Major Updates (Photo: Business Wire)
Logic Pro X users can also remotely add new tracks to their
Logic® sessions from their iPhone or iPad when they’re away from
their Mac. With a new share option, users can upload a special
GarageBand-compatible version of a Logic project to iCloud®, which
they can then open on their iOS devices and add new recordings
whenever inspiration strikes. When the project is saved back to
iCloud, any newly added tracks will automatically appear in the
original Logic project the next time it’s opened on a Mac.
“Music has always been part of Apple’s DNA, and we are excited
to deliver yet another fun and powerful update to our music
creation apps, GarageBand for iOS and Logic Pro X,” said Susan
Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Applications Product Marketing.
“These updates bring a wide range of new and highly requested
features to both hobbyists and the community of pro musicians and
audio engineers who rely on our software and hardware to create
amazing music.”
“Logic Pro X is an indispensable part of the creative process
for me and the artists I work with. I’m thrilled to see all the new
professional features that have been added,” said Grammy- and
Academy Award-winning producer and composer Paul Epworth. “As a
huge fan of the Alchemy synthesizer, I love that I can grab my
iPhone or iPad and use GarageBand to keep coming up with new tracks
for my Logic sessions when I’m traveling and away from my
studio.”
GarageBand for iOS
GarageBand for iOS brings even more sophisticated music creation
options to iPhone and iPad, while still remaining fun and easy to
use. It features a redesigned sound browser that makes it faster
than ever to explore Touch Instruments® and quickly find the exact
sounds you’re looking for.
Alchemy, one of the world’s most innovative modern synthesizers
and a favorite of Logic Pro users, comes to iOS and includes a rich
collection of over 150 Apple-designed patches from a wide variety
of genres, including EDM, Hip Hop, Indie, Rock, Pop and more. And
with Alchemy’s Transform Pad, users can morph between eight sonic
snapshots in real-time, to create expressive synth
performances.
Recording music in GarageBand for iOS also gets easier with
Multi-Take Recording, giving users multiple passes to capture their
best performance and the ability to audition and switch between
their favorite takes.
The release also features a redesigned Audio Recorder that adds
fun, one-tap vocal effects and provides users with even more
sophisticated studio effects like pitch correction, distortion and
delay. Seasoned users looking for even more control over their
mixes can use a new collection of advanced audio processing tools,
including an interactive graphic Visual EQ and the ability to use
third-party Audio Unit plug-in effects for expandable, creative
sound design.
Logic Pro X
Logic Pro X includes advanced new features that make Logic an
even stronger tool for audio production, giving musicians and audio
engineers even more control over editing and mixing their music.
The latest release features a new modern design that improves
legibility in a variety of working environments.
Logic Pro X also adds support for the revolutionary new Touch
Bar on MacBook Pro, providing the ability to view and navigate your
project in a timeline overview, along with convenient access to
volume and Smart Controls for any selected track. New performance
controls let you play and record software instruments with the
Touch Bar using a piano keyboard that can also be customized to a
variety of musical scales, or by tapping drum pads to create beats.
Assignable key command buttons let you customize the Touch Bar
controls to keep your favorite keyboard shortcuts available when
you need them.
Track Alternatives let users create and switch between different
playlists of regions and edits on any track. This feature makes it
easier to experiment with various creative ideas or evaluate
different versions of a track as it evolves. Selection-based
Processing allows users to apply any combination of Logic or
third-party effect plug-ins onto any selection of one or multiple
audio regions. It is useful for optimizing sound quality and a
great tool for creative sound design.
Logic Pro X becomes more powerful for professional mixing, with
a 64-bit summing engine, 192 additional busses and true stereo
panning, providing discrete control of stereo signals.
