Logic Pro review

Logic Pro is the most complete package a home producer on a Mac can buy for one fixed price. The US Mac App Store lists it at $199.99, and Apple also bundles it into Apple Creator Studio for $12.99 a month or $129 a year if you prefer to rent. The feature list goes well past the basics: six AI Session Players can add drums, bass, keys and percussion that follow your direction, Stem Splitter pulls up to 11 parts out of a mixed recording, and Live Loops lets you sketch ideas in a grid before moving them to the timeline. Flex Time and Flex Pitch fix timing and tuning, take folders with Quick Swipe Comping speed up vocal edits, and Mastering Assistant gets a mix ready for release. Apple also documents Dolby Atmos tools with ADM export for Apple Music. The limits are the platform, since there is no Windows version, and the lack of a free trial on the Mac App Store listing itself.
