[...] direct references to the iPhone – would be interesting to read a head to head review of the two. Create Digital Music has a post about Garageband’s new guitar amp modeling and effects pedals. They also speculate on [...]

I don’t have GarageBand 09, so this is only speculation, but wouldn’t it be possible to get the guitar tracks w/ effects from GB to Logic through Rewire? As for a new version of Logic, I would expect it to come out with Snow Leopard, since Apple pro applications (Logic, Final Cut, Aperture) would make a great showcase for the benefits of a 64 bits operating system, and there would be few other applications taking advantage of the new platform from the start.

Definitely excited about the new lessons feature since I’ve been looking to improve my piano chops. I took a look at some demo movies and they seem to be pretty high quality in terms of both content and presentation.

this is timely that all this is happening on CDM. i always wanted to learn how to play guitar properly instead of playing a guitar like a bass guitar.
i’ve been debating getting a tube pedal to my soundcard or going straight into the PC and using VST’s.
the decision of what i get will ultimately lies in how fast i learn and if i’m going to practice and then play live or practice and record things.

@Books&Backpacks – a popular magazine i have did a guitar effects showdown and recommended the Novation Plug-in FX Suite for people new to guitar effects.

i think for my own use I’m going to have to do my own audio FX shoot out.

Most guitarists don’t actually mic a 4X12 cab live rig turned up to eleven for a studio recording.

These programs seem more about pretending to be as many different pieces of expensive gear as possible without ever sounding particularly good.

The developers don’t seem to have the guts to make an “Amplitude” brand guitar amp which becomes something decent and independent unto itself.

I’d like to see more honest exploration of thing to do with a guitar’s clean tone direct. I prefer a tube preamp pedal with an analog distortion straight into my soundcard over any of these sims.

This sound is quite warm, live, and reminiscent of the huge sound you get from miking a smaller tube amp, what many guitar players actually do in the studio anyway.

Well, they sound good. I think Eleven, Guitar Rig, AmpliTube, any of that lot will give you more choices (in model variety), more control, actual MIDI control, and more tools (tuners, loopers, etc.) — there’s not really much comparison here. Think of this as icing.

Does anybody have an opinion on how these new amp and effect models stack up against Digidesign’s Eleven?

So I’m assuming the new Logic version is on the way. :)

I say that because the great Logic Pro teacher Steve Horelick from macProVideo.com said on his blog-

“Martin and JF and I are at the NAMM show in California…

I was hoping that Apple was going to announce a Logic rev, but, alas, I was disappointed. Had they announced a new release I was going to surprise you with some cool new tutorials about the new rev!”

I normally wouldn’t put much stock in comments like these but, Steve has demonstrated in the past that he has some great “connections” and it sounds like he already shot video for his monthly Tips ‘n Tricks tutorial.

Looking forward to Logic 9(?) in any case. It will also be interesting to see what new performance enhancements “Snow Leopard” will bring to the party later this year.
