Hi Everyone, Just thought I would mention that Apple has posted the uprade (and the regular purchase options) for Logic Pro and Logic Express on the Apple Store (under Third- Party Software -> Audio. It has a 10-15 day shipping estimate. I just ordere my upgrade from Logic Platinum 6 for $199 (plus over night shipping of course :-) Even though I have all the Virtual Instruments, I am really looking forward to getting my hands on Space Designer :-) Happy shopping... Cheers, Scott

The only thing found by my search for "Logic" was the "Apple PRO Training Series: Logic 6". Just to get an idea of price comparisons I checked the prices for it at both sites: AU$85.95, US$44.95. At that rate the US199 Logic upgrade would be about AU$380.50, IF it ever appears on the Oz Apple site. Haven't tried to buy it from the U.S. site, so i don't know if Aussies are allowed to. Anyone?

I've had orders for new hardware slip and slip, but this bundle is hopefully much easier to put together than 17" Powerbooks.)

Hello, It seems that one has to buy the physical box for this upgrade, then? I was hoping that one could simply order the XSKey codes, a process which would presumably be more efficient. Also, does anyone know whether the upgrade will be available in the Apple Stores, or will one only be able to buy Logic Pro there at the full price? Best, 3

Well the the suhject says that doesn't it ;-)..or maybe "upgrade" and "update" just get mixed here,,,but yes you can order the 199 dollar update from Apple Store..that is if you happen to live in USA..the rest of the world will have to wait...

I was at the Apple Store in Detroit last week and asked the guys if they would be carrying the Logic Line (Logic Pro Express and Logic Pro 6) and they said that they hadn't been told yet. Given the attention that Apple has been giving this launch and given that it is a mulit- tiered product line (Garageband, Pro Express and Pro 6) it would only make sense that they would have it available in the stores.

I think he means the physical apple stores not apple.com. Btw I just ordered the plat/gold 5/6 upgrade to pro 6 and it says expect to ship on 2/24 -andy

Sorry to have been unclear. I was actually asking whether the update would be available in the "real-world" Apple Stores like the SoHo store here in New York. I'm just trying to estimate the fastest way to get one's hands on a copy, whether to order on-line and have it shipped at an unknown time or wait until the local Apple Store stocks the upgrade. Best, 3

now all we need to know is what the 'competitive upgrade' is going to cost so I we can dump DP and move on over :>)

According to my Sweetwater rep, there will be no competitive upgrade to Logic Pro. I plan on purchasing, but I'm waiting to see if this is true. Anyone else think this is bogus? Steve.

Anyone else think > this is bogus? > I don't know whether its bogus or not. But you might consider making the competitive upgrade right now. You can go to your local music software dealer that sells emagic products..and they do it there. It cost me about US$400 to do a competitive uprade to Logic. Then it will cost me another $199 to upgrade to Pro. So you're looking at $600-$650 range to make the switch from DP to Logic Pro.... Its not a cheap switch... But that is probably the wave of the future and its still less than buying it outright for $999. -steve

Every word I've heard about the Logic Pro update has said March would be the soonest it would be available. Is this Logic Pro Upgrade available now at the Apple stores? Can we get a definitive yes?

So $698 is retail price to cross grade to Logic Pro if you do what I did. However, my retailer took $50 off the crossgrade price without any effort at all( I didn't even have to ask for it..he just did)..I suppose I could have shopped around and got for even less with a a little more effort. I've heard of others paying less. Undoubtedly...to buy the full product it would be the same...might be able to take up to 10% off the retail price somewhere. That being said...the street price is probably either $600-$650 to crossgrade/upgrade in two steps...or maybe about $900 to buy it full later. Or perhaps Apple will come through with a cross grade price...but I can't imagine it being much less than $650. More than likely, I'd bet it would retail for $699, if at all, and you'd get it for $650 on the street. That's -IF- they even offer it. The main point is this.. If you wait..you might not even have the option to crossgrade. But what it would cost now to do what I did...is about what it would probably be if they were to offer a crossgrade later...so if you're ready to plunge..I'd say you're better off doing what I did...get the crossgrade ASAP...and then upgrade to Pro as soon as you're ready in a few months.

Can we > get a definitive yes? The Logic Pro 6 Upgrade (for Logic Platinum or Logic Gold users that own version 5 or 6), as well as the Full Version (for ANYONE), are both "available" in the Apple Store (i.e. ONLINE at www.apple.com) for $199 and $999, respectively. They are shipping in 10 - 15 BUSINESS days, i.e. REALLY close to March.... We still do not know what will be available at PHYSICAL Apple stores... nor do we know when. I personally assume that both versions will be available at the PHYSICAL Apple stores at about the same time that they will ship from Apple (i.e. if you order online now at www.apple.com). Is that definitive enough? ;-) Chris M.

Whether to believe that statement or not is the question... 3

UPDATE (for those so "concerned" about when it will come): I just checked my ORDER STATUS online at <<http://store.apple.com>>; and it says that my order for the Logic Pro 6 Upgrade is due to be SHIPPED "On or before 02/24/2004"..... I choose the two-day shipping, so that means I should have it "On or before 02/26/ 2004"....... ;-) We'll see!!!!! Chris M.

Apple said the same thing. The most recent upgrade was the educational/competitive upgrade to 6.0 and then to Pro. You save about $200 by doing this. The competitive upgrade is $499 and then $200 for the upgrade to Pro. Brian > > I'm a DP user too. According to my Sweetwater rep, there will > > be no competitive upgrade to Logic Pro.

I wonder if the Pro upgrade comes with the Logic 6 manual that they currently charge extra for - that would be a very nice gesture!

>Every word I've heard about the Logic Pro update has said March would >be the soonest it would be available. > >Is this Logic Pro Upgrade available now at the Apple stores?

However, I was told by an Apple rep that the software would not be available until late Feb early March (which probably means late March). The rep said that I could upgrade over the phone with Apple, but suggested I check my local dealer (he mentioned Guitar Center) since they would probably do the upgrade for a bit less. Since I am coming from Logic Dinosaur 4.81, my upgrade would be $699 at Apple, probably less at Guitar Center (although I am doubtful GC will upgrade for less). Dave

And that the Platinum competitive upgrade is no longer available (and indeed it has disappeared from their web site). However, just 20 minutes ago I bought it ("in stock, ships next day") from Zzounds for $499. (I've seen it for $399 in the past, but that was six months ago or more.) -- Ben __ Ben Cox <cox@...> http://www.djehuti.com

You aren't referring to the Apple Pro Series book that they have out now, are you??? A $36 gesture? ;-) Don't get me wrong, that would be nice, no doubt, but I seriously doubt that will happen.... and.............. I am hoping that this delay in the release of the product is because they now have a COMPLETE, book-style manual for Logic Pro 6, including COMPLETE documentation for ALL of the plug-ins, etc...... All in ONE SET.... And hopefully it has been professionally edited now, by native English speakers as well. We will see!!!! Chris M.

I did find the upgrade this time at the Apple Store. My order is placed......now......the for unbearable waiting. Ugh!

> good point...I wonder if the retailers are going to sell Logic Pro for > less than $999 list > tho.. :) Doubtful... Apple products are generally price-fixed (notice how Apple resellers compete with each other by the freebies they throw in, rather than by discounting the price of the product itself).

I just had a look and can't find it. Looked under 3rd party, music and audio, only lists the full version.

What would the cost be from logic 4 to the current version? If its $1,000 (full price), i will strongly consider making a platform/sequencer change.
