Anyway, end of story.

I think your RSS reader was not updating. The story was corrected within a couple of hours. There was never conflicting information in the same post.

Also, I qualified the original concern about the Environment by saying I was unable to get solid information. It was buried in technical specs.

In fact, the huge advantage of the Web is that we’re able to get more detailed information that isn’t included in press releases. What you’ll see in print is often a couple of sentences basically lifted from the press release. Logic won’t show up for a couple of months (at least for some publications), and there won’t be any information about the inclusion of the Environment either way. That’s not a criticism of print; I write for print, as well, and love both reading and writing for print publications — I have a magazine with me at lunch, not a computer. They’re different mediums, with different strengths and weaknesses.

The potential omission of the Environment was something I and others reacted to immediately. What you saw was that reaction — and the revelation that it is still in Logic — essentially in real time.

The one thing we can’t overcome, unfortunately, is RSS spewing out information after we’ve corrected it. But that’s why I published a separate post with the correction *in addition to* the correction in this item.

I of course try to get things right as often as possible, and I’m the first to admit this was a mistake. But I do take as much time as I can. And of course I appreciate people calling me out when I’ve got something wrong — it’s part of the whole reason I do this.

“The bad news (for Logic 7 ninjas): the Environment is a casualty.”

and then the following

“The Environment Lives! And to its naysayers, I’ll just have to call up Steve Horelick, get together with Logic 8, and put together a whole bunch of new tutorials demonstrating how cool this is.”

I am so sick of the blog mentality to just post anything that comes your way without really taking the time to make sure that the information that you are releasing as news to the public is correct.

This mentality is actually reinforced by choosing to post the correction “Logic’s Environment Lives in Logic 8!” as a new post without actually changing the original mistake.

We’re overfed. Tacky!

NI instruments (Guitar Rig, Reaktor, etc.) are very good about this sort of thing.

Lange gab es ja schon Gerücht zu Pro Logic 8, aber nun ist es da und es wird wohl für einigen Wirbel sorgen.

Die Musikproduktionssuite Logic Studio mit dem neuem Logic Pro 8 hat sich dem allgemeinem Applesoftwarelook angepasst und kommt in einer E…

check this out from the history of logic:
5.0: automation
5.01: es2, evoc20, dot;
5.1: logic control, multiple undo/redo, new evp88 models
5.2: evd6, multiple output instruments, monitoring w/ plugins
5.5: osx support.
all filed under logic5.

so i wouldnt jump to conclusions before .1 is out..
another (though fairly tragic) example is windows vista.

I never could quite figure out where those dialog boxes came from or what I was doing at the time…there was never ever any obvious moves I could recall, they never ever caused a crash or anything untoward…they would just appear and go away harmlessly…in all the years probably I experienced this only 6 or so times..It may well have been a bit of fun and perhaps a nod to Douglas Adams.

I wish Apple would release it again..if I recall, part of the Emagic deal was that Apple have ownership of the source code.

A real gem and brilliant sequencer especially once you started using the ABCD grids…almost 3 dimensional in the way you could structure stuff.

Oh well…the great grandson has been delivered so to speak, I think they have done a great bit of gardening with LS8, from everything I have found out about it so far…looks crisp, juicy and sweet….just like an apple should be.

Here’s hoping it’s no crab in the performance arena.;)
