Decimate means to take away 10%.

I was thinking the same thing – consider the source.

Let’s see, take a Mac Mini and make it taller and you have….

Well, technically it is, but that’s beside the point. Logic isn’t going anywhere.

GeeOne, I know you wouldn’t be allowed to say so, but I really hope you’re a Logic beta tester.

Who sprouted this idea – ProTools experts? Uh, yeah… like we’re supposed to believe the word of the opposition?

I think the best proof that Logic is still being actively developed is Apple’s purchase a few months ago of Redmatica. (I’m sure Logic users will know exactly what I mean.)

Except that ProTool’s future seems very much in doubt.

You don’t see a band without an Apple laptop on stage. No way is Apple abandoning music. Steve would haunt them.

Actually there are plenty of us that use Aperture all we want is continual investment in the future, hell who wants an Adobe product ?

Not exactly true. But, true that we couldn’t use it without Nik

Well said. Apple thinks facebook is more important than Logic or Aperture.

I use both. Would never want to give up either.

Yes, they are probably working on something important – like integrating FarceBook into iCloud or some other worthless endeavor.

Apple also wiped out the Aperture team. Aperture, once an industry leading piece of software, is now a laughing stock. No serious photographer uses Aperture anymore. No one.

How many we’re let go? Decimate means one in ten which isn’t too drastic. Or did the reporter misuse the word and mean far larger reductions? How bad is it?

By: mccfr

mccfr — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 21:45:40 +0000

It’s also a bullshit usage of the word decimate, which actually means to reduce by 10% as opposed to the idea that it means to only keep 10%.

It’s based on a punishment that was meted out in the Roman Army to punish mutiny or cowardice on the field of battle, where a group identified for punishment would be divided into sets of ten and then draw lots to see which man would die. He would then be stoned or clubbed to death by the nine men who didn’t draw the short straw.

I know life at Apple is competitive, but I suggest it isn’t quite that brutal.

The article is bullshit. Trust me on this.

OK same prob different product !

What about Aperture too ?

It would a serious loss of goodwill, if this happened.
Same applies if MacPro doesn’t get radical upgrade soon.

All of today’s Logic Pro “articles” point to the same suspect single source article from Pro – tools – expert.

The FCP team was eliminated in Feb 1010. FCPX came out in June 2011 via a new FCP team.

Exactly, Apple bought Emagic around 10 years ago. I would be more surprised if they hadn’t moved everything to Cupertino.

Logic is my go to DAW solution. I don’t want to have to go and buy Pro Tools!

By: tbone

tbone — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 20:44:42 +0000

Logic is wonderful. It’s not the industry standard. It does just about anything that a DAW needs to do. It’s updated promptly. If it disappears, I will go back to Protools and Apple will lose an audio customer.

The Logic/GarageBand team has been gradually transferring to cupertino since the acquisition. Duh.

I seem to remember the same headline just different from 2010: “Apple Decimates FCP Team Dev Team.”

Prelude to yet another disruption. For better or worse, Apple is gonna just keep innovating.

Go AAPL!
