According to strong insider sources, Apple would have discontinued Emagic's audio and midi interfaces production line (Unitor8, AMT8, MT4, A26, A62). It appears that Apple won't replace these at all... Due to our source's role, we can surely believe that this is not just a rumor but true facts!
Concerning softwares, it also seems that both Emagic WaveBurnerPro (included in Logic) and SoundDiver (probably the last free beta) will not be developed anymore. This now reduces the from now on legacy Emagic product line to Apple Logic Pro and Logic Express. That's It!
If you are planing to buy an emagic interface, we strongly advice you to hurry up buying those in stock at your local dealer or on the AppleStore.
