PRESS RELEASE

New Logic Line and Plug-Ins Previewed

January 14, 2004

A new sight for this year's Winter NAMM show will be an Apple-branded booth. With the acquisition of Emagic and the recent announcement of GarageBand, Apple is making a major push in the area of music production and Winter NAMM is a pretty essential event to make your presence known. And Emagic has some good stuff in store.

We will have full details soon, but for now we can tell you that there are some big changes coming for the Logic range of products. The line is being reorganized into two products: Logic Express, offering 96kHz audio support and retailing for $299, and Logic Pro, which will reportedly be a complete bundle of all Emagic software products, including instruments and effects. The retail price for Logic Pro will be $999 - that's right, just under a grand.

We also plan to bring you details on two new Emagic creations unveiled for the first time: Guitar Amp and Sculpture. The purpose of Guitar Amp should be obvious. It lets you choose different amplifier, EQ and speaker models to build your own virtual rig, plus you can choose between on- or off-axis mic placement, and use either a virtual condenser or dynamic mic. Sculpture is a new synthesizer based on physical modeling with lots of real-time control. The user interface may appear a bit daunting, but the sounds it produces are quite impressive.

In other Apple news, version 1.2 of Soundtrack has been announced, with one of the most significant changes being the price tag. Apple is lowering the price to $199 with the new release.
