Apple Overhauling Logic to be a “Pro-Tools Killer”

Something we audio nerds see everyday; a new program that has a bunch of hype surrounding it, praising it to be the next “Pro-Tools Killer”. My guess is that Apple will end up making a Logic killer (PS, they’re the ones the bought Logic), but good on them for trying. (more…)

The wait between Cubase SX 3 and Cubase 4 was long, well over a year, but offers a new look, new effects, new instruments, new track types, and some huge new ways to actually use Cubase to make better music.
