Yeah, other than subscription fatigue I don’t see how anyone can be upset about this.
Especially if you are in education or going to school, $2.99 a month for access to logic pro? I mean, come on. Has there ever been a better deal than that? GarageBand used to cost more, iLife used to be $99 for every yearly update.
Add the education rate of $30 a year, it would take you 10 years to even reach what FinalCut costs on its own.
And you get access to the iPad version, and you get all of the apps included, and you get family sharing with up to six people… and the standalone purchase options are still available?
I mean, if Apple had to go the subscription way, at least they’ve done it the right way. It’s not required, it’s not overly expensive, and it is a real value.
Let’s not forget that in the 2000s FinalCut Pro was $1000 on its own and every time a major update came out you had to purchase it once again.
Sometimes I think people are just so blinded by the Internet rage echo chamber that they forget how good we really have it these days. I mean, being able to get a full completely intact pro digital audio workstation, the same one used by actual professionals in the business, for the same price of one coffee a month?
Just 30 years ago a set up like that would cost not just thousands of dollars, but hundreds of thousands of dollars.
