I could have had Live alone (without all the extra content and instruments) for 250. I got Ableton Suite, with Max for Live for about 500 euro. In Europe Photoshop (basic version) costs 1500 euro.

I mean… music software already is pretty affordable.Ĭompare it with the above mentioned Adobe Creative Suite. If we want companies to produce a high standard in software we need to live with the idea that that software will cost money. They’re clearly going for a dumping price strategy here, and I can’t think this might be doing much good to the market.ĭeveloping software costs money, time and resources. On the other hand, apple is perhaps not doing us such a big favour on the long run. I might even buy it, though I really have no need for it. Hell you could even just buy it to see if it’s worth it. Well there’s certainly not much to loose on a 30$ download. I wish Apple had bought Adobe back in the day or had a product that competes with Photoshop because 1) Photoshop would be way cheaper and 2) it wouldn’t be like MS Office with new versions every two years with pointless UI tweaks. The problem is there isn’t always that much to innovate so they just end up switching around the interface which just wastes everyone’s time relearning it. Sounds good in theory right, they always have to be innovating.

Adobe CS is basically they’re only income stream so if they want to meet quarterly earnings they have to have a new version in the works constantly. They can let the Logic team do their own thing for as long as it takes to produce something awesome. Apple has tons of money coming in from all over the place. They don’t need to rush things out just to turn a profit for the year. How can take something seriously that seems to come out with new versions constantly making you waste time upgrading and testing and relearning? This is why I’d rather use a DAW by a company who has other revenue streams besides music software.

I think people are just so stuck on the upgrade treadmill that if their DAW doesn’t come out with an update every 16 months they assume it must be discontinued! Too me the slow updates are what signifies a “pro” app. A huge library of more than 1700 sampler instruments.Add backing tracks using more than 15,000 royalty-free Apple Loops.80 effects including reverbs, delays, EQs, dynamics, amps, stompboxes, and more.Create and layer your own loop recordings with the Loopback plug-in.Trigger Apple Loops and stereo or multitrack backing tracks using the Playback plug-in.Use 40 built-in instruments including synths, vintage keyboards, a drum machine, sampler, and more.Design rich keyboard patches using splits and layers.

Combine instruments and live audio, such as keyboard and vocals, in a single patch.

Perform live with 120 instrument and effect plug-ins or work with your Audio Units plug-ins.

If you’re a MainStage user, let us know how you use it – and what you think of the new pricing! The video above takes a look at how Nine Inch Nails has used MainStage as part of its live performance reg. MainStage basically turns a Mac into a live performance rig, with broad hardware control and a massive number of plugins and sounds.

And a variety of virtual versions of vintage synth & keyboard.

That 19GB includes some highly regarded plugins from Logic, including: That may change, though, now that it’s being bundled with 19GB of software synths, sampled instruments and loops.Īt that price, it’s easily one of the biggest bargains in music software. MainStage hasn’t received a lot of attention as part of the Logic Studio bundle and a lot of people probably don’t know what it does.

We thought Apple’s decision to sell Logic Pro 9 in its Mac App Store for $200 made it a fantastic bargain.īut the real bargain is the second app that Apple released in the App Store yesterday, MainStage.
