A good next update of Apple Logic Pro 8.1 or 9 would integrate the following improvements and add ons:

1. Overall stability improvement. This software HAS to be rocksolid

2. Better audioediting! We need tools that are faster, wen need tools directly in the Arrangeview and we need high quaslity editing like in Celmony Melodyne. We are all fed up with the time and pitcheditingquality of Logic Audio.

3. Space Designer was a cool convolution reverb years ago, but rightnow it needs improvement. We want more editing possibilities in real high quality.

4. EXS-24 needs urgent update. This sampler needs much more features and much more intuitive editing tools. Look at Kontakt and Halion. Please get much closer to it.
