Although next week’s Apple event on September 5th will definitely bring in new iPods, there’s the possibility that they’ll introduce the new Logic/Apple DAW.
I’m skeptical because Logic 7 had no fanfare, and why would Apple want to talk about Pro software during a consumer announcement? Maybe Logic will get a little square at the bottom [...]

The Props have added a timer to the top of their page. As I write this, Reason 4 is expected to drop in 27 days, 10 hours, 13 minutes and 9 seconds, er 4 seconds.

Live LE looks to be a light edition of Ableton Live. It’s basically the same software with some restrictions. Audio inputs are limited in LE, as are the number of Ableton MIDI instruments, and more.

In the letters section of the September 2007 Electronic Musician, a reader writes about Logic Pro’s Export Audio To Movie command and how it doesn’t work on Intel Macs.

Here are a few Logic 8 rumor nuggets floating around that I didn’t think were worth mentioning in the earlier post since I think they’re dead wrong. Most of these have come from anonymous comments from this blog, or anonymous posts from various forums.
