PRESS RELEASE
Logic Pro takes music creation to the next level with new AI features
Session Players, Stem Splitter and ChromaGlow make Logic Pro for iPad and Mac smarter than ever
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today introduced the all-new Logic Pro for iPad 2 and Logic Pro for Mac 11, delivering revolutionary professional experiences for songwriting, beatmaking, production and mixing. Powered by artificial intelligence, the new Logic Pro introduces incredible studio assistant features that improve the music-making process and give artists help exactly when they need it – 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, for extracting and working with separate parts of a single audio recording; and ChromaGlow, for instantly adding warmth to tracks. Logic Pro for iPad 2 and Logic Pro for Mac 11 will be available in the App Store starting Monday, May 13.
“Logic Pro gives creators 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. “New AI-powered updates to Logic Pro, combined with the unmatched performance of iPad, Mac and M-series Apple silicon, give creative professionals the best music-making experience in the industry.”
Session Players: A custom AI controlled party
Session Players offer innovative experiences for creators by providing a personal, AI-driven group that responds directly to feedback.1 Drummer took the music creation industry by storm when he debuted as one of the world’s first generative musicians over a decade ago. Today it gets even better with key improvements and the addition of a new virtual bassist and keyboardist. Session Players enhance the live performance experience while ensuring artists are fully engaged during every phase of their music-making process.
Bass Player has been trained in collaboration with today’s best bassists using advanced AI and sampling technologies. Users can choose from eight different bass players and direct their performance with complexity and intensity controls, while using advanced parameters for slides, mutes, dead notes and pickup kicks. Bass Player can jam along with chord progressions, or users can choose from 100 Bass Player loops for new inspiration. With Chord Track, users can define and edit chord progressions to a song, and the virtual bass player will follow them perfectly. Plus, with the Studio Bass plug-in, users gain access to six new, precisely recorded instruments, from acoustic to electric – all inspired by the sounds of today’s most popular bass tones and genres.
With Keyboard Player, users can choose from four different styles designed in collaboration with top studio musicians and created to accompany a wide variety of music genres. Keyboard Player can play anything from simple block chords to extended harmony chord voicings – with almost endless variations. Like Bass Player, Chord Track adds and edits the song’s chord progression so Keyboard Player follows. Using the Studio Piano plug-in, users can choose additional sound shaping options, with the ability to adjust three microphone positions, pedal noise, key noise, release samples and sympathetic resonance.
Stem Splitter: Restore great records
Most musicians perform at their best without the pressure of a formal studio session. These moments are often found on voice memo recordings, an old demo tape, or captured from a live show. Listening back, these recordings can reveal magical performances that are nearly impossible to recreate, rendering them lost in time. Now, with Stem Splitter, an artist can recover moments of inspiration from any audio file and split almost any mixed audio track into four separate parts: drums, bass, vocals and other instruments, right on the device.2 With these split tracks, it’s easy to apply effects, add new parts, or change the mix. Powered by AI and M-series Apple silicone, Stem Splitter is lightning fast.
ChromaGlow: Dial the perfect tone
ChromaGlow models the sounds produced by a mix of the world’s most revered studio hardware, using AI and the power of M-series Apple silicon.3 Users can dial in the perfect tone with five different saturation styles to add ultra-realistic warmth, presence and punch to any song. They can also choose from modern clean sounds, nostalgic vintage warmth or more extreme styles that can be shaped and shaped to taste.
Powered by iPad and Mac
Since its introduction last year, Logic Pro for iPad has been quickly adopted by creatives. Designed from the ground up to take full advantage of touch, Logic Pro transforms the iPad into almost any instrument imaginable, and thanks to the iPad’s portable design, it becomes a full studio experience on the go. With the power and performance of Apple’s silicon, musicians can execute complex multi-track projects, create custom software instrument sounds, use a full-featured professional mixer, and explore the app’s vast collection of effects plug-ins.
Working between iPad and Mac is easy with a two-way project, allowing users to make music on the go and continue to refine their project when they return to the studio.
