The biggest update to Logic since the launch of Logic Pro X – and it’s a free update!

Features, Updates

According to Apple, Logic Pro 10.5 is the biggest update since Logic Pro X shipped in July 2013. (That’s seven years of free updates!) From the press release,

Apple today unveiled a major update to Logic Pro X with a professional version of Live Loops, a completely redesigned sampling workflow, and new beat-making tools. With its collection of powerful creative features, Logic Pro X 10.5 will be a massive release for all musicians, including those producing electronic music.

This support page (What’s New) describes the new features and links to more detailed pages about each, while this support page (Release Notes) details changes in New Features, More Content, Other New Features/Enhancements, Stability/Reliability, Performance, Accessibility, Mixer, Flex Time and Flex Pitch, Smart Tempo, Alchemy, plug-ins, Drummer, Automation, Apple Loops, Key Commands, ARA, Score, Undo, Takes/Comping, Dynamic Plug-in Loading, Export/Bounce, Import, Smart Controls, Fades, Articulations, Control Surfaces/MIDI Controllers, Global Tracks, Track Alternatives, Track Stacks, Editing, and General. I had no idea that list was that long when I started it.

I hope to get to know the new major features soon and post about them, most notably the new samplers and the Live Loops. If so, you’ll see those articles here on this site.

The new manuals for Logic Pro X should be available as an update from the Apple Book Store, if not now then soon as reports are that some have downloaded them already.

Logic Pro X 10.4.5 Update

Updates

This week, Apple released the Logic Pro X update that was shown at WWDC 2019. This version takes advantage of the upcoming Mac Pro with support of up to 56 processing threads, 1,000 audio tracks and 1,000 software instrument tracks.

“Additionally, Logic Pro X now supports 1,000 auxiliary channel strips, 1,000 external MIDI tracks and 12 sends per channel strip. Users can also expect improved responsiveness of the Mixer and Event List when working with large sessions, and projects with numerous Flex Time edits and tempo changes perform more efficiently than ever.”

I can’t imagine ever needing anything close to this amount of power, but it’s nice to have some extra headroom, eh? More information here, full release notes here, and of course get the update at the App Store.
