develop new stuff for Logic, and I hope that some of the great new features found in the latest version of Soundtrack, will make it into Logic too.
