Apple:

Apple today unveiled a major update to Logic Pro X with a professional version of Live Loops, a completely redesigned sampling workflow, and new beat-making tools.

Just one example of the new tools Logic rolled out:

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.

And:

Logic Pro X has been optimized to take advantage of the latest Mac hardware and the power of macOS, delivering incredible performance when working with the most demanding projects with thousands of tracks and hundreds of real-time plug-ins.

If you use Logic Pro X, spend a few minutes reading Apple’s press release. There’s a lot of new stuff to play with. Better yet, jump to Apple’s Logic Pro page. There’s a ton to absorb.

Props to Apple for keeping this a free upgrade.

Side note: I wonder what is meant by “latest Mac hardware”? Does this include the new 13″ MacBook Pro? The picture in the release shows the Mac Pro, released last December. Hoping the optimizations apply to the later laptops too.
