What’s new in Logic Pro for Mac 11

Session Players: Bass Player and Keyboard Player

Bass Player and Keyboard Player join Drummer to provide a set of Session Players you can use to create professional, nuanced performances that are in sync with each other and responsive to your control. Each Session Player’s performance can be edited using a variety of performance controls, and all can follow common chord progressions to deliver realistic musical interplay. See Session Player overview.

Bass Player provides a set of bass players covering a wide range of styles, from Motown to Indie Disco, with intuitive control over performance factors.
Keyboard Player provides a set of keyboard players covering a range of playing styles using newly sampled acoustic pianos, with intuitive control over performance factors.

Studio Bass and Studio Piano plug-ins

The Studio Bass plug-in contains six newly recorded bass models inspired by the bass guitars found on countless recordings, with intuitive controls for palm mutes, articulations, and more. See Studio Bass overview. The Studio Piano plug-in contains three newly recorded piano models with multi-microphone volume adjustment and controls for pedal noise, key noise, and sympathetic resonance. See Studio Piano overview. The Studio Bass and Studio Piano plug-ins are optimized for use with the Session Players, but they can also be played and recorded independently, just as like other instrument plug-ins.

Global Chord track and region chords

You can add chords to a Logic Pro project and have the Session Players in the project follow the chords, playing in sync harmonically. When you edit the chords, the Session Players’ performances change to reflect your edits. Session Player regions can have their own chords, allowing the region to play when no chords exist on the Chord track, or to play different chord extensions, scales, and fills from regions following the Chord track. See Intro to chords.

Many Apple Loops also contain chords, and many Apple Loops designed to be used together share compatible chords. Apple Loops containing chords are indicated by a glyph in the Key column in the Loop Browser.

Control transposition with the Pitch Source parameter

You can control the transposition of regions and loops in a project using the Pitch Source parameter in the Region inspector. Different region types have different Pitch Source options, including following key signature changes and following the chords on the global Chord track. See Control transposition with the Pitch Source parameter.

The Pitch Source parameter replaces the Transposition track used in earlier versions of Logic Pro. When you open a project created in an earlier version of Logic Pro, the Transposition track is still available.

Extract stems from an audio region with Stem Splitter

Using Stem Splitter you can separate a stereo audio file, such as a band recording, into stems for vocals, bass, drums, and other instrumental parts and use the individual stems on different tracks in your project. Use Stem Splitter to recover moments from demos or unfinished projects and use them as a basis for new ideas. See Extract vocal and instrumental stems with Stem Splitter.

ChromaGlow

Use the ChromaGlow saturation plug-in to add warmth and vintage character to your mixes by simulating analog audio hardware and overdriven circuits. You can choose from five saturation models to create both modern and vintage saturation. See ChromaGlow.

Route MIDI internally using Internal MIDI In

You can route and record the MIDI output of a MIDI effect plug-in or software instrument plug-in on a software instrument track to a software instrument track in your project using the Internal MIDI In track parameter. This is similar to using aux sends to route audio internally from a track to a receiving track, in addition to sending it to the main output. You can also tap the MIDI signal from different points along the MIDI signal path of a software instrument track (similar to tapping the signal from different points in the signal flow in an aux send). See Route MIDI internally to software instrument tracks.

Dolby Atmos enhancements

You can now edit Downmix and Trim metadata for discrete monitoring. The edited metadata is written to ADM BWF files on export, and will appear when creating projects from existing ADM BWF files. You can choose from several algorithms and adjust parameters used when the Dolby Atmos mix is rendered for different speaker layouts. See Downmix and trim controls. Also, when using the 5.1.2 monitoring format in the Dolby Atmos plug-in, you can use compatible surround receiver to monitor your Dolby Atmos mix.

New Producer packs

The Kount Producer pack features sonic explorations with meticulously crafted drum kits and loops from The Kount’s vast collection of percussion, rare instruments, and unique sounds. The Corey Wong Producer pack shows his passion for classic funk with tight rhythm guitars, deep bass grooves, smacking drums, and blazing horn lines for a collection of loops and playable drum kits. The Hardwell Producer pack includes everything from signature kick drums to custom Alchemy patches and drum loops from Hardwell’s released tunes. You can download these and other sound packs using the Sound Library Manager. See Manage Logic Pro content.

Other features

Move, extend, and resize marquee selection using key commands: Logic Pro includes key commands for marquee selections, including commands to move, extend, and resize the marquee selection as well as to add tracks to it or remove tracks from it. See Select parts of regions and Key commands for Main Window Tracks and Various Editors.
Additional Force Legato key commands: Logic Pro includes two additional Force Legato functions as key commands as well as menu commands. “The Trim Note End to Following Notes (Force Legato) with Overlap” and “Trim Note End to Selected (Force Legato) with Overlap” commands are available via the Key Command Editor. See Resize notes in the Piano Roll Editor.
Real-time bounce for external instruments: When bouncing a project in place, Logic Pro now supports including the output from external instruments, the I/O plug-in, and external inserts in the bounce. When the Automatic Mode option is chosen in the Bounce dialog, Logic Pro determines whether to perform the bounce in real time or offline, depending on whether channels contain plug-ins requiring a real time bounce. See Bounce a project to an audio file.
Input monitoring for software instrument tracks: You can use input monitoring on software instrument tracks as well as on audio tracks. On software instrument tracks, input monitoring is useful for playing multiple tracks simultaneously, or when used in conjunction with MIDI Input and MIDI In Channel settings to play a software instrument with an external source independent of the focused track. See Use input monitoring with tracks.
WAV now default recording format: The default format for recording is now WAV, which allows for longer recordings without interruption and provides increased compatibility with third-party audio products.
