Does anyone have any idea if stores will get Logic Pro the same day they ship it from Apple.com? Should I just order it now and wait the 10 - 15 days or could I get it earlier by just gettin' it at the stores when it comes in? I'm impatient! :) Jude Bowerman

I ordered apple.com and it says 2/24, but I'm not holding my breath :) When it does ship know one can know whether it will be there the same day, but around the same time is likely, give or take a few days.

However you might save $50 by waiting a few extra weeks to see it at guitar Center or some other dealer..

The rep at Sweetwater told me that they would not get any shipments of LPro6 until mid to late March. Maybe Apple will ship to direct purchase customers before shipping to Music Distributors like Sweetwater, but I doubt it. Dave

Have you ever seen Final Cut Pro or Express sell for below Apples prices? Go check Audiomidi.com who have it listed for 199 just like Apple does. If audiomidi doesnt have it cheaper no one will. As far as Apple shipping on time.. Hmm my iLife arrived at 10am the day it came out. Hmm my Panther as well as Jaguar both arrived before noon the day they were supposed to ship. Hell I think I got Panther a day before everyone else did. Now if they run out of cds like the good old Logic 6 upgrade fiasco, then were in trouble, but Apple will still ship it on time.

Emagic Logic has always been obtainable for below-retail..but perhaps Apple is taking over enough to stop that forever. We'll soon find out.

Guitar Center told me they didn't know how they were going to handle the upgrade and couldn't quote me a price. Apple told me that the retailers (such as Guitar Center and Sam Ash) would probably discount LPro 6, but so far that hasn't been my experience. In any event, Sweetwater has free shipping on this item. Kind regards, Dave

That's often true but if they really are just making a consolidated package out of all the stuff that already exists in logic then there is no particular reason why they should not be able to ship it tomorrow if they want to. Right?

Not necessarily. A new manual could cause a hold-up. Secondly, there must be enough supply in the pipeline to support the huge number of requests that Apple will receive for the upgrade, which may take awhile to build up. Just think of all the shiny new dongles that upgraders from versions 4 and before will need. -Michele Hobbs

Although if you've been using Logic since v.4.81, you probably don't need it. JP __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
