Create your own music using an advanced spectrum of features
and tools for computer based music production. Logic Express provides
a step up from GarageBand for aspiring musicians, producers and composers
without breaking the bank. With the same flexible layout as Logic
Pro, you can dive deeper into the creation and manipulation of audio
and MIDI, for just $299.
Logic Express lets you produce a convincing demo of your
band, create a remix of your favorite track or score QuickTime movies.
This affordable virtual studio integrates a rich feature set for both
music and audio production in one application. In addition to the
Apple Loops you’re familiar with from GarageBand, you’ll
enjoy the wide variety of software instruments. These provide, for
example, faithful emulations of vintage keyboard classics as well
as synthetic sounds, ranging from digital to virtual analog. Composers
and music theory teachers will also appreciate the full-featured score
editor.
Professional Multichannel Recording
Record a complete band in Logic Express with seamless integration
of professional multi-channel audio hardware. In contrast to GarageBand,
this enables you to record up to 12 instruments, voices, environmental
sounds, effects and more at the same time. Then you can tweak each
of these tracks with hyper-precise editors. High resolution audio
of up to 24-bit/96kHz, the adaptive self-configuring track mixer as
well as 32-bit floating point math provide pro sound quality.
Grow Your Own Loops
Aspiring remixers and electronic music composers can’t live
without loops. Logic Express offers the familiar Apple Loops browser
of GarageBand, hosting a multitude of Apple Loops. Browse quickly
through the largest libraries simply by specifying instrument, genre
or mood. Preview them instantly at your song’s tempo and pitch.
Logic Express configures the channel strip automatically for Apple
Loops on software instrument tracks. What’s more, you can construct
your own Apple Loops from conventional audio files such as recordings
or bounced phrases produced with software instruments using the Apple
Loop Utility.
High-Quality Software Instruments and Plug-Ins
For in-depth sound creations, the range of synthesizers provided in
Logic Express proves itself as a priceless resource. Offering a richer
set of parameters, they feature precise control on every single shade
of the sound. Seamlessly integrated in the Track Mixer, you can effortlessly
record and edit parameter changes.
The stylish, accessible FM synthesizer EFM1 creates a wide range of
digital sounds that characterized the music of the 80s. Generating
the sounds from frequency modulation technology, you can play crystal-clear
bells as well as deep bass or string pads. The virtual analog beast
ES1 provides sounds to enrich every production — from massive
basses to rich pads or ultra-sharp percussion. Plug-ins like EQ and
Reverb provide precision treatment of your sound. Others, such as
the Autofilter and Guitar Amp, invite you to experiment wildly.
Total Score
Songwriters can produce impressive demo songs by incorporating audio
recordings, sample-based sounds and virtual instruments entirely on
the computer. But users will find it easy to share compositions with
other musicians in a traditional way with Logic Express as well, since
it now houses the full-featured score editor from Logic Pro, for simply
stunning results.
