Logic Studio is a complete set of professional applications that
lets you write, record, edit, mix and perform. It’s also the largest collection
of modeled instruments, sampler instruments, effect plug-ins and audio loops
ever put in a single box. So it’s easy to get amazing sounds and
amazing-sounding recordings. Now you can tackle any stage of your project
yourself — without losing your inspiration along the way.
Write
Your new writing studio.
With Logic Studio, you’ve got the perfect music creation and writing tools,
no matter how you like to work. Whether you’re improvising a three-chord pop
song, making beats, assembling and reshaping loops or composing for video,
nothing will break your creative flow.
Record
The ultimate way to record.
Logic Studio gives you everything you need for a professional recording
session. Seamless punch recording. Automatic take management. Marker creation.
It’s all easy to do and everything can be undone. And it works just as smoothly
for a two-hour symphony as for a simple singer/songwriter demo. With more than
200 audio tracks available and the ability to run hundreds of plug-ins, you’ll
never have to upgrade in the middle of a project.
Edit
You’re about to love editing.
Now you can polish performances without getting sidetracked by details,
because Logic Studio features the best set of editing tools yet. Assembling the
perfect comp from multiple takes has never been so fast. And now you can quickly
perform complex edits, like correcting timing errors and bending time, that took
dozens of steps before.
Mix
Pro mixing, in all its glory.
Hundreds of input channels. Dozens of mix groups. Plenty of sends and
auxiliaries. Dynamic channel strip creation. Powerful automation and track
management. And full surround capabilities. Logic Studio brings it all together
in a straightforward, customizable layout that makes it easy to focus on any
part of your project.
Perform
Even better live.
Logic Studio lets you turn your Mac into an incredibly powerful live stage
rig. You can travel light and still use all your studio instruments and effects.
Setup and teardown are blazingly fast. Your gear is incredibly easy to control.
You can sound as big as you want with live loop recording and backing tracks.
And you can use all your favourite hardware controllers. Welcome to your perfect
gig.
Explore Logic Studio
Made for musicians.
Put the flow back into your workflow.
With Logic Pro, all your editing tools and content browsers are integrated
into a single, beautifully designed window. And that means everything can happen
faster. Your shortcut menus, toolbars and transport bars are right there for
you, not spread across a maze of windows. And you can customise your workspace
using 99 storable screen configurations and more than 1000 definable key
commands to make it even better.
Get rolling, fast.
Templates get you set up instantly to write, record, mix or master — and you
can customise them as much as you want. For classic sounds, the Explore
templates let you choose from a range of instruments already paired with effects
and processing. Just grab one and start playing. The Compose templates put
everything in place for writing and tracking in a specific genre, from rock to
hip-hop to orchestral music. You get an entire studio of typical instruments and
processing, wired and configured so you can jump right in. Want to track, edit,
mix or master a large-scale project? The Production templates give you a big
head start. 
Share ideas between projects.
Selective Track Import lets you easily transfer setups and track content
between projects. Since you can select components on a track-by-track basis,
it’s simple to grab the guitar track from a different session or import that
perfect drum mix you created for another project.
Your new writing studio.
Zero in on the sound you need.
Built-in library browsers make it easy to navigate thousands of effect
settings, instrument settings, Apple Loops and even sounds you’ve created
yourself — all without leaving the track you’re working on. 
The Apple Loop browser serves up thousands of royalty-free loops by category,
such as instrument, genre and mood, so you can easily find what you’re looking
for. Choose one and it automatically conforms to the tempo and key of your
project. Special software instrument loops even let you edit the instrument,
processing or original MIDI performance.
Go wild, then go back.
Nondestructive, region-based editing allows you to tinker with individual
sections of a track and hear the results as you go. You can experiment all you
want, knowing your original performances are always kept intact.
Instant sampler instruments.
In one simple step, you can transform any audio region into a sampler
instrument, along with a MIDI track that will trigger the samples so they sound
just like the original track. From there, it’s easy to modify and resequence the
part.
Edit MIDI your way.
As a full-featured MIDI sequencer, Logic Pro lets you choose how you want to
view and edit MIDI data. Use the Piano Roll Editor to graphically edit note
velocity and length, while monitoring the results in real time. Or if you’re
used to working with traditional notation, go to the Score Editor where new
duration bars make it easy to graphically edit the length of notes.
Music notation the way it should be.
Logic Pro features a complete set of music notation tools, including
comprehensive layout and print options, instrument transposition, drum notation
and adaptive lyric input. You can generate guitar tablature with an expanded set
of ornaments for notating hammer-ons, bends, fingering and more. Snap guides
make it easy to add the new chord grids, whether you choose from the library of
more than 4000 or create your own.
You can transform MIDI performances into music notation in real time. If you
prefer not to perform your compositions, you can use MIDI Step Input to enter
notes one at a time using your computer keyboard or define pitch and velocity
with a MIDI keyboard as you go.
Scoring and sound design for video.
Advanced music-for-picture features make scoring and sound design easier than
ever. Flexible video display options let you view synchronised QuickTime movies
within the interface or on a separate monitor using output options like Digital
Cinema Desktop. You can locate scene changes visually via a thumbnail track or
automatically mark transitions using the scene detect option.
The ultimate way to record.
Take good notes.
Logic Pro makes it easy to document everything that happens during a session.
Track Notes are perfect for details like the mic you used or that external
compressor setting you don’t want to forget. With Project Notes, you can keep
track of bigger events, like who did what and when. Markers let you flag and
recall important places in time, such as the start of a verse or solo section.
And since notes and markers can hold up to 20,000 characters, you’ll never have
to resort to abbreviations you can’t decipher later.
Multiple takes, zero confusion.
Take folders make it easier than ever to organise and manage all your takes
and overdubs. You don’t even have to create or rename a folder. Just record over
your existing material and Logic Pro automatically creates a new take folder.
Since take folders are region based, you can keep takes for the verse in one
folder and takes for the chorus in another — all on the same track. If you
prefer to organise your takes like playlists, simply use a single take folder
for the entire track. 
New features in Logic Pro 9 let you freely edit and move take regions, punch
in and out of a take without creating a new take lane and color code your best
takes on the fly.
Get around latency.
Logic Pro has a unique Low Latency Mode that delivers low latency monitoring.
Go ahead and record into a project that’s been heavily mixed using limiters or
other plug-ins that can trigger compensation delays (even in DSP-based
systems).
Custom mixes for all.
Flexible routing options and loads of auxiliary channels let you set up
different monitor mixes for everyone you’re recording. Give yourself a head
start by using the multitrack Production templates in Logic Pro, which are
preconfigured for separate monitor mixes.
You’re about to love editing.
Introducing Flex Time.
Flex Time is a collection of tools that allows you to quickly manipulate the
timing and tempo of your recording for the tightest performance possible. Use
the new Flex Tool to easily move the individual beats on a waveform — forget all
that tedious splicing and editing. Flex Time combines beat slicing and elastic
audio techniques into a single workflow. And you no longer have to master
different techniques to correct drum, vocal, guitar or any other kind of tracks.
Best of all, your edits are always rendered in real time, even when you’re using
the highest-quality setting.
Audio Quantize lets you fix the timing of an entire performance in one step,
aligning notes and beats to a musical grid. Want to match your bass line to the
feel of your drums? You can transfer the rhythmic feel of one track to another
by creating a Groove template from the source track and applying it as a
grid. 
Quick comps.
Use Quick Swipe Comping to build the perfect track in no time. Just swipe
over the best sections of each take to create a seamless comp, complete with
transition-smoothing crossfades. Now you can even access traditional edit
functions — including cut, copy, paste, fades, crossfades and more — all without
leaving Quick Swipe Comping. Multiple comps and Autosave let you experiment
without worrying about losing your work. And you can use Edit Groups to
synchronise your selections across related tracks, like a multimic recording of
a vocal group. 
Skip the click.
With Beat Mapping, you can record freestyle, without a click track, then
conform your performance to a bar and beat grid later on. When you’re ready, all
you have to do is create a tempo track based on a selected guide track or simply
drag bar and beat guides to downbeats in an audio file or MIDI region.
Render when you want.
Bounce-in-Place lets you quickly render effects for a single region or an
entire track. You might use it when you’re ready to apply a plug-in
destructively to an audio file, when you want to bounce an effect before doing
more to a track or when you want to transfer files between
applications.
Tempo is now totally fluid. Selective Track Import lets you combine your best
recorded performances from different sessions — even if they were tracked at
different tempos or without a click. Since the new Tempo Import/Export feature
stores tempo information within each performance, any audio you import will
automatically conform. Use the drums from one session and the rhythm guitar from
another without worrying about tempo differences. 
Varispeed makes it easy to slow down or speed up an entire multitrack
project, so you can experiment with different tempos while editing. You can also
use Varispeed to slow things down while you punch in a difficult solo, then
bring everything back to the original tempo. And the new Speed Fades feature
lets you easily add creative, tape-style speedup or slowdown effects at the
beginning or end of any audio region.
Editing in Logic Pro 9
Polishing performances is quick and easy with the best set of editing tools
yet.
See
Flex Time in action One edit, multiple tracks.
Track Groups ensures that when you edit one track, it affects all the related
tracks. This works with move, cut, copy and paste. You can even lock in phase so
you’ll maintain all the relative distances across your tracks. That’s especially
important when you’re using multiple microphones to record one source, like two
mics on an acoustic guitar or multiple mics for the different drums in a kit.
And with Logic Pro 9, you can hide entire groups to remove clutter.
The power of the mouse.
Logic Pro gives you 14 different mouse tools to work with — and plenty of
shortcuts for getting to them. Set up one as your primary tool and it will be
wherever your cursor is. Set up another as your alternate tool and all you have
to do is press Command to access it. You can even assign a third as your
right-click tool. So you’ve got fast, custom access to the tools you use
most.
Turn on the new Click Zone feature and you won’t even have to call up your
fade or marquee tools to use them. Just hover over one Click Zone and your
cursor turns into your fade tool, so you can instantly create crossfades. Hover
over the other zone and you get the marquee tool — it’s the fastest way to
select part of your track and move or delete it. 
Perfecting drum tracks.
Use the new Drum Replacer to replace or double problematic drum tracks with
triggered samples in just a few clicks. No headaches. No hassles. Just a simple,
straightforward way to enhance drum tracks in Logic Pro.
Pro mixing, in all its glory.
Welcome to the big board.
Create whatever configuration you want with up to 255 discrete audio,
software instrument and auxiliary channels, along with up to 32 mix groups and
as many output channels as your audio hardware offers. Each track supports 15
plug-ins and 8 pre-fader, post-fader and post-pan sends with full latency
compensation to keep everything in perfect sync.
You can record busses and integrate outboard hardware into your mix. And you
have the flexibility to mute and solo tracks or individual regions. In fact, you
can do anything you’d do in a major studio, yet you don’t need a single DSP card
to do it. Your Mac Pro or MacBook Pro can easily handle the huge mixing capacity
of Logic Pro all by itself.
You’ll love the views.
Intuitive display options make it easy to find and focus on what’s important.
Without even opening the mixer, you can look at the dual channel strips beside
your edit area to see all the functions and plug-ins for a selected track, along
with any channels to which your track is sending signals. Enter the complete
mixer view and you’ll see channels displayed by the number and order of tracks
you’ve created or by type, such as audio, software instrument and external
MIDI.
Instant channel strips.
Logic Pro automatically creates auxiliary channels for your project whenever
you need them. Say you create a send to a bus or click on a software instrument
channel with multiple outputs. Logic Pro will generate an auxiliary channel
strip to receive the signal. Think of it as your engineering
assistant.
Mix in surround.
Logic Pro offers end-to-end surround capabilities, so you can record, edit,
mix and encode projects in surround up to 7.1. Graphic surround panning lets you
precisely position audio in a Quad, LCRS, 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 surround field.
Surround support includes multichannel signal routing and you can submix
surround tracks or use sends to route audio to surround auxiliary
tracks. 
Group your tracks.
Track Groups makes it easy to work with related tracks, like a set of
background vocal tracks or a multitrack drum recording. When you’re adjusting
the channel strip for one track and you want the changes to show up on other
tracks, just assign them to the same group. The redesigned group window makes it
easier to access all the group functions and adds the option to solo or hide a
group.
Complete automation.
You can easily record changes to any channel strip or plug-in parameter on
the fly. So you can ride something, like the feedback on a tape delay, the same
way you would a fader or pan. You don’t have to configure anything or define
parameters. Just enable automation, press play and make your changes. You can
also create and edit automation graphically. 
Compatibility.
Software and plug-ins.
Your GarageBand projects open in Logic Pro without a hitch. And you can
transfer projects freely to Logic Express or Soundtrack Pro and back again. You
can also move your projects to and from other audio and video applications, such
as Final Cut Pro and Pro Tools, because Logic Pro supports XML, OMF and AAF file
interchange protocols and makes it simple to create stem files. 
You can plug in any TDM or Audio Units software instrument or effect. And
ReWire lets you run Logic Pro with specialized applications such as Reason and
Live. Trigger and sequence your instruments from Logic Pro, route your signals
directly into the Logic Pro mixer and have everything running in perfect
sync.
Create any kind of file you need.
Logic Pro supports all the popular file formats, including WAV, AIFF, MP3,
SDII and even CAF, which lets you record up to six hours at 96kHz. You can play,
record and process multichannel, interleaved audio files. You can also burn
uncompressed surround stems directly to DVD-A or encode and preview
industry-standard Dolby Digital AC-3 audio using Compressor 3.5, which comes
with Logic Studio.
Back up to MobileMe.
Logic Pro lets you back up your favourite channel strip settings, plug-in
settings and key commands to your MobileMe account, so you can access them from
anywhere over the web.1 You can also share your preferences across
any local or Internet-based network.
Interfaces and control surfaces.
Logic Pro fully supports Apple Core Audio and Pro Tools HD hardware. That
gives you the freedom to work with almost any audio interface and even combine
the inputs and outputs of multiple devices. If you want hands-on control, you
have your pick of third-party control surfaces, including everything from small,
portable faders to the top-of-the-line consoles you find in the best recording
studios. And customising control assignments couldn’t be easier with the
Auto-learn feature built into Logic Pro.
Power management.
More plug-ins, less power.
Most applications switch on the juice for plug-ins as soon as they’re
inserted. But Logic Pro features an intelligent DSP engine that asks for power
only when a signal runs through the plug-in. So go ahead, pile on the
instruments and effects. It will take more than that to slow you down.
Quick, temporary rendering.
If your project requires more power than you’ve got or if you simply want to
play your project on a less powerful computer, Freeze Tracks allows you to
temporarily render your tracks. This is also a great way to share projects with
friends who don’t have the same plug-ins.
Harness multiple computers.
Use distributed audio processing to combine the power of multiple computers
on a network and your plug-in processing power can be virtually unlimited. It
even works for third-party plug-ins.
Logic Studio is loaded with spot-on models and gorgeous samples
of the best gear ever — from the classic to the rare and obscure. You also get
the most advanced, easy-to-use tools for manipulating those sounds or creating
your own.
Explore Plug-ins & Sounds
Calling all gear hounds.
Amp Designer and Pedalboard are two new plug-ins that give you an
astonishing collection of gear. Amp Designer lets you mix and match 25 amp
heads, 5 EQs, 10 reverbs, 25 speaker cabinets and 3 mics that you can position
freely around the speaker cone. So you can faithfully re-create almost any
legendary sound. And Pedalboard features 30 stompboxes, all meticulously crafted
to reproduce the tones and responsiveness of the originals they’re modeled
after. The Pedalboard interface makes it easy to re-order and swap your pedals
and to creatively route your signal for thousands of combinations and virtually
unlimited sounds. And because it all lives on your Mac, it’s easy to bring your
killer sounds with you to the stage.
Amp Designer Tweed
Get the warm, clean, complex sounds of American amps from the ’50 and early
’60s. Pushing the gain will take you gradually from gentle distortion all the
way to ripping overdrive.
Pedalboard Delay
Pour on the vibe with spacey echoes, spring reverbs and backward delays. Just
run your guitar signal through Blue Echo, Spring Box or Tru-tape Delay and leave
your dry signal behind.
Back to
Top
Studio effects.
The new Logic Studio adds a live loop recorder to the long list
of plug-ins you can use to enhance any recording session, live show or
post-production project. New Warped Effects let you break the rules of reverb,
transforming your sound with movement, texture, ghost rhythms and much more.
Delay Designer has an intuitive, multitap interface that lets you get as
creative as you want with delay. And you can bring just the right touch to your
project with professional EQ and dynamics plug-ins, pitch correction,
modulation, filters and distortion.
Space Designer Reverbs
Play your tracks in 900 of the world’s most distinctive acoustic spaces, from
a tiny wine cellar to a massive cathedral.

Top
Studio instruments.
The largest collection of software instruments in a single box
just got better. Introducing Playback, a live-performance plug-in that turns
your Mac into a flexible, reliable backing track player. You also get a complete
range of drum sounds, synths and vintage keyboards. A powerful sampler. And the
world’s most advanced component modeling instrument.
Ultrabeat
This powerful drum synthesizer combines every available technology for
producing drum sounds with a self-contained pattern sequencer. It’s never been
easier to create original drum beats.
Back to
Top
Studio sound library.
A huge collection of Apple Loops, sound effects, sampled
instruments, impulse responses, presets and Soundtrack Pro music beds give you
more creative freedom than ever. There’s also surround content, so you can build
beautiful, immersive productions.
All six Jam Pack collections.
The Voices collection lets you build songs with lead vocals, rappers, backup
singers, an entire choir or even software instruments based on the human voice
and body. Remix Tools gives you everything you need to work with beats, sound
effects, synth sounds, bass lines and the rhythms of classic Roland drum
machines. Rhythm Section brings together a solid foundation of drums with sets
of fills, grooves and groove variations — along with dozens of playable strings,
basses and drum kits. Symphony Orchestra lets you conduct full brass,
percussion, string and woodwind sections. And the World Music Jam Pack gives you
an unprecedented collection of world loops, ethnic percussion, exotic strings
and regional wood instruments.
More than 20,000 Apple Loops.
Royalty-free Apple Loops let you build a rhythm, grab a melodic phrase or
simply sketch out an arrangement. Any loop you choose will automatically change
key and tempo to match your project. Real Instrument loops, also known as blue
loops, are integrated into your project as audio files and can be edited like
any audio region. And Software Instrument loops or green loops, allow you to
fully edit the instrument, effect and original MIDI performance. Apple Loops
give you plenty of creative fuel — you can even use Apple Loops Utility to
create and tag your own loops.
More than 1700 sampled instruments.
Logic Studio is packed with beautifully sampled EXS instruments. Build your
song with authentic strings, horns, woodwinds, guitars, pianos, basses, harp,
choir, synthesizers, electric and pipe organs, acoustic and electric drum kits
orchestral percussion, world instruments, textures and soundscapes.
More than 4500 presets for plug-ins.
You don’t have to be a sound engineer to take advantage of the enormous range
of plug-ins that come with Logic Studio. Just rely on the plug-in settings
(designed by sound engineers) to get great sounds right out of the box. Plug-in
settings can also speed up the production, mixing and mastering process if you
use them as templates for your instrument and effects combos and tweak them from
there.
Whether you’re creating audio for a web video or a feature-length film,
Soundtrack Pro 3 provides the perfect bridge to Final Cut Pro. The application
is loaded with powerful tools that let you make precision edits, polish dialogue
quickly, restore audio, create stunning sound effects and mix in surround. And
you can do it all in a single, streamlined interface that’s designed to help you
fly through audio post production.
Explore Soundtrack Pro 3
Advanced audio editing.
Customize your interface.
Soundtrack Pro brings the Multitrack Timeline and File Editor together in one
window, so all the tools you need are right at hand. Start with a simple
Timeline, then gradually reveal additional interface controls for more
sophisticated tasks. You can also easily customize your toolbars and screen
layouts, even when you’re working with dual displays. 
The right tools for the right edit.
Use the integrated multichannel File Editor to perform quick, nondestructive
edits and processing on any clip in the Timeline. Or open the standalone File
Editor for advanced controls. The Actions list keeps track of it all and lets
you modify, reorder, suspend or delete any edit or process at any time.
The Frequency Spectrum view shows you audio frequency over time, with
amplitude revealed through color intensity. Select a section with extreme
precision and adjust the amplitude or cut, copy and paste it without affecting
other sections.
Quick and simple navigation.
It couldn’t be easier to navigate Soundtrack Pro 3. New commands speed the
process of trimming, extending clips and adding custom fades. There are options
for playhead scrolling and shortcuts for auditioning changes. The Waveform Zoom
feature lets you look at low-amplitude audio clips right in the Timeline.
Support for Multi-Touch trackpad gestures allows you to zoom, toggle windows and
control playback without reaching for your mouse. You can even time-stretch
audio without affecting pitch, using three Apple time-stretch algorithms as well
as popular third-party plug-ins.
Fix audio, fast.
Soundtrack Pro analyzes audio files for common problems like clicks, pops,
hum and phase issues and lets you fix them individually or all at once. The
improved broadband noise reduction feature uses a high-resolution noise print so
you can get rid of unwanted noise, like wind and traffic, with greater
precision. You can also replace unwanted sounds with ambient noise duplicated
from another section of your file or from a different file. Soundtrack Pro
automatically matches the length and adds crossfades to make it all sound
natural. 
Truly easy audio conform.
Soundtrack Pro lets you automatically sync your audio track to changes in
your video edit. First, the Conform feature identifies changes in Final Cut Pro
projects, then lets you use confidence ratings and audition changes to decide
which ones to accept, reject or modify. Once you accept a change, Soundtrack Pro
repositions your audio to sync with the picture change or removes any audio
that’s no longer needed.
Design the perfect sound.
Find it, tweak it, spot it.
Get just the sound you want with more than 50 stereo and surround effect
plug-ins — including Space Designer, Delay Designer and Match EQ. And get
inspired by the Soundtrack Pro library, which includes more than 6000
royalty-free Foley sound effects and music beds, with over 1000 in surround. You
can also extend your collection with Audio Units plug-ins and third-party music
and effects libraries.
Once you have the sound you want, you can easily spot it to picture. Updates
in Soundtrack Pro 3 let you spot to playhead location or timecode value by
shifting clips across the Timeline. And an innovative three-up display shows you
frames for a clip’s start, sync and end points, so you can scrub back and forth
to identify exactly where to position your sound effect.
Professional surround mixes.
Everything you need for natural surround sound.
Save time by building your final mix right in Soundtrack Pro, with discrete
5.1 mixing, bussing and routing. An innovative surround panner dynamically
represents the location of sounds as you make adjustments. You can work with
surround-capable compressors, EQs, reverb and modulation plug-ins and also adapt
any mono or stereo effect for surround.
Need to deliver your project in both stereo and surround? No problem. Just
create the surround mix and Soundtrack Pro will generate the surround-to-stereo
mixdown using Dolby guidelines.
Compatibility.
Work seamlessly with other apps.
Soundtrack Pro is completely integrated with Logic Pro. Bring an individual
file into the File Editor to repair, restore or fine-tune it. When you save the
file in Soundtrack Pro, it will automatically update your Logic Pro project. You
can also score a project in Logic Pro, then send the music to Soundtrack Pro to
add it to the full mix.
It’s easy to share files with Final Cut Studio, too. Send a clip to the File
Editor or an entire sequence to the multitrack Timeline with a single click,
then send your final mix back in stereo, surround or multitrack stems.
With support for AAF and OMF files, you’re free to move projects to and from
other industry-standard applications.
You have your pick of hardware.
Record or output audio using any I/O device that works with Mac OS X Core
Audio. Connect an Apogee Ensemble or Duet and you can use the control panel in
Soundtrack Pro to remotely adjust the hardware.
You also have support for any surface that uses the Mackie Control or Logic
Control protocols. And new support for the EuCon protocol lets you connect any
Euphonix control surface, from the fully equipped Pro Series consoles to the
portable Artist
Series.
