Me too. Do you mean not a lot of new features? Because it gets updated pretty regularly.

July 12, 2016 at 5:44 pmMy use is pretty minimal. I think they have a pretty good track record, which is atypical of Apple. Probably because it’s largely the original development team in Germany. Compare that the Pages, Photos, Numbers, Keynote. OTOH a lot of what gets done in Logic is tossing in new features that would otherwise be paid third party add-ons and plug-ins with other apps.

Gotcha… I read your earlier comment as saying Logic doesn’t get updated often… 🙂

“Well, in the past, it has gone through its own spells of inattention.

For sure. Though, since it was X-ified, it’s been pretty consistently tweaked…

Ah, I do remember something about that… I have not been to NAB for some years.
Vashon Island, WA where I live is called the Rock; so I guess I do live on a rock.

LOL. Well there was *some* discussion of it here, too.

July 12, 2016 at 10:00 pmMy long term fears isn’t about FCPX updates as much as it is about its existence! I visited an Apple store Sunday for the first time in a while and was saddened that there a lone Mac Pro and a coulee of iMacs against a wall and the rest of the store was all devices. There used to be a table full of iMac’s and various tables with laptops but no more.
With everyone wanting to shoot 4K, 6K and beyond, will there even be a Apple system that can handle the material in the near future? The only thing keeping mainly Mac-based is Pro Res, otherwise I’d probably be 100% Windows and Premiere or Resolve…
It was at a Vegas premiere that I resolved to become an avid FCPX user.

I would assume that pro’s generally don’t go to Brick and Mortar Stores to make their purchases. When is the last time you have made a major purchase of a Mac or PC at an actual store versus online? For that matter when was the last time you purchased anything related to video or audio from a non-online store. I buy everthing from the Apple online Store and B&H online, and have done so for probably the last 10 years at least.
I imagine that the Apple Store like most stores is focused on more general consumers rather than specialists.
