I agree that we won't lose the Vi's in Logic. In fact I think we'll see some updates.
Granted the stuff doesn't sound bad, but it IS old code now and at least the GUI's
need a refresh. If they can update them,give them a new look and sound, and still
offer some kind of legacy support for user patches then it could work.
I personally could care less about buying it as a download. I'd rather buy
it like I always have on DVD's and to be honest the packaging for
Logic Studio 9 was fine enough. Surely they'd still want people to go to their
local Apple store and buy it off the shelf no? I'd rather have hard copies.
