Rumor : Apple/Emagic new audio software coming soon ? - macmusicSeveral sources told us that Apple/Emagic may soon release a new DAW software. This software would be primarily targeted at sound engineers more than musicians and would be a compliment of Logic.

This application is Core Audio based and supports AudioUnits plugins. The User Interface is made by Apple who had started this project before acquiring Emagic. Apple may even release its own hardware developed by Apogee Digital. This software is clearly planned to go head to head with ProTools and dedicated DAW in its appeal to the professional recording and mixing world.

Rumors or facts: time will tell!

LPM: Note that the editor will still be PC only, and Clavia is still mute on the subject of a MacOS editor. It doesn't mean there won't be one one day, but don't count on it in the near future.
