why "OS X 10.12 or later" ? Is 10.11.6 such a vintage crapware ? I could understand a special update for the new APFS of 10.13 but between el Capitan & Sierra what is the point ???

Best and very affordable mastering tool. Yes, mastering tool because I don't like the workflow for creating music. Ableton Live is much better for doing this.

Just like GarageBand, this no Longer works in Mavericks. Drag.

Using Logic from its early years and still do up to today. Cheapest pro level DAW but certainly the most powerful. Cheers

Hey all, I wanted to get some feedback here from those who have used LogicX before buying. I play the guitar and I would have a music related use for it. However in most cases I would want it more for as an audio editor and production app to go with final cut and other editing tools. I currently own a copy of Amadeus Pro, and that's a great editor as well. That's why i am asking if I would be wanting to use logic for something it wasn't intended for, and I should stick with the editor I have, or if Logic will be of any use for regular audio editing. Thanks

If you are a serious musician and like to record your songs, you must have this application!

Finally I have a macbook pro. And finally I can use Logic again. Long time ago, when it was available for windows, it was my fav recording software. Apple bought Logic and I was forced to use cubase but it never came any close to what logic can do. Excited times for me. A new OS and Logic back in the studio.

This new version is AWESOME. And I mean A_W_E_S_O_M_E. I was waiting for this a very long time and I urge every Logic 1 to 9 owner to update now. It even more stable compared to 9 and has so many new great feature it is a blast to use. I was so close to jump the Ableton Live train but Logic Pro X made my day ! Thank you Apple for the best Logic ever.

Let us all "watch the way they go" for just a moment and share our pertinent observations. Watching the act of self-serving greed that serves no one may, in the end, be instructive. I recently purchased Logic Pro v9. To get v10, I will have to uninstall v9. I will also have to pay another 199.99. If I DO uninstall v9 and find v10 wanting, I am not permitted to re-download v9, which I now legally own, as it is "no longer available at the US App Store." Such dulled brilliance in the minds of self-anointed aristocrats whose only accomplishment will be the end of any form of trust between consumer and corporate atrocity is in itself a marvel, a feat worthy only of the lowliest of thieves. I will no longer EVER use the app store for anything except updates, and of those I shall be particularly wary. I was a long-time Mac devotee. I am no longer. Such small-minded, ham-fisted pilfering aimed at those who made a company great (we, the users) is not only an act of unbridled greed, but also an act of heinous treachery. Unless of course we are witnessing some huge merger, meant to create a monolithic monopoly of unknown power and proportion. In either case, I quit. I will have computers built to my own specifications in future. I cannot watch "the way they go" as I can no longer afford it. Nor can I stomach it.

I eed some advice. . . I am a pianist. I want to make "beds" for my piano, using my Rodes microphones and analog hardware to record the piano parts after I complete the "frameworks" on my Mac Pro. I may record direct to my Mac but believe I will need some sort of modular interface to do live recordings not using all digital instruments. I may want to do piano, bass, and drum tracks and then import them into the DAW that I choose (with your help). I was set on Logic Pro. Now I see Logic Express at the same price. Are these upgrades or full programs? Which is a better program? Should I move towards Ableton or Cubase? I've used Cubase and I get somewhat confused. Any other ideas? I'll consider any suggestions (on this topic), and thank you in advance for your expertise and your time.

This totally kills hyper-threading support for 2010 Mac Pro's. You should expect to loose 40% performance. Weakest update ever. Make a 9.1.1 backup or be sorry.

The 8.0.2 update screwed up my Audio/Instrument Library. Especially Ultrabeat and some beat-audio-files of my projects seem to be missing. Unsure if this is a specific problem in my case, yet, if anyone experienced similar symptoms plz report.

This isn't a review, but rather a question as to why this update will no work for me. In fact, Logic Pro 7 will absolutely not work on my Powerbook. I've tried many forums and discussions and cannot figure this out. Logic Pro 7.0.1 crashes on launch - every time. Dongle is in and works fine (tested it on a different system to confirm). Then when I tried to run this updater (7.1.1) the installer tells me that there is no eligable app in the applications folder. Yet Logic is in there. Does anyone have a clue as to what's going on? Naturally I don't have time to re-install my OS. I'd really like to use this app I paid a thousand dollars for. Apple won't help, even though it's an install/launch issue. They said it's "beyond their support agreement". The application is brand new. Powerbook works fine in every other way, with all other applications. thanks, mateo

I bought Logic 6 when it came out, and was not really that impressed- however after buying Logic 7 I really am impressed with it. 1) Better interface/ more modern The interface is clunky and slower than Logic 6. Apple obviously just added more code on top of the original thereby just more processing cycles for the same operations. Plus it looks like crap. Just use the OSX file dialogues for God sake. Soundtrack looked like hell and now Logic does. 2) Multi-tonal scale support for ALL logic plugins When's the last time you wrote something using microtones - especially in a sequencer with electronic instruments? Priorities, priorities, priorities. 3) Professional mastering plugins ??? I would hate to hear your "professional" music. The Multiband Limiter still destroys the stereo image during the master process. Huge(!) phasing issues. Granted this goes back to Emagic, but Christ, fix the bugs before you add a bunch of crap no one uses. 4) Lots of presets 5) Contains Waveburner, a CD Red Book creation program Waveburner does not work. Period. Too many bugs. It's joke. 6) 3 completely new soft synths which bought separately from any other company would cost at least $500 each. Really? Spectrasonics stuff cost around $300, is ten times better than this Apple crap, and I already own it. Priorities, priorities, priorities. Fix the program before adding a bunch of crap. Really, when one considers all of the above, and countless more which I have not mentioned one just has to be impressed with what the program is- where it is going- and how much it is sold for. Yeah right...Still no sample accurate resolution in the arrange window, an amzaing plethora of bugs, a crappy, clunky new interface, still no latency-free capatibilty with PCI based DSP cards. Lots of bells and whistles, but nothing of import. It all comes down to looking at products intelligently- in Logic's case, there is no one music production solution which is as integrated with both hardware- and software- I mean come on! Logic is now becoming one with the Mac- we have not seen this much integration since Notator on the Atari!! Apple sucks. Tech support calls are now $200 per incident. Give me German tweakheads over greedy America assholes anyday.

Update went smooth, no problems there. Still, my first session resulted in a crash within 30 minutes!! My system is extremely stable otherwise and I have nothing but validated plugins that work without any problem in Digital Performer 4.5. Logic 7 has so far been NO FUN!

Thanks Apple and Emagic just bought 6.4.3 last week.......ha...ha...great joke ! spent a load of monay on your software............and now you want 299 dolar ( 160 GBP) upgrade.....what are you thinking.......outragous.......
