Emagic, Apple and Proband ?

In response to guest_guda.

It is my opinion that the crying is pointless because apple has a history of not caring about what any 3rd party has to cry about. be it distributors or software developers. Apple has always held a lot of control over their products, and now that Logic is an Apple product, why would they break the pattern? well, they wouldn't. If you can't get onboard with apple all the way, then you can't at all. They should have seen the writing on the wall.

I disagree with you about protools ahving less to do with logic than cubase or performer. Logics use and integration of the DAE has always outperformed DP's. Logic is also the only application that offers a bridge between the native tracks and TDM tracks. Logic has made a bid to compete for Pro Tools users attention all the way back to version 4.5. I am confused as to why you find this funny.

next, you think apple is a bigger hardware company than Dell or compaq or HP? I doubt it based on stock values, but haven't really looked into this myself, and regardless, just proves that an analogy comparing apple to microsoft is a stretch.

I'd love to know Where you got the statistic that less than 1% of apple purchasers register thier products. presumably more than 1% of people purchasing mac products need servicing in the first year, which you can't get unless you are or in the process become registered. As far as legal or illegal, I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me if apple bought emagic, they own everything emagic once did, meaning information too. I personally do not care that they have my name and address several times. less desirable companies seem to, why not someone I like?

Do you use Logic? Where did you buy it from? I have a hard time beleiving that the 40 music selling software companies in your town carried Logic to begin with. It's not exactly a microsoft product.

And finally, all of this aside, it just so happens that where I buy software from is also an apple dealer, and now that where I buy computers from sells logic and logic upgrades my places of purchase exand, not diminish. perhaps i am of a small demographic, either way, doesn't effect me.
