For sure. And the added 5000.- price tag will swipe this forum clean of all the newbs who already are desparately seeking for the Play button but for some inexplicable reason sneer at Garageband. Nice move. Add to that a mandatory serial registration to the forum and I'm in.

Ha... you've been on a roll lately.

pancenter-

Logic Pro is an elite piece of audio production software unlike iLife and Garabeband. Apple is not treating it this way by not requiring mandatory serial registration to this forum. there could at least be a dongle required for one Logic Pro license as before and in addition have a second online login authorization like the licenses you receive with Propellerheads Record when you are not using the dongle as long as you have an internet connection.

the 64 bit bridge was unstable at the release of 64-bit Logic 9.1 when it was released at NAMM and it still is unstable now at version 9.1.3 a year later, as well as the core audio engine still needs a major rewrite.

But with DP and PT not running 64 bit AT ALL, Logic still offers more in the 64 bit realm than they do. Cubase just now released a 64 bit version, haven't heard yet how well it runs or how it bridges 32 bit plugins.

And please, not back to the dongle or other similar nonsense.

I agree that Logic offers more in the 64 bit realm than Cubase, DP or PT and with this elite status for audio software is why there needs to at least be a dongle required for one Logic Pro license as before and in addition have a second online login authorization like the licenses you receive with Propellerheads Record when you are not using the dongle as long as you have an internet connection. Cubase has a dongle so why shouldn't Logic have dongle and online login authorization since it offers more in the 64 bit realm than Cubase?

Im confused by all the talk of dongles and locking out newbies and all that -I mean whats the point? If you want exclusivity join a club -or buy a 20K protools rig. I for one hate dongles.

Exactly, drobinsondn - add the dongle to Christian's wish list and we'll all be deliriously happy.

I have to say, it's bizarre to have a developer get rid of the dongle and then have a few users beg for it to come back. It's like we're in the twilight zone.

I HATE dongles.

If they require drivers, they add yet another level of things to look out for in terms of compatibility, conflicts, and breakage.

If they don't, you happen to have misplaced it or left it at home, or in the other jacket pocket, or outright lost it, which means you're out a $5000 set of licenses and simply cannot work until you've jerked around the paperwork necessary to get new ones for your new dongle, if at all possible.

For laptop users, dongles are
-yet another USB port used up (or three), with
-yet another strain lever on the USB jack with yet another risk of requiring a new main logic board if the strain eventually causes the port to fail (happened with Firewire on my current MacBook - it's getting kind of iffy, but I'm nursing it along until the new generation of MBP's).
-Also, the joy of putting the machine to sleep, pulling out the dongle and having Logic quit on you.

Just gah.

I understand the sentiment, and I understand christian, and I have no problem with professional tools commanding professional budgets (but then please coming with professional tech support), but Apple's bottom line is selling computers.

The idea is that if you're using Logic, you've already got the dongle, and it's one that actually produces numbers of business interest: computers sold.

Selling a million copies of Logic at $500, and having five million copies pirated, running on six million machines, nets Apple a LOT more cash than selling 10,000 copies at $5000, the way it used to be.

Simple.

And to be honest: I don't care, as long as the product works and does what I need it to in a way I can and want to deal with.

And I've never been happier with Logic than in 9 (user since 4.8.1).

The style of mr. "Hear-truth" is awfully familiar guys... !

I suggest they integrate CreamWare SCOPE for vague and irrelevant reasons. I'll post OS compatibility info for Windows versions once I search my inbox for the e-mail informing me of audioveritas' post about it in this thread.

#11) I would like to see Logic Pro work with Ambient or Deneke to get the internal midi timecode clocking system to chase and generate smpte 23.976fps so Logic can multitrack record HD programing in the field.

"The idea is that if you're using Logic, you've already got the dongle, and it's one that actually produces numbers of business interest: computers sold."

diga, I repeat, validating legal ownership of Logic Professional software will weed out non-pros, cons, and pirates that need troubleshooting or assistance with their cracked software on this forum now and into the future. by only purchasing the hardware dongle the Apple Mac computer or building a hackintosh should not allow Logic Pro user community registration or viewing even partial threads or thread summaries like image-line allows unless Apple truly places no value for their intellectual property or trademark.

It would also require a completely separate registration system for the Logic Studio forums, cordoned off from the entire rest of the Apple Support site, AND it would also weed out any pros, ambitious hobbyists, or otherwise interested parties who might have questions that could LEAD to the purchase of said software package.

Also, how would requiring a serial number here weed out any of those people? Logic itself requires a serial number. That ain't stopping anybody?

"or otherwise interested parties who might have questions that could LEAD to the purchase of said software package. "

this is why Apple needs to devise time restricted demos for Logic Pro available for any interested parties who might have questions that could LEAD to the purchase of said software package.

also, there needs to be tangible manuals included with any future purchase of Logic Pro or Logic Studio retail unless Logic Studio will be only available in the future with the ios cloud os as a direct download then a digital .pdf or online manual is acceptable.

Yeah - this is all stuff that was discussed on this forum some time ago, but I'm prepared to put my neck on the line and hazard a guess that people are generally happy enough with the online manual now (it was bad to begin with, but they must have taken notice of some kind of feedback eventually).
