The previous entry-level version, Logic Audio Silver, is now simply Logic Audio ($399) in version 5.5. Note that the word “Audio” has been dropped from the product name of Platinum and Gold. For $300 less, Logic Gold ($649) offers fewer audio tracks and other features. The version reviewed here, Logic Platinum, is the full-tilt package with the most plug-ins and the greatest capabilities. Logic 5.5 is available in three versions for both Windows and the Mac OS. New features in automation surround mixing 24-bit, 192 kHz compatibility software instruments and control-surface hardware support make Logic Platinum 5.5 a formidable package that currently rivals all other audio sequencers, on both computer hardware platforms. Although future development of Logic on the Windows platform has come to an end, ongoing support of Emagic's current products has not slowed one bit, resulting in a steady stream of significant updates.
With version 5.5, Logic now runs under OS 9 and OS X on the Mac as well as on Windows on the PC.
