Apple has been unleashed the power of Logic Pro X in the latest update for music production software. The Logic Pro X (ver. 10.5) has new Live Loops, Remix FX, and some other changes. The most interesting feature in the Logic Pro X includes Live Loops, which is only available in the Garageband for iOS.
“With Live Loops on the Mac, Logic users can now create music in new freeform and nonlinear ways. Loops, samples, and recordings can be organized into a new musical grid, where musicians can spontaneously perform and capture different arrangement ideas into the timeline. From there, tracks can be further refined using all of the professional production features in Logic.“
Users can use Logic Remote App to their iPhone and iPad on Live Loops and Remix FX with Multi-Touch gesture support.
