Q: Will logic XI come out soon?

No

Bearing in mind there was a 5 year gap between LP9 and LPX....... so I'll guess 'No" too.....

As an aside.... Personally, unless you have a very good reason/need to upgrade to LPX, I'd stick with LP9 which is still the better performer overall.... preferably with OS X 10.6.8...

LP 9 is more stable in my opinion compared to LPX 

You couldn't pay me enough to go back to 9.

Me it's the other way around. Logic X should have initiated a convergence with Final Cut Pro X : just imagine what a music-oriented video editing system could achieve ! or more modestly how confortable it would be to sync the two using the same keyboard commands for similar functions  ! Instead LPX just adopted FCP's dark colour scheme, which can make sense when the center of attention is the viewer but is extremely tiring on the eyes (mine anyway) when you're working on a score or even an arrange page. And personally I need those 96 fully customisable colours. So I for one find Logic 9 nearly perfect but I hope that instead of wasting theur ressources on anti-ergonomic cosmetic changes and pseudo-simplification for a market who'll never use such a complex program anyway, the Apple dev tem will work on that FCP-LP fusion which is the Next Big Thing in creative apps as fas as I'm concerned.

I find the interface easier to view during long hours of work.  It is not an arbitrary scheme, but shown to reduce eye strain.  Those of us who have done film/video for years, studied color science, know this. 

XML round trip with FCPX is pretty flawless now.  So that is already taken care of.

Currently the price dropped down a lot, hopefully this implies the release of LP XI soon!

Huh?

Unless I missed something, Logic Pro X is the same price it has always been: $199.

Perhaps you are referring to the price of Logic Studio (which includes Logic Pro 9) as compared to the price of LPX?

When I finally got around to getting LP 9, they released 10 a week later. So, I still haven't downloaded 10. Now I want to upgrade, but don't want to make the same mistake and have 11 come any day now. Does anyone know when 11 will be released?

Probably tomorrow as a New Year's Eve surprise! 

cough...

What are you doing with LPX 9 ?

I think there will be no XI . I thing they will release next  update 10.2.5 0r 10.3

What am I doing with Logic Pro 9?

120 tracks and CPU not even hitting 50%. All the plugs for EQ etc I'd ever want. Fast and seamless operation, no crashes and making some great records. Running 10.6.8 too.

I sent the last project I mixed (120 tracks) to my friend running Logix X on a 32gig Ram i7 iMac with thunderbolt storage and it wouldn't even play back.

Each to their own though.

well said, but Drummer, Alchemy, Smart Controls, great new plug in GUI's........

just saying!

Ps, don't get me wrong; I was on version 5.5 when Apple took over Emagic, and I was on a PC! It took years until I got my first Mac, and I went from 5 to 9! The benefits from 9 to X are even greater and the learning curve nowhere near as steep.
