Logic Pro X Gets Refresh for Upcoming Mac Pro

.......Apple today launched a new version of Logic Pro X, its music production and editing software designed for professionals. The new update includes performance optimizations that Apple says are designed to take advantage of the "groundbreaking power" of the upcoming Mac Pro.

Logic Pro X 10.4.5 now supports up to 56 processing threads, allowing music producers and film composers to work on demanding music projects with "unprecedented ease."

Apple says the Mac Pro with Logic Pro X 10.4.5 will allow pro musicians to do things that were never before possible. On the new Mac Pro, Logic Pro X can run up to five times the number of real-time plug-ins compared to the previous-generation machine.

Logic Pro X 10.14.5 increases the available track and channel count for all users, maxing out at 1,000 audio tracks and 1,000 software instrument tracks, a 4x increase.

The new software also supports 1,000 auxiliary channel strips, 1,000 external MIDI tracks, and 12 sends per channel strip. Apple has also improved the responsiveness of the Mixer and Event list when working with large sessions, as well as projects with multiple time edits and tempo changes. Additional features are highlighted below:

- The loop browser can filter by loop type and allows drag and drop of multiple loops into your project simultaneously.
- The redesigned DeEsser 2 plug-in provides more options to reduce sibilance on audio tracks.
- MIDI beat clocks can be sent to individual ports, each with unique settings like timing offset and plug-in delay compensation
Apple's announcement includes statements from several composers and producers who are excited about the new Mac Pro. "Black Mirror" composer Daniel Pemberton said time is "incredibly valuable" when working on scores for TV shows and movies, and that he's excited about the performance improvements coming in Logic Pro X 10.4.5 with the new Mac Pro.

Oak Felder, producer for Demi Lovato, Drake, and Alicia Keys, said that it's clear Apple is committed to the pro community.

"As someone who uses Logic for everything I create musically, I got a huge kick seeing all the performance tweaks coming in Logic Pro X 10.4.5. And the expandability of the new Mac Pro will give it longevity and a home in my studio for a long time to come. It's clear that Apple is committed to the pro community, and I love that they are really listening and paying attention to our needs." -- Oak Felder, producer for Demi Lovato, Drake, Alicia Keys and Rihanna

Logic Pro X 10.4.5 is available today as a free update for all existing users, and new users can purchase it from the Mac App Store for $200.

The new Mac Pro, and its accompanying Pro Display XDR, will be launching sometime this fall.

Sierra is no longer "good enough" for it now.

The WWDC demo of Logic Pro X on the new Mac Pro was pretty impressive - and I'm not even a user.

Hard to believe a lot of Beatles songs were recorded and mixed with 4 track audio.

Apple is kicking buts left and right regarding app coding efficiency, core awareness and such, all necessary elements for modern hardware and computing paradigm.
Other audio software still works around a muscle-car mentality, and I hate to think motu’s Digital Performer (my preferred DAW) would prefer to stop developing for mac.


Also, as much as they were pushing the envelope @theTime, the Beatles had to compensate tech limitations with...
wait for it...
Music!!

I use Digital Performer as well--wasn't aware (or had forgotten that) there was another user here on MRF!

I have a copy of Logic--I may need to try it out sometime. Not that I'm interested in switching, but always nice to have options.

I used Logic for a while back when I was doing demos for my band. Loved the interface, although I bet it's changed quite a bit since then. Would like to have an excuse to get back into it.

That’s the beauty of this forum haha...
I would not consider switching either, I get dog slow using anything else. And the software is top notch. I like it so much that I “got scared” years ago when Logic got the parallel farm-computer feature and motu did not take that route.
It turned out a fine decision, and when DP released the background rendering feature, it all made sense.

Yes, great interface and features since before Apple acquired it. Opcode Vision was good too... ah, the old good old times.

Anyway...
