Apple has announced the release of an update to its Logic Pro music production software, bringing breakthrough professional experiences for songwriting, beat-making, producing, and mixing for the Mac and iPad editions.

Powered by artificial intelligence, the new Logic Pro introduces incredible studio assistant features that augment the music-making process and provide artists help right when they need it — all while ensuring they maintain full creative control.

These features include Session Players, which expand the popular Drummer capabilities in Logic Pro to include a new Bass Player and Keyboard Player; Stem Splitter, to extract and work with individual parts of a single audio recording; and ChromaGlow, to instantly add warmth to tracks.

“Logic Pro gives creatives everything they need to write, produce, and mix a great song, and our latest features take that creativity to a whole new level,” said Brent Chiu-Watson, Apple’s senior director of Apps Worldwide Product Marketing.

“Logic Pro’s new AI-backed updates, combined with the unparalleled performance of iPad, Mac, and M-series Apple silicon, provide creative pros with the best music creation experience in the industry.”

Logic Pro for Mac 11 is available as a free update for existing users and for $199.99 USD for new users on the Mac App Store. Logic Pro for iPad 2 is also a free update for existing users, and available on the App Store for $4.99 USD/month or $49 USD/year, with a one-month free trial for new users.
