Apple Pulls Logic Crossgrade

[MacRumors]

Some readers have noted that Apple has pulled the Logic 7.2 crossgrade from its Online store. This has lead to speculation that the rumored Logic 8 (perhaps revamped (page 2)) may indeed be released this week at MusikMesse in Frankfurt, Germany.

Logic 7.2, a universal version of Logic, was released in February 2006. The last major release of Logic was back in September 2004 when Logic 7 Pro and Express were introduced.

yeah i think this means that a new Logic is coming soon......maybe tomorrow?

 

[Reach]

Please please, give me!
I'm really hoping it will come soon, but nothing concrete about it yet, so who knows.. Well, this is kinda concrete, so let's hope!

 

[4God]

Well, its about time!

 

[longofest]

Note that besides the fact that the crossgrade has been pulled, we really don't have any reliable sources on Logic development, so pinning any dates is really speculation off of very unreliable sources.

And you know how much we like speculation

Sorry, off topic but I thought it should be noted:
They pulled the crossgrade for Final Cut Studio as well. The links
that are there take you to the product info page. The links on
that page are gone.

Edit: Probably this is expected though, after all NAB is a few weeks away
plus those invites told a lot as well.

Final Cut Crossgrade also removed

Apple has also removed the Final Cut crossgrade. You can verify this by looking at the Google cache of the Final Cut Studio Page (as of this writing it was last crawled on March 21, 2007).

Google Cache of Final Cut Studio Page

Scroll to the bottom and you'll be able to see "Crossgrade". The current page no longer shows crossgrade. Note that you can still view and download the PDF file but note that the promotion ended on March 19, 2007.

Great news indeed - my order is in! This is a wonderful, having so many great things emerge in one time period.

Well, at least we can begin to "see the light" as they become closer to our reach.

It's about damn time.

I guess the only thing to do now is to determine by how much this new Logic will beat (or, 'kill', if you'd like) ProTools, right?

 

[iJawn108]

Isn't the rumor that there won't be a new logic 8? That there is going to be a completely new app for it?

Yes, that is the (One of them I should say) rumor, but until we know what it's called, "Logic 8" is the natural "codename" for it.

Logic X

 

[peletrane]

So, if there's going to be a brand NEW program to essentially replace Logic, does this mean that we would have to shell out the full retail price and not the standard upgrade, for those of us who paid the full retail price for 6.0 and then upgraded to 7.0??

Haha sorry, no chance

 

[Edge100]

Haha sorry, no chance

I wasn't commenting on whether or not this alleged new Logic will beat PT (it certainly wont, without the appropriate hardware), but rather than it is the tendancy of many people on these boards to immediately react with something along the lines of:

"Kewl! Apple's releasing a ProTools killer. Bring it on!"

 

[Mr Skills]

Well the new Apogee really low latency PCI thingumabob* is certainly a step in the right direction.

*can you tell I'm a pro?

[aafuss1]

I don't want to see Logic Express killed off-leaving only a pro version.

 

[Jarcrew]

I doubt they'll kill it off - and in the unlikely event that they did, I wouldn't be surprised to see Logic Express taken under the wing of Garageband and bundled with iLife in Leopard.

Logic 8

Has anyone else noticed that tomorrow is TUESDAY??

Logic 8, let it be true, let it be Leopard ready, and above all, let my bank account be healthy......oh...sh** , perhaps not the bank account then.....
Oh well, I'll wait until 8.1

So what does that mean for STP owners? No more upgrade to FCS? Or will they have a new deal?

STP? Excuse my ignorance or lack of knowledge, but what is that?
