Apple released a new product, Logic Studio, today. It’s a package containing an updated version of Logic (Logic 8), a new live music application called MainStage, Soundtrack Pro 2 and a bunch of effects and software instruments. It’s all very exciting, particularly MainStage. Mainstage aims to provide a stable, reliable basis for doing live performances with software instruments and effects.

I find it very interesting that one of the eight highly touted features of Logic 8 is that you no longer need a hardware dongle. Just… interesting.
