As in GarageBand, each track now has volume and pan controls within the track list, thus allowing you to make changes there rather than moving to the Channel Strip or Mixer. The Library pane is now on the left, as many of us tend to work from left to right, and can quickly be exposed or hidden with the click of a button. For instance, the transport controls have moved to the top of the window to join the buttons that represent common commands, whereas in the past these controls and buttons were split between the top and bottom of the interface. Logic Pro X takes a major leap in that direction.Īpple has rethought the placement of elements you routinely use. Since Apple acquired Emagic (the German company that developed it), it’s set about making Logic easier to use. Logic has long had the reputation of being one of the deepest, but most challenging DAWs to use. Projects created as far back as Logic 5 can be opened with Logic Pro X. But the new version hasn’t entirely abandoned the past. There’s no bridging utility to allow those older plug-ins to work, so they are entirely incompatible with the application. You should also make sure that any plug-ins you wish to use are 64-bit: With this version of Logic Pro, Apple has bid farewell to 32-bit plug-ins. Your Mac must be running OS X 10.8.4 or later, and you’ll want at least 35GB of storage if you plan to install all of the optional content (you can get by with 5GB for the default Logic Pro X installation). This is for both new and existing users of Logic-no upgrade pricing applies. Logic Pro X is available only through the Mac App Store and costs $200.
