Winer NAMM Show
2008Winer NAMM Show
2008Apple didn't have a floor booth, they had an appointment only dealer
room upstairs...... Logic 8 was used at most 3rd party booths, ie Spectrasonics,
Euphonics, Apogee, etc. Some reps, etc from Apple were there but it was
odd not to see the Logic 8 demo by Phil Jackson (he was there but was doing
the Pro Tools LE demo showing eslatic time). To know more about the new
Logic 8 or to buy it click here.
While Apple was at the NAMM Show they didn't have any new products etc that weren't already available. You can check out our previous NAMM Videos. They contain some great info and interesting ideas.
No longer Emagic, it's now Apple and Logic Pro 7 is the flagship. Now there's more effects inclding Guitar Amp Pro, a larger EXS library, Ultrabeat, Sculpture and Apple Loops We sat down and watched the demos so you can too.To purchase Apple's Logic Pro 7 Click Here

Apple/Emagic also was showing off Sound Track and GarageBand. For more info see Apple's web site. The big news was Logic Pro Preview.
There are several new additions that were being shown: Soundtrack Looping
features (called Apple Loops) are being added to Logic, Guitar Amp, a new
guitar simm plugin , Ultrabeat a new drum module and Sculpture a new modeling
synth. Also there are some new local menus and a tool.
Emagic was showing off the NEW Logic Audio 6.0 Platinum. and their software
collections; Vintage, Synth, EMI 6|2m Gold Production Kit
and TDM. Here's a brief rundown of the new features:
Several Enhancements in the Arrange window
Freeze
The Arrange window of Logic 6 now
features a new "Freeze" button on all audio and audio instrument
tracks. The basic concept behind this feature is to maximize the CPU resources
available to Logic. "Freezing" CPU-demanding tracks, such as tracks
using complex software instruments and effect plug-ins, reduces their CPU-load
down to the very minimal demand of an unprocessed stereo audio track
thus freeing-up potentially very large amounts of CPU-power which can be
used for other purposes. This also allows the playback of Logic songs created
on faster machines which would normally overload a slower machine's CPU
processing capabilities. All users will benefit from this feature, regardless
of the computer being used put simply more plug-ins, more audio
instruments and more tracks can be used simultaneously. Tracks can be unfreezed
at any time for further editing.
Offline Bounce
Another attractive feature in Logic 6 is the Offline Bounce. This feature allows users to bounce faster than real-time or to bounce songs that would otherwise cause system overloads.
Marquee Tool
With Logic 6 a new Arrange Tool is
introduced: the Marquee Tool. The Marquee Tool allows region and sequence-independent
selection and editing i.e. move, copy, delete, cut, mute, etc.
Time Stretching in Arrange
Time Stretching directly in the Arrange window is now possible with Logic 6: the length of an audio file or a loop can now be quickly adapted to the chosen bar.
Hide Tracks
Improved Overview and Track management is now possible in the Arrange window with "Hide Track". Hide Track does not affect playback.
New Arrange Icons
Logic 6 features new and user-definable Arrange window Icons.
Arrange Channel Strip
The new Arrange Channel Strip allows the user to perform on-the-spot
changes to the mix while editing in the Arrange window. Selection of a track
in the Arrange window will display the corresponding mixer channel in the
parameter section of the Arrange window. This added functionality reduces
the need to switch between Logic's mixer and Arrange windows.
One of the most impressive features of Logic Audio 5 is the new automation
features. The picture on the left shows the expanded view of the autiomation
for a single track. each blue background waveform is a different automation
layer. Also there's a new tool allowing for selection of data with in a
track, which can be scaled, copied, dragged, etc (It's the dark blue square
in top layer, middle area). To see the QT movie, click on the screen.
New Channel EQ Plug-In
Logic 6 features the intuitive new Channel EQ Plug-In. This EQ will set new standards for easeof-use and sonic quality. It features 8 bands with fixed modes: a highpass filter, a low shelving EQ, four parametric EQ bands, a high shelving EQ and a lowpass filter. All bands are fully parametric. Each channel EQ has an optional "high resolution analyzer" graphic display mode.
Control Surface Support
Logic 6 can now be controlled by the following third-party hardware
controller units: Motormix by CM Automation, SAC-2k and SAC 2.2 by RadikalTechnologies,
HUI and Baby HUI by Mackie, DM2000 and 02R96 by Yamaha. These hardware controllers
can be used in combination with each other or as part of an expandable
Logic Control and Logic Control XT system In this manner customers
can build hardware control systems precisely tailored to their needs. This
offers unmatched Control Surface flexibility.
Quick Automation Access
The newly integrated One Fader Automation facility allows the selected automation parameter to be controlled by any controller e.g. a Mod Wheel..
Grouping
Each channel in Logic can now
be assigned to one of 32 groups. Each group can be a mix group, an edit
group, or both. Channels can be assigned to multiple groups. Naturally,
this feature improves Logic's fundamental automation engine while at the
same time accelerates workflow and affords users improved live editing possibilities.
Such as, improved vocal editing, assigning level meters to a group, or muting
drum sets.
The new Video Thumbnail track displays a film as single frames, aligned horizontally in the Arrange Window. The number of thumbnails displayed is dependent on the current zoom level.
In order to view the QuickTime video on a standard TV or video monitor, Version 6.0 now allows the output of a DV-formatted QuickTime movie via FireWire. This allows the connection of a standard DV camera or FireWire conversion box to Logic.
Users can now directly activate the new and unique Project
Manager from the Arrange window. The Project Manager consolidates all media
files on local volumes by recognizing the dependencies between audio files,
sampler instruments, settings and movies.
The Project Manager is extremely flexible: users can rename files, add or edit comments and change references to one, or multiple song files.
All media files can be saved in a new "project" file format, making archiving and transport of projects created in Logic both efficient and easy. Extensive search facilities further enhance the usefulness of this tool.
The Setup Assistant is an unique tool that guides users
step-by-step even the extreme novice through the process of
setting up and configuring Logic.
In a simple and interactive Q & A session users learn how to easily create preferences, configure key settings and create their first template song in Logic.
Logic 6 can now import and export MP3 files. In addition, QuickTime audio formats are supported for both import and export. This includes: AAC, Qdesign Music 2, Qualcomm PureVoice, µLaw, Alaw and IMA formats.
A bundle of six complete
Emagic products in one package. Agressively priced, the kit includes the
EMI 6|2 m USB/Hub/MIDI interface, the award winning Logic Gold 5 recording
software and the Emagic instruments EVB3, EVP88, EXSP24 plus the Xtreme
Digital Sample Library.
The EMI 6|2 m is a high quality USB audio and MIDI interface with an integrated USB Hub. It provides six 24 Bit analog inputs and two analog outputs, with sample rates up to 96 kHz supported.

The EVP88 captures the sound of the legendary Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer and Hohner electric pianos. The EVP88 does not just statically recreate an instrument's tonal characteristics, as would be the case with samples. Rather, it expressively reacts to the player's every nuance with impressive realism.
Last, but not least, the EMI 6|2m Gold Production Kit provides access to an everincreasing range of superb samples with the EXSP24 sample player, and the Xtreme Digital sample collection. Emagic will commence international delivery of EMI 6|2 m Gold Production Kit in February 2003. Feel free to place your orders with us now thru our secure online order form, use EMB code EMGPK.
With the Emagic Vintage Collection, the vintage myths
of the Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer and Hohner electric pianos, Hohner Clavinet
and the legendary B3 comes to life in today's computers. Uniquely, these
vintage software instruments do not just statically recreate an instrument's
tonal characteristics, as would be the case with samples. Rather, they expressively
react to the player's every nuance with impressive realism.
The Emagic Vintage Collection includes the successful , multiple award-winning EVP88, the EVD6 and the EVB3, all for a special price.
The use of the Emagic Vintage Collection requires an installed copy of Logic Platinum 5.5 (or higher) for Macintosh.

The Emagic Synth Collection includes three multiple
award-winning software synthesizers in one premium package. With this exclusive
offer, the user gets the ES2, the EVOC20 and the ES1 for a special price.
With the brilliant and powerful sounding ES2, a very special instrument
is available to Logic users. Drawing from the past to redefine the future,
its extraordinary synthesis engine delivers exceptional tonal quality in
all registers and a complex voice architecture provides extensive sonic
possibilities. Its ergonomic user interface and sheer power will inspire
new creative heights. Able to combine the full-bodied energy of analog systems
with the shimmering detail of glistening digital tone generation, the ES2
owes its enormous sonic wealth to an unsurpassed palette of in-demand synthesis
techniques.

Emagic announces the TDM Collection, which combines three sought-after Emagic software products in one comprehensive package at a special price: ESB TDM, Host TDM Enabler and PTHD Extension.
With Emagic's ProTools HD Extension (PTHD | Ext) for Logic Platinum Macintosh, together with the current Digidesign ProTools HD system, sampling rates up to 192 kHz can be reached. In addition, more tracks than ever before are supported and users can make full use of the increased I/O capacity of the PTHD system. Logic Platinum users also benefit from the new TDM II architecture through the most efficient use of the TDM time slots.
The Emagic System Bridge TDM (ESB TDM) is the ideal link between the DSP world of the TDM system and the computer's native CPU processing. The ESB TDM makes use of the previously unexploited resources of the computer by allowing native audio tracks, Logic and VST plug-ins and Audio Instruments to be routed into Logic's TDM mixer. In addition, the ESB TDM extends the functionality of the EXS24, making it the EXS24 TDM, which can be used directly in the Aux channels of Logic Audio Platinum's TDM mixer.
The third product in the package is the HostTDM Enabler. It allows the user to insert the Emagic software instruments ES1, ES2, EVP88, EVB3 and EVD6 - available separately - into aux channels of the TDM mixer, even using TDM-compatible hosts other than Logic Platinum. While the software instruments are calculated on the computer's CPU, their audio signals can be further processed directly with any of the TDM plug-ins.
The use of the TDM Collection requires an installed copy of Logic Platinum 5.5 (or higher) for Mac OS 9, apart from the Host TDM Enabler, which can also be used with other TDM-compatible host software. Emagic will commence international delivery of the TDM Collection during February 2003. eel free to place your orders with us now thru our secure online order form, use EMB code EMTDMC.
