Apple Logic Pro 7

This industry-leading application for music creation and audio production dramatically broadens the capabilities of computer-based studio environments with Logic Pro 7. The first choice of many prominent musicians and producers, Logic Pro 7 provides the most comprehensive collection of music creation tools, all for $999.00.

Unleashing the Next Wave
Logic Pro 7 features new instruments and effects, state-of-the-art loop composition tools as well as optimizations for the PowerPC G5 processor and Mac OS X, forming a highly productive system that will change the way you compose, record, edit and mix music in any studio environment. The latest version provides near unlimited processing resources through the simple addition of Macintosh computers.


Tap Into Greater Power
The new distributed audio processing feature in Logic Pro 7 offers a plug-and-play solution that provides the ability to tap networked computers for more DSP processing power. Simply add one or more Macintosh systems via Ethernet to your Logic Pro 7 system. The result is an audio and music production system with processing power that was previously unimaginable — up to 128 stereo streams.


Dynamic Creation
Innovative software instruments solidify the program’s outstanding sound generation capabilities — in the studio and on stage. These new options expand the already comprehensive array of instruments available, broadening the sonic potential of your Macintosh. Simulate any sound with breathtakingly natural timbre in Sculpture, a component modeling synthesizer. Create hypnotic rhythms using Ultrabeat, a beatbox with 25 voices and virtually unlimited parameter adjustment. Low-latency MIDI processing provides control over external sound devices, software instruments and effects.


Infinite Loops
Apple Loops browsing and editing enable you to time stretch and pitch shift audio files in real time. Apple Loops let you work more efficiently and provide better workflow than conventional file formats. When you insert Apple Loops in software instrument format onto a software instrument track, Logic imports them as MIDI sequences with the originating instrument and effect settings intact. This allows you to change pitch, instrumentation or effects — something you could only dream of with standard audio loops technology. Logic also uses this functionality when you import GarageBand compositions, preserving every detail as you migrate the sessions for editing and producing in a truly professional environment.
Stellar Performance

Delivers Excellence
Logic Pro 7 turns the Macintosh into a digital audio workstation that meets the highest demands for audio quality. It supports audio at 16- and 24-bit resolution and sample rates of up to 192kHz for both audio recording and playback of internal software instruments. Logic Pro 7 offers nine new effect plug-ins, including Guitar Amp Pro, for amp modeling. 32-bit floating-point mathematics provides enormous headroom for internal processing, making it nearly impossible to overload the signal — even during mixdown to 16-bit audio for CD release. In other words, Logic Pro 7 delivers excellence

 

These are our top Reasons to Upgrade to Logic Pro 7:


1.    Distributed Audio Processing
Logic Pro 7 provides a unique and powerful solution for expanding available DSP power by utilizing the resources of multiple Macintosh computers on a network.  The process is simple and requires limited user interaction or management. Simply run a small application called the Logic Node on networked computers and Logic Pro will immediately be able to tap those resources.  Logic Node comes free with Logic Pro 7 and can be installed on as many computers and desired.

2.    Apple Loops Support
Logic Pro 7 seamlessly integrates Apple’s cutting edge loop composition tools making it an even more powerful and versatile music creation tool than ever.  An enhanced version of the GarageBand Loops Browser window is available from within the application and all flavors of Apple Loops are supported. Finally, any existing audio can be conveniently converted to Apple Loops using the included Apple Loops Utility.

3.    Sculpture
Sculpture is now the most technologically advanced synthesizer in Logic Pro 7.  Based on component modeling technology, this new Logic Pro 7 instrument provides innovative sonic possibilities by re-creating how sound is naturally produced.  Given the flexibility afforded by its unique sound generation engine, Sculpture offers and extensive palette of sound that cannot be produced by any other synthesis technique.

4.    UltraBeat
UltraBeat is an innovative and powerful drum machine that features a comprehensive array of sound generation technologies in one software instrument.  Options include virtual analog sounds, FM and component modeling synthesis, and sample playback.  You can also build your own rhythmic phrases with the integrated, fully featured step sequencer.  UltraBeat is a brilliant tool for the development of expressive loops and is suitable for electronic music producers and remixers, as well as for many other different styles of music.


5.    Guitar Amp Pro
The Guitar Amp Pro plug-in enables guitarists to play their instrument through faithful re-creations of guitar amplifiers and speakers – directly in Logic Pro 7.  Guitar Amp Pro offers a wide range of legendary guitar amp sounds and a number of different speaker configurations that can be freely combined. Additional modulation effects- Vibrato and Tremolo – and a Spring Reverb section further increase the flexibility and convenience of Guitar Amp Pro.


6.    Mastering Plug-Ins
Amongst the 9 new plug-ins that ship with Logic Pro 7 there are 5 that are particular well suited for the mastering portion of the music production workflow.  First up is the Linear Phase EQ which manipulates the EQ curves of your audio signal without corrupting the phase.  Another powerful new EQ is the Match EQ, which can acoustically match two audio signals by transferring the frequency spectrum from one signal to another.   Finally, there are a set of professional metering and sonic analysis tools including a Third Octave Spectrum Analyzer, a Goniometer, and a Correlation Meter.

7.    Pitch Correction and Vocal Transformer
The Pitch Correction plug-in corrects improper intonation of vocal recordings.  It applies the desired pitch to a vocal track without losing the natural articulation of the performance.  While this use of Pitch Correction is a valuable tool for precise vocal work, the plug-in can also be used for expressive effects.  The Vocal Transformer allows you to manipulate vocal lines, percussive signals, or any other monophonic material in the a number of interesting ways.  It provides pitch change without disturbing the transients allowing you to, for example, transform vocals to a robot-like voice or increase the pitch of a vocal track until it becomes mouse-like.


8.    Over 100 Productivity Enhancements
The development of Logic Pro 7 has included a lot of focus on adding or improving features that make this version easier to learn and use.  In fact, there are over 100 enhancements will equate to a more streamlined and efficient workflow.  To begin with, the entire application has had a complete refresh of its visual interface, bringing it more in line with Apple’s standards for professional look and feel.   Features like Channel Strip save/load make it incredibly quick and convenient to transfer or recall complex Channel Strip effect and instrument combinations.  Shuffle Left, Shuffle Right, and Auto Crossfade edit modes expand the professional editing options in the Arrange Window as do menu selectable choices for defining the Snap grid.  Song Templates vastly simplify the process of restoring complete song and track setups and the list goes on and on.  New and existing users alike will benefit greatly from this exhaustive list of time saving features.


9.    GarageBand and Jam Pack Compatibility
Logic Pro 7 can now import GarageBand songs directly.  All instruments, Apple Loops, and effect settings are transferred completely intact allowing the professional to utilize Logic Pro’s more extensive feature set to take the session to the next level.  In addition, Logic Pro is completely compatible with the growing line of GarageBand Jam Packs, expansive software instrument and Apple Loops collections that provide top-of-the-line quality at an affordable price.

10.   Content
Logic Pro 7 ships with over 1000 Apple Loops, 1300 Channel Strips and 1100 Sampler Instruments.  The sampler audio files represent over 3.4gb of audio files.  This extensive collection of content underlines Apple’s dedication to making Logic Pro the most complete music production workstation ever offered in one box.

11.   WaveBurner
Any of you who used WaveBurner for OS9 in the past knows what a great application it was. Well, it is now back, included with Logic Pro 7!.
