The stock answer to the question 'What does it do?' has always been that it was 'designed to create backgrounds and sound effects of Final Cut Pro projects'.
The latter I understand - optical discs are no longer part of Apple's vision (DVD drives will soon disappear from Macs altogether and iDVD and DVD Pro are no longer in development) - but the disappearance of Soundtrack Pro is a tough one. It's only a 413MB download, but the library of loops, instruments and effects presets is accessible as an in-app download after installation.Īs a result of this huge price reduction, Logic Express is no longer a viable product and has been dropped, as have Soundtrack Pro and WaveBurner. Logic Pro 9.1.6 is available for purchase for the quite stunning price of £139.99 $199.99. To all the naysayers who stated that Logic Studio would never be available from the Mac App Store, we say 'Ha! You were wrong”. What does it all mean for the Logic musician?
Not only is Logic Studio now on sale at the Mac App Store, but its price has been massively cut, making Logic Express redundant.
