Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Logic Pro 7.2 gives you the ability to take full advantage of the next generation of Mac computers. You’ll also enjoy integrated support for the Apogee Ensemble FireWire interface, compatibility with Pro Tools HD 7 DAE, and project compatibility with GarageBand 3, as well as a complement of feature enhancements and improvements.

Universal compatibility
Logic Pro 7.2 is a Universal application, which means it’s designed to run natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs. Stay compatible as Apple continues to deliver new Intel-based systems.

Integrated support for new Apogee Ensemble interface
Logic Pro 7.2 offers integrated support for Ensemble, the new FireWire audio interface solution from Apogee Electronics, providing superb Apogee sound quality and mix-and-match expandability at breakthrough prices. Multiple parameters--including headphone level, metering source, output levels, and even microphone input gain--can be manipulated from a control panel within Logic Pro.

Digidesign Pro Tools HD 7 DAE support
Logic Pro 7.2 is fully compatible with the Pro Tools 7.1 version of DAE. All features are supported, including ESB and EXS24TDM. To install the required files, download and install Pro Tools 7.1cs4 from the Digidesign support Web site. Note: users of Pro Tools 6.9 and earlier must use Logic Pro 7.1 or earlier.

Serato Pitch 'n Time support
Purchase a special Audio Unit version of the legendary Pitch ‘n Time plug-in from Serato and you’ll have access to its extraordinary algorithms directly from Logic Pro’s Time and Pitch Machine or from the audio time stretch options in Logic’s Arrange window. This option renders rich and natural-sounding results, even at extreme settings.

Improved Rewire support
Logic Pro 7.2 provides support for stereo Rewire objects--and now clearly labels the incoming Rewire streams to reflect the source application. In addition, you can create Rewire objects directly from the Create Multiple option in the Arrange window.

Enhanced support for control surfaces
The Arrange window in version 7.2 provides visual indication of which tracks are currently active on the control surface. This is especially useful with supported control surfaces that do not provide LCD or other feedback information, such as the newly supported iControl from M-Audio.

32-channel support for multi-channel Audio Units instruments
Users of multi-channel Audio Unit instrument applications will appreciate that Logic Pro now has increased output capacity of up to 32 mono-channels.

Playback of compressed files
Logic Pro 7.2 allows you to play back AAC and Apple Lossless files directly--with no need for conversion. This feature ensures session compatibility with GarageBand 3 and offers great sonic quality with the convenience of smaller file sizes.

Access to new GarageBand 3-compatible plug-ins
Ducker offers automated voiceover volume reduction functionality, known as "ducking," on Output or Bus tracks. Speech Enhancer provides a simple option for cleaning up and enhancing recordings made with the built-in microphones.

New royalty-free jingles and sound effects Apple Loops
Logic Pro 7.2 includes the same Jingles and Sound Effects library that ship with iLife ’06. A dedicated Effects button in the Loop Browser makes it easy to view and filter this new collection of sounds. The library includes more than 200 sound effects and 100 jingles.

Product Description

The industry-leading application for music creation and audio production dramatically broadens the capabilities of computer-based studio environments with Logic Pro 7.

This review is from: Apple Logic Pro 7.2 Retail [OLDER VERSION] (CD-ROM)

LOGIC PRO's really a gift from the Gods... going beyond mere MIDI sequencing its your all in one at home sequencer, recorder, sound editor and music synthesizer... in other words, it does just about everything... and between "work", the plug-in synths are so FUN to play with. Even if you don't know much about sound synthesis just play with the buttons and knobs, then pretend you're in your own episode of Dr. Who or that your mind is being tortured and controlled by Space Aliens who like to carry the Mothers of Invention around in their vehicles... In fact, the plug-in manual is also a great introductory text book in elementary sound synthesis and how many classic analog/FM synths work and are used - - even there history. Yes, LOGIC has it all... in addition, its a stable program that runs on stable platform, hence if your computer is up to par with it no constant crashy-crashy / freezy-freezy... One catch though: as the price implies, its really not for dabblers... it does require quite a bit of study - - and if you don't have the time (or experience to figure it out and avoid the manual) there's lot's of other freeware/shareware type software out there that you can use - - they won't be able to do most of the stuff that LOGIC does, nor will you have to learn it, so the trade off is fair - - in addition, you won't get the incredible plug-ins - - including a whole room full of retro-synths and keyboards, including your own B3, complete with drawbars... and some mean sounding Clav, Rhodes and retro synths.

All in all, I think its amazing... this is a product that costs about half the price of a pro mix down at a studio... and definitely only a fraction of the price of many of the instruments who's sounds it can convincingly replicate you can use it to do the same - - the catch being that this program is no more efficient than the skills of the person using it... meaning if you have the time to REALLY learn it most people would say that Logic Pro *is* the way to go !
