Apple bougth Emagic in 2002 and since then development has been slow. I hope the next version is called Logic Pro 8 and not someother name. I think Apple needs to update the EXS24 Sampler, its old technology say compared to Native Instruments Koncept 2 Sampler which is 32bit. Perhaps Logic 8 will contain a new sampler, perhaps call it EXS32. I am a Logic user and I want Apple to continually development the program. I have one theory, the same software team is working on the projects. Logic has not been updated since Sept 2004, I think they have been spending time developing Garageband and Sountrack Pro 2. In comparison to other programs like Pro Tools, Digital Performer, Cubase, Logic's interface is beautiful, easy to read and looks cool. I loved the graphic style used by Emagic, I hope Apple continues to keep the cool style. In Logic 7, I liked the interface of Ultrabeat, but I did not like the boringness of Scuplture. In terms of interface looks, Logic to me looks better than Sountrack Pro 2 and I hope Logic 8 will be a massive update with lots of new instruments and audio fx.

And as Logic will be seeking total domination 1 up man ship, it may very well be bells and whistles from DAW heaven, with hopefully, some new and maybe even modular Reason Thor (me heart be still) type synths and psychotic effects to tempt the sonic nodules of extreme joy.

That is the factor that really makes Logic stand out from the other sequencers. Man, if they ditch the Logic environment I’m going to be pissed.

I'd bet that we will see a new Logic, with Waveburner and a sample editor from STP rolled right in. When, though? There is no real indication that it is at ALL soon.

I'm happy to wait and see what they come up with. And I'll bet my Power Mac the interface looks different from Logic 7.
