I think Apple would do good to start a blog.
On this blog, discuss current projects, what might becoming in the future, etc.
It would definitely put at ease people who think their favorite product is no longer being supported. In my particular case, I'd love to hear an update on how the development of the next Mac Pro is going, if it's even going at all.
Too much secrecy can be bad too. There needs to be a balance somewhere between complete silence and telling all.
Ruffus you are very very lucky. It's a terrible problem for the folks that have it. I have it occurring on my mid 2012 Mac Pro with 28 GB of memory and SSD drive.
I'm sure I could google it, but I'm curious what is laggy? UI? Maybe it's a graphics issue. The rMBP has pretty amazing graphics capabilities so that might be it. I'm just using a USB 3 HD for audio. SSD for system.
Oh my i cant even express my anticipation/excitement for the next Logic.
I see Logic is now $199. When did that happen? I paid $500 a few years ago. Wasn't it $1000 at one point?

For starters, when I hit record there is a delay of a few seconds. Something I never had before Mountain Lion.
I've wondered about this too. But we were already paying $299 to upgrade Logic when it was boxed, which is what it's now selling for in the App Store.How will this be handled if you purchased through the App Store? Just have to purchase the entire version as a new piece of software? They really need a paid upgrade mechanism for the App Store.
Didn't they recently just purchase an Italian DAW Developer?
Last time they were "hard at work" for a long time we ended up with the Final Cut Pro X debacle... Let's hope things turn out a little better this time.
As much as I'd like to see Logic Pro X -
what about Aperture? IMO the much more pressing matter...

Logic X will probably be a slightly enhanced version of Garageband targeted toward prosumers and sold on the App Store for $39.99.

As for an iPad/iPhone interface... I'm not sure why this wasn't offered in 2007. It's a no brainer that would make Logic users buy iDevices, and iDevice users buy Logic.
TouchOSC and the others are pretty great, but Apple should make a perfectly integrated solution.
Just turn it on and everything has two way communication. Even audio.
Imagine editing on the livingroom couch or dinner table with headphones while your Mac Pro is providing the horsepower.
Also innovative touch screen editing that can't be done with a mouse. Bring it on!!!
No mention of the fact that Logic Pro suffers crippling lag issues with Lion and mostly Mountain Lion... grrr.... I know they are working hard to fix it, but it seems daunting sometimes.

[/COLOR]I love the look and feel of FCPX. I really hope LPX gets a similar treatment.
I'm guessing that the LPX upgrade won't be huge but will change so that it almost looks like you could easily touch every feature. Looking at iTunes 11 and FCPX leads me to believe that we're going to see Pro Audio and Video iOS apps within the next 18 months.
The UI will be as similar as can be feasibly done across OS X and iOS versions.
Cubase 7 releases on December 5th.

hard to see how Logic X will top it.
I've moved back to Win/Cubase this year after sadly resigning to the fact that Apple's focus is now on consumers/IOS/iMacs rather than on its pro users.
