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!.
