Production Tools - In addition to the snazzy new features listed above, the refreshed Logic Studio also introduces a host of substantial production tools designed to improve overall performance and control. The other new plug-in is Loopback, which functions as a common looping station that enables musicians to record a live track and add new layers to that track with each subsequent pass of the loop (Loopback reportedly functions similarly to the EchoPlex tape-based loop device that was popular in the 1970s). It’s aimed at solo performers looking for hands-free on-the-spot integration of backing vocals or music. Playback does what it sounds like, playing back pre-recorded tracks when triggered with a USB or MIDI controller. Going Live - MainStage, Logic Studio’s live performance program, gets two new plug-ins for expanded performance options. #Apple mainstage live looping update#The update introduces a feature called Amp Designer that enables guitarists to mix and match 25 different amp models with 25 different speaker cabinets, and to record the resulting setup with one of three different virtual mics.Īdditionally, users now have access to 30 stompbox effect pedals via the Pedalboard feature, and can combine as many as they please to create dense and complex guitar tones.įinally, with support for Apogee GiO, users can control Pedalboard hands-free via a new USB audio interface and control device in both Logic Pro 9 and MainStage 2 (an essential feature given that guitarists usually have their hands full). Guitar Gods in Mind - One of the main aims of this upgrade is the expansion and improvement of guitar tone virtualization. Undoubtedly these sorts of corrective tools will have musicians from past eras grumbling, but they’re sure to please today’s struggling amateurs. For example, if your guitar player nailed his solo but was a little off-tempo somewhere in the middle, you could target just those notes that fall off the beat, and put them where they need to be. Chief among these tools are Flex Tool and Audio Quantize.įlex Tool enables you to drag and push portions of the waveform audio anywhere you please while avoiding the tedious and aggravating splicing normally required by such a task.Īudio Quantize lets you conform an audio region to a musical grid or other track to correct or improve its rhythmic qualities. Saving Time and Energy - Logic Pro 9 adds a set of features collectively called Flex Time that is designed to save you time and effort by simplifying complex timing and tempo editing. While Apple boasts of over 200 new features, a handful of those make Logic Studio’s refresh notable. The latest version includes Logic Pro 9, MainStage 2, Soundtrack Pro 3, Compressor 3.5, and WaveBurner 1.6.
