Apple’s New Logical Offerings
12 September, 2007 @ 12:07 pm by LioncourtApple released long awaited updates to its mid- and pro-level audio production tools this morning.
Logic Studio provides a suite of apps designed for professional audio production. At its heart is Logic Pro 8, which boasts a new, single-window interface and countless new features. Also included in the package is Soundtrack 2 and an all new application called Main Stage which allows physical controls to interact with much of the software’s backend, primarily for live performances.
Logic Express, meant for mid-level audio production, has seen a dramatic update as well, including incorperating many of Logic Studio’s new features.
Whether or not either package includes improved accessibility over its previous incarnations is unclear at this time. We should point out, however, that improved accessibility may not manifest itself until the upcoming Leopard release, as that update to the OS is schedule to be released next month.
If you have any information on the accessibility of these products with VoiceOver, please contact us. We will be contacting Apple for comment as well.
Logic Studio and Logic Express retail for $499 and $199 respectively.
