I suggest that the 4 previous Jam Packs are purchased regardless if you plan to upgrade or not. I bought the Jam Packs prior to getting the upgrade. I do not yet have the Vocals Jam Pack, but have used the others a ton. The Logic Studio upgrade from LE8 will be worth it eventually since the 4 Jam Packs have already been bought. I did a small review on the LE upgrade online as well. Logic Express 8.0 is definitely worth the $99 upgrade if you already have LE 7.2 or if you do not have Logic Pro.

In other words, there's no penalty for starting with Express and graduating to Studio if you're happy with the core application - I think it looks like a great option. Word from some Apple employee friends of mine is that Express sold out instantly. digg – the upgrade price from Express to Studio is the difference in price between the two – $300.

Yeah, that's especially good news as NI (evidently) discontinues their excellent vocoder Vokator, which is a sad development, indeed. Looking into that to see what's happened. Into every life, a little vocoding must shine. @Tom: Thanks for the tip!

I may start off with Logic Express 8, and see if it suits my needs, but then upgrade to Studio 8 if Express isn't sufficient. I can't seem to find any mentions of an upgrade path from Express 8 to Studio 8 - perhaps it's too early since they were just released? ;) Is there an upgrade path from Logix Express 8 to Logic Studio 8?

I wonder if this limit has been lifted in Express 8? No where in the new product data does it mention a track recording limitation. anyone know for sure?
