Ridiculously powerful. Seriously creative.
Live LoopsFor spontaneous composition.
Live Loops is a dynamic way to create and arrange music in real time. Kick off your composition by adding loops, samples or your recorded performances into a grid of cells. Battlenet maintenance starcraft 2. Trigger different cells to play with your ideas without worrying about a timeline or arrangement. Once you find combinations that work well together, you can create song sections, then move everything into the Tracks area to continue production and finish your song.
Remix FX
Bring DJ-style effects and transitions to an individual track or an entire mix with a collection of stutters, echoes, filters and gating effects.
Logic Remote
Control features like Live Loops, Remix FX and more from your iPad or iPhone using Multi-Touch gestures.
Novation Launchpad
Live Loops supports Launchpad for a tactile experience. Use an 8x8 grid of colourful and expressive pads to dynamically trigger cells, input notes, adjust mixer levels and more.
Step SequencerPure beat poetry.
Step Sequencer is inspired by classic drum machines and synthesizers. Using the Step Sequence editor, quickly build drum beats, bass lines and melodic parts — and even automate your favourite plug-ins. Add sophisticated variations to your pattern with a wide range of creative playback behaviours. Use Note Repeat to create rolling steps, Chance to randomise step playback, and Tie Steps Together to create longer notes.
Logic RemoteTouch and flow.
Logic Remote lets you use your iPhone or iPad to control Logic Pro on your Mac. Use Multi-Touch gestures to play software instruments, mix tracks, and control features like Live Loops and Remix FX from anywhere in the room. Swipe and tap to trigger cells in Live Loops. And tilt your iPhone or iPad up and down and use its gyroscope to manipulate filters and repeaters in Remix FX.
NewSequence your beats
Program drum patterns and melodic parts from your iPad or iPhone. Create dynamic rhythmic performances and automate your plug-ins — all with a quick tap of your finger.
Multi-Touch mixing
Control your mix from wherever you are in the room — whether that's next to your computer or on the sofa — with Multi-Touch faders.
Pair and play
Use a variety of onscreen instruments, such as keyboards, guitars and drum pads, to play any software instrument in Logic Pro from your iPad or iPhone.
Key commands
Create at the speed of sound with key commands in Logic Remote. Choose from curated commands for popular workflows or create your own custom set.
Sampler
We redesigned and improved our most popular plug-in — the EXS24 Sampler — and renamed it Sampler. The new single-window design makes it easier to create and edit sampler instruments while remaining backwards compatible with all EXS24 files. An expanded synthesis section with sound-shaping controls brings more depth and dynamics to your instruments. The reimagined mapping editor adds powerful time-saving features that speed the creation of complex instruments. Use the zone waveform editor to make precise edits to sample start/end, loop ranges and crossfades. And save hours of tedious editing with new drag-and-drop hot zones. Animal crossing pocket camp direct.
Quick Sampler
Quick Sampler is a fast and easy way to work with a single sample. Drag and drop an audio file from the Finder, Voice Memos or anywhere within Logic Pro. Or record audio directly into Quick Sampler using a turntable, microphone, musical instrument, or even channel strips playing in Logic Pro. In a few steps, you can transform an individual sample into a fully playable instrument. And with Slice Mode, you can split a single sample into multiple slices — perfect for chopping up vocals or breaking up and resequencing drum loops.
Drum Synth
This powerful, easy-to-use plug-in creates synthesized drum sounds. Choose from a diverse collection of drum models and shape their sound with up to eight simple controls. Drum Synth is also directly integrated into the bottom of the Drum Machine Designer interface —giving you a focused set of sound-shaping controls.
Drum Machine Designer
Redesigned to be more intuitive and integrated, Drum Machine Designer lets you effortlessly build electronic drum kits. Apply individual effects and plug-ins on each discrete drum pad to experiment with sound design and beat-making in new ways. You can also create a unique layered sound by assigning the same trigger note to two different pads. To help you quickly edit sounds, Quick Sampler and Drum Synth are directly integrated into the Drum Machine Designer interface.
DrummerCompose to the beat of a different percussionist.
Using Drummer is like hiring a session drummer or collaborating with a highly skilled beat programmer. Create organic-sounding acoustic drum tracks or electronic beats with the intelligent technology of Drummer. Choose from dozens of drummers who each play in a different musical genre, and direct their performances using simple controls.
Compositions and PerformancesYour studio is always in session.
Logic Pro turns your Mac into a professional recording studio able to handle even the most demanding projects. Capture your compositions and performances — from tracking a live band to a solo software-instrument session — and flow them into your songs.
The ultimate way to record.
Seamless punch recording. Automatic take management. Support for pristine 24-bit/192kHz audio. Logic Pro makes it all easy to do — and undo. You can create projects with up to 1,000 stereo or surround audio tracks and up to 1,000 software instrument tracks, and run hundreds of plug-ins. It's all you need to complete any project.
Get the most out of MIDI.
Logic Pro goes beyond the average sequencer with an advanced set of options that let you record, edit and manipulate MIDI performances. Transform a loose performance into one that locks tight into the groove using region-based parameters for note velocity, timing and dynamics. Or tighten up your MIDI performances while preserving musical details like flams or chord rolls with Smart Quantize.
Industry-leading tools
As your song develops, Logic Pro helps organise all your ideas and select the best ones. Group related tracks, audition alternative versions and consolidate multiple tracks. Lightning-fast click-and-drag comping helps you build your best performance from multiple takes.
Smart Tempo

Education Bundle
Five amazing apps. One powerful collection.
These last couple of weeks have been pretty surreal for everyone around the world. As many of us are staying home, the kind folks at Apple have done something they've never done before with Logic Pro X…
Apple is offering for the first time a 90 day free trial of Logic Pro X. Nothing's held back. No restrictions on workflow. 3 months of checking out the best DAW around:
This is a pretty big deal. First – this is a wonderful gesture on Apple's part to all us creatives who are trying to manage through these uncertain times.
Second, Apple has never before offered a trial version of Logic Pro X.
Garageband, Apple's free music-making software, is essentially the trial version of Logic. If you enjoy creating in Garageband but want to graduate to more professional experience, that's when you would have to bust out the credit card.
Now the cost of Logic is peanuts compared to other DAWs out there. But $199 USD can still feel like a lot when you don't know what the other side is going to feel like.
I applaud Apple for pulling back the curtain and sharing Logic with the rest of the Mac world. Office 2019 review. If you've wanted to check out Logic but have been gun-shy about ponying up the money, this is your chance 🙂
To celebrate, WLPR is getting back to basics. For the next 5 days, I'll be posting a free 5-day Quick Start Guide to getting started in Logic Pro X.
These 5 videos are the core essentials any beginner will need to know to get right down to creating in Logic.
We'll cover everything from:
- Loading up a brand new Project
- Setting up your Audio Interface
- Recording audio and MIDI
- Using Drummer
- Editing your performances with Flex-Time and Flex-Pitch
And much more!
These 5 videos are succinct and to the point. We're not digging into the weeds of details you might need someday. These videos focus on helping you create right now.
This Quick Start Guide was originally released as an email subscriber-only walkthrough. But it only felt right to celebrate Apple's decision to offer a trial version of Logic by making this Quick Start Guide public.

Enjoy! And keep your eyes on WLPR for the next 5 days 🙂
