Logic Studio arrives tomorrow! I can't wait!

[krye]

My birthday was on the 5th. So my wife threw my $500 bucks to pick up Logic Studio. I was sooo happy. I found it on AVAlive.com for $405. So I put the other $95 bucks towards other Mac accessories. Anyway, it turns out that AVAlive.com drop-ships from Apple. So I was told that it could take up to 2 weeks to get my order. Bummer. It would have been nice to get it on my birthday, but whatever, I just saved about a $100 bucks!

Anyway, here we are less than a week later, and much to my surprise I just got an email with a UPS tracking number with a delivery date of tomorrow!

I can't wait! This is going to be awesome!

Anyone else out there been this psyched about Logic Studio?

i remember when my logic express was on its way, i was pretty psyched.

tbh, i couldn't wait to ditch the PC. i was only using it for cubase!

will Apple ever lower the price of Logic Studio? I would really like to use it, but $500 is way too much for me to spend on software.

It came! It's awesome. I can't believe the documentation that they provide. That's worth the $500 alone. I didn't get to install it until pretty late so although it's installed, I didn't get a chance to actually fire it up.

I put up a little thing on my website with some unboxing photos.

Logic Studio is already hugely discounted compared to the older versions of Logic. I highly doubt Apple will make it any cheaper any time soon.

How much was Logic before?

I don't remember now, but I seem to recall Logic being more expensive to begin with, plus all the sampler plugins, synth, and the space designer plugins etc (a total of at least 3000 bucks) were sold separately.
We're talking about a professional audio app here. It will never get much cheaper, not for a long while anyway.

check out logic express.

i'm not trying to be a stickler or anything, but Logic Studio is pretty well priced as it is. it has quality that CAN (sometimes) compete with stuff like protools which can run into well over $1000.

I had an academic version of 5 in college, bought 7 (logic ONLY by the way) for $1000, and then upgraded for $200 to 8 Studio.

If it is too expensive for you, you do not need it...

Back on topic, I hope you have a blast! It is a hugely powerful suite for a great price!
