ProTools uploads to SoundCloud
Also, I believe it's the same eMagic brain trust behind Logic X so don't see any compromises on pro functionality. Will wait to judge as more thorough reviews come out, and I download for myself. Assuming L9 and LX can coexist on my machine.

Logic Express was dropped by Apple when Logic Pro 9 move to the MAS, though some copies were still hanging around in the shops.
With regards to affordability, Logic Pro in the MAS was actually cheaper than the boxed version of Express (in the UK).
They probably have. But if Apple don't include certain features, people would say that Logic Pro 'doesn't have xxxxx feature'. And when they do include it, people say 'Apple stole xxxxx from xxxxx'.
May I ask what you would have preferred they did?
The upload to Soundcloud is in almost every major DAW now (including the much revered Pro-Tools). The fact is, professionals are now using a number of cloud services to promote and share their work. PreSonus Studio One has SoundCloud and Nimbit export functionality, and I think Cubase has it well.
This has no bearing on an apps "professionalism" or target market. It's just a sign of the times.
Alright, after reading a bunch more, seems my initial reaction is unfounded. The only thing that really bugs me is no 32 bit AU support... I'll have to think about how much I'm willing to spend to upgrade AUs.
Did hell freeze over or did Apple actually learn from their previous mistake? ^_^
Call customer service and say you are a long term Apple customer, feel let down you bought the old version when the new one was right around the corner, and is there anything that can be done? Get a manager on the phone if necessary, and email Tim Cook. Apple is pretty good about trying to make you happy. I doubt it will give you your money back, but it probably will give you the new version.
I can't really blame them. DP and PT11 both dumped 32 bit support instead of doing a bit bridge, and it seems like users have generally been praising not having a buggy bit bridge (which doesn't make much sense to me since you don't have to use it).
For 32 bit plugins, Vienna Ensemble Pro is still an option for any DAW.
From Apple's page...
"Logic Pro supports OS X Core Audio, so you can choose the audio interface that best suits your needs. That includes top-of-the-line Thunderbolt solutions like the Apogee Symphony I/O connected via a ThunderBridge interface. It provides up to 64 channels of pristine, 192kHz/24-bit audio with ultra-low-latency performance without a PCI card."
Yup, they're aligning these to the new pro alright.

Just Great! Definitely easier to keep new software under wraps, than new hardware.
Maybe some of these will come alongside the release of the new MacPro?
Here's hoping for Aperture 4.0 or X, whatever they decide to call it.
It IS an updated version as opposed to a completely different app. FCX was totally different and didn't open sessions from earlier versions. LPX is a major update but still the same app (supposedly with no features removed) and still compatible.
One's real and one's virtual.
Seriously though, someone who bought 9 last week must pay $199 again now?
I'm sure you can call support and work something out. They'll probably give you a free download code for Logic Pro X. Apple is pretty flexible about these things. Same went for OSX. Just remember, be nice and calm on the phone and they'll help
You mean, gasp, people who make music like to share it? Who would have thought?!
