I've heard this rumor too from a friend of a beta tester.....and believe 
there's a good chance that's the way it will happen. There's one major
problem 
with this approach however- you'd no longer be able to assemble CDs on a 
machine running seperate from Logic.

This makes about as much sense as including DVDPro2 with Final 
Cut.....they're both "video" applications right?

Assembling and mastering a CD from finished stereo files is a TOTALLY 
different process from what happens in Logic. Yes, there is some crossover
(ie 
shared plug-ins), but in many facilities entirely different people, machines
and 
rooms are involved.

If Waveburner is included into Logic 7 those of us using it on seperate 
machines would then have to buy a $1000 program just for the CD mastering
portion. 
Apple if you want to be the choice of high end audio people, give us an 
equivalent of DVDPro for CD mastering. Make it the hands down best software
for 
the job.

Put a souped up version of iTunes into LogicExpress and Logic.....but also 
give us a serious mastering program.

>I think it's *really* bad policy on the part of Apple/Emagic to leave 
Waveburner and SoundDiver for
so long. Existing paid customers have been effectively dropped.

I completely agree. They promised me over a year and half ago an OSX 
version was very close (in fact, someone I won't name promised they would
"work 
something out" for an upgrade to OSX when I bought my third license of
Waveburner, 
since I was concerned the OSX version HAD to be right around the corner).

Something is wrong with Apple killing OS9 boot on new machines (which in and

of itself I don't have a problem with)....and yet owning a company that has 
software that still doesn't run on OSX.
