Logic Users Group Unveils New Web Presence

The Logic Users Group (LUG) has a new home on the web:

The Logic Users Group (LUG) is the oldest and largest online Logic community in existence. Formed in 1994, the LUG was Emagic’s first presence on the Internet, as well as the first website and mailing list for a digital audio sequencer.  It has continued as an active unofficial support mailing list for professionals and amateurs since then, attracting both industry heavy hitters and new users of Emagic and then Apple Logic Pro and Apple Logic Express software.

Apogee Drops Windows Development

Given that this is Mac OS X Audio, this may not seem like the biggest deal.  However for those who were looking for cross platform audio interfaces and considering getting an Apogee interface and FW card, or a USB Mini device, think again:

Apogee has officially announced that they are dropping all Windows platform development to focus solely on the Macintosh.  Of course, you can still plug Apogee standalone converters into any Windows audio interface you own.  And for those who do use their Apogee interfaces with Windows, they will still support previously purchased cards for a while.

The writing was clearly on the wall for a while, considering how much business Apogee has been doing with Apple-related products such as Ensemble and Duet, popular among Logic and GarageBand users.  Still, considering how much of a potential market Windows audio users are, this decision could not have been easy, or made lightly.

Come on in to the Mac OS X Audio forums to read and discuss this further.
