Emagic, Apple and Proband ?

[_DAX_]

How many people actually purchase this from a dealer that isn't already an apple distributor? All the Pro Audio places I frequent are apple distributors. I don't buy that "Apple to dominate and control the music industry" BS. Besides of which, if you own an apple computer, doesn't apple already have your information from the registration of your computer. Come on!!! THis is a weak cry from a weak minority. Comparing Apple to Microsoft is an extreme analogy at best.

And personally Apple could call Logic Audio 7 "Poop in a box" if it fixed all the issues I and my clients have with it. Which is not to say it doesn't rock. it does, but there are some things in regards to using the DAE with it that don't rock, etc. etc.

And as far as domination is concerned. Apples has a long long long way to go before they can even touch digidesign. I doubt it is even possible considering how many studios have Pro Tools rigs in them, and how easy PT is to use. It's a pointless argument, about as pointless as non-apple distributors crying about losing logic.

"How many people actually purchase this from a dealer that isn't already an apple distributor?"

you should better ask how many people buy Logic from an authorised apple dealer.

then i would say: just a few.
i used to work in a pro audio store in wich we sold about 300 mac´s per year.
we had absoluty no chance to become a official authorized dealer.

and that should say all!!!

here in germany we have only about 10 pro audio stores which are authroized.
