Unlike some, it seems, I don't see that I have the authority to speak for anyone apart from myself. I am certain that there are many others like me but I would not be so vain as to think that I can speak for them without their permission.
Well, if that is how you want to position yourself, the Mac is also supposed to be a great graphics machine but it does not come with a tablet or a multi-button mouse with a scroll and many do not even come with a program you can design in. "If you're going to bill the mac as a machine that's great for (graphics), it should at least be able to provide SOME sort of (graphic ability) out of the box. People like you just want want want but play it off as if everything you want the machine to have is what is should have.
Would be nice but I think Apple is building too good a relationship with DigiDesign though their aquiring of Emagic to want to release an iApp.
Then again:
1) an iApp is only consumer and DigiDesign is more Pro focus; and
2) look at Adobe... Apple got all friendly with them and then gave them a kick in the ass.
Once again I point out that one really should not speak for everyone without prior permission to do so.
I also point out a flaw in your arguement... people buy Macs expecting a great audio computer so you want a low quality input added.
Also, if someone needs/wants a line in and they buy a Mac WITHOUT first checking that is has that port... it is really their own fault if they get upset.
i'm wondering if iMovie has created a demand for FCP. if so, perhaps iSound (or whatever) would get people interested in Logic.
your statement is true, but i'd counter that Logic competes more w/ ProTools than any iApp would.
that said, i'd counter my own statement by pointing out that Logic has much more focus on the midi studio than ProTools does.
Now -- in my mind, the real battle has to do w/ plug-in format. apple will be pushing its audio units, whereas Digidesign has two of its own (how dumb of them to have one for consumer and one for pro -- that crap has got to stop).
so by releasing an iApp, apple can push its own plug-in format. what better way to penetrate that market than by making it free?
yes it should.
nothing at all. if you want a good sound set-up for less than a bucket load of money than the digi001 is great. it will soon (may already have) OS X support through ProTools 6.
the olny problem with it is that it doesnt have a controllable mixer attached. oh well. cant have everything.

so thats whyh my new pmac costs a few hundred dlooars more than the previous model. thanx!!
I'd have to say yes. I've seen quite a few "noobs" on editing forums asking Qs and making the transition from iMovie to FCP.

I find the quality of video of iMovie REALLY bad. I would be happy to use iMovie all the time when I just want to make something dead simple instead of mucking around in FCP is the quality was ok.
