Mitch Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 If you were looking at purchasing logic, you may want to jump in to get a boxed version if you don't have good internet to download it, or hold out because it will most likely be cheaper on the app store.Taken from:http://www.macrumors.com/2011/12/08/log ... continued/Apple today issued a notice to resellers announcing that it has discontinued the boxed versions of its Logic Studio and Logic Express audio software packages effectively immediately, also announcing that the Logic Pro 9 and MainStage 2 components will be moving to the Mac App Store for distribution. It does not appear that Apple will be offering the Soundtrack Pro 3 component of Logic Studio via the Mac App Store. A report from early September had claimed that Apple was finishing up work on Logic Pro X. The report also indicated that Soundtrack Pro would be discontinued as part of the update as it was with Final Cut update to Final Cut Pro X. Today's notice to resellers specifically refers to "new" Logic Pro 9 and MainStage 2 coming to the Mac App Store, but it seems odd that Apple would simply move those apps to the Mac App Store while discontinuing Logic Express and Soundtrack Pro and without releasing more substantial updates to Logic Pro and MainStage to address the reworked packages. Pricing for the Mac App Store versions of Logic Pro and MainStage remains unknown, but it seems reasonable to speculate that they may see a significant reduction from the current $499 Logic Studio price given Apple's price drops on its Final Cut Pro software when it moved to the Mac App Store and the discontinuation of Logic Express ($199).

LabRat Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 That will be a massive download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 It's only about 4-500mb for logic itself,All the extra content (19gb worth) is optional in-app download after you get logic, so you just DL the program, then only dl the extra content that you will use i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
