I was hoping for NI honestly. Still I will be able to use their new stuff on my Macbook so its not a total loss though whatever they release will have to be really special to justify that restriction.

If it is true I suspect it'll become tech incorporated into Logic rather than a standalone product.

Yeah, remember that tweet from the Audio Damage guy that read along the lines of "Camel Audio has been acquired by you know who and will be rolled into you know what"

I don't think it's bad news and we better get used to it as this will be the shape of things to come;

All the daws basically do the same shit so what sets them apart now? It's the plugins, and Logic has made a concerted effort to up their game, including the new trackstacks, new instruments, legacy instruments, new EQ etc.

Also, when you think of the funds that Apple or Steinberg have, it's no issue for them to buy up even a large plugin brand.

I wonder if NI will come next....

If that happened I pretty much would switch to Mac / Logic and not look back. However, I don't think it is very likely because Apple already acquired Redmatica for sampling functionality and Camel Audio for synthesis.

True, but don't be so sure; apple has the funds to buy NI without even blinking but in some respects one of the attractive things to them would be making NI products Mac only. They know this and judging by your sentiments, if they did make NI mac only and then you factor in Camel and all the other plugs that Logic has, it would basically make all the other daws look like expensive limited toys.

I'm glad because at one point it looked like apple were going to sideline Logic - there was a gap of 4 years between 9 and X, and now it seems they've made it a priority once again.

Has anyone looked at Logic's new compressor gui's, i fancy them.
