Apple dropped a bombshell on music makers today by acquiring Emagic which, with Steinberg, dominates the market for sequencing software. Apple said it will axe the Windows version of Emagic"s Logic sequencer come September.
"I"ll bet there are 70,000 unhappy users," a musician who uses PC versions of both products told us today. The companies today said that two-thirds of Logic"s 200,000 users are on the Mac already
"What about the 35% PC-based users?" writes another. "I for one can´t understand the discontinuation of the windows-based products. Seems to me that this will be the death of emagic. ... it will be a loss in competition, no question about it."
