Apple released an updated version of Logic Pro today, introducing all the new features that were previewed last week. New versions of both Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro were announced last Tuesday alongside new iPad Pro models, and the updates are available for Mac and iPad.
Logic Pro features new AI-based studio assistants to help artists create music, with options added to the Smart Tempo and Pitch Correction plugins. Session Players expands the drummer's capabilities in Logic Pro, with Apple adding a new bass player and keyboard player. Session players are able to follow the progression of a single chord using a global chord track.
With a new ChromaGlow feature, users can dial in the perfect tone and choose from five different saturation styles to add warmth, presence and punch to tracks, mimicking the sound of vintage analog hardware.
Audio files can be split into stems for vocals, drums, bass and other parts using the Stem Splitter feature. The purpose of splitting a track is to make it easier to apply effects, add new parts, and change the mix. There are also updates to the Sound Library, native audio and other features, with Apple's full notes available below.
