Apple Introduces Logic Pro X 10.5, The Most Significant Update Since Its Launch

Apple today announced that its music production software Logic Pro X received the most significant update since its launch. The software is updated today to version 10.5, bringing a professional version of real-time looping called Live Loop, a completely redesigned sampling workflow, and beat-making tools.

“The Mac and Logic Pro X are essential tools used by the world’s top musicians and producers to create the music that we all love,” said Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Apps Product Marketing. “Logic Pro X 10.5 represents the biggest update to Logic since the launch of Logic Pro X, with powerful new tools that will inspire every artist — from those just getting started with Logic, to those already using it to produce Grammy Award-winning albums. We can’t wait to hear what these artists create next.”
Live Loop enables users to organize looping, sampling, and recording into a new music grid. From there, all professional production features in Logic Pro X can be used to further refine the audio track. RemixFX comes with a collection of electronic effects that can be performed in real-time on a single track or the entire music mix, thereby enhancing Live Loops.

Logic Remote is a free companion app that allows users to pair an iPhone or iPad with their Mac to control and perform Logic features and instruments using Multi-Touch. Logic Remote is receiving a major update to allow triggering of sounds in Live Loops, browsing and adding loops, and applying Remix FX to a session.
