I was watching a video on Logic Studio (macprovideo) and I really like allot of the new interface features that are being offered in this version. It looks easier to use and is a complete overhaul of the old Logic Pro. If you look at the website you can see what other programs are being offered in this package like compressor, impulse response utility, apple loops utility, wave-burner, main-stage, soundtrack pro, and more. There is support for surround sound in many of the plugins and mixing in surround. Check out some of the free vids of it at macprovideo.com under logic pro tips and tricks.
