NAMM: Logic Update Coming

In an unusual move for Apple, company official have made a public statement about an upcoming release of Logic. Apple has also recently released a Logic 7.0.1 update which is available through Software Update.

A major focus of the future Logic update will be to include features added to version 2 of GarageBand and the ability to read GarageBand 2 projects. The ability to seamlessly take your project from GarageBand to the Logic family was cited as an important goal by Apple officials. The new features found in GarageBand 2 will be included in the update as well. This includes applying pitch and timing correction to entire audio tracks.

Another significant feature in the planned update for the Pro version of Logic is bus latency compensation to accommodate plug-ins that inherently introduce some latency.

Apple declined to state on exactly when the new update would be available, or what the version number would be. It will be available for a nominal charge.
