If there was a word to sum up the show so far, it would be “Native”. I just saw Apogee’s new portable Symphony system written exclusively for Apple’s Logic Pro 7. Using a $595 PCIe card into Apple’s 17″ Mac Book Pro, you can get up to 32 tracks with 1.6 ms of latency. Right after that, I went to the Sony booth and heard that their Oxford plug-ins are now available in Audio Units. Native has arrived. Be sure to check out our March issue for more Native news.
