For a number of years now, Apple's Logic Pro X music production software has been one of the quiet jewels in the company's crown. Yes, the iPhone, iPad and Mac will be used by more people, but when it comes to quality, value for money, and continual addition of new features, Logic takes some beating.
Now with Apple Silicon support to match your creative ambitions, plus plenty of fun and forward-thinking new features, Logic Pro X is the best it's ever been. To see how the pro-level software compares to the free music production app that comes with every Mac, read our Logic Pro X versus GarageBand feature (fave.co/37M9HiF).
Logic Pro has a free trial here (fave.co/3F3svWS), it costs £174.99 ($199.99) as a one-time purchase, after which subsequent updates are free.
Users can create Spatial Audio mixes, with expanded pan controls and expansions to plugins.
NEW FEATURES AND FIXES
As Logic has become more and more fully featured, you'd expect the free updates to get a little lighter each time and yet, Apple seems to find surprising new ways to add to the app.
Headlining Logic Pro's current major version, 10.7, is the addition of Dolby Atmos support in the mixing panel, as well as over 2,800 new loops and Apple silicon support. These follow on from 10.6's addition of the Step Sequencer on Logic Remote to trigger audio on your iPad, and 10.5's excellent Live Loops addition, which makes it easier than ever to get started making a track.
It's still got a steeper learning curve than its free brother, GarageBand, but Logic Pro X feels more approachable than ever regardless.
