Logic Pro Updates: Enhanced Stem Splitting, ‘Flashback Capture,’ and New Sound Packs Boost Music Production

Apple's Logic Pro just got a major boost for both Mac and iPad users! The latest updates bring innovative tools designed to elevate beat making and music production to a new level, focusing on enhanced audio fidelity, creative recovery, and fresh sonic inspiration.

One of the standout features is the updated Stem Splitter, which now offers even greater audio fidelity. Producers can now isolate guitar and piano stems with remarkable detail from existing recordings and demos. This powerful tool allows easy selection of common stem variations like acapella, instrumental, or instrumental with vocals using presets. Furthermore, a new submix feature simplifies exporting specific audio elements, enabling users to create instrumental tracks or custom remixes by isolating drums and bass.

Ever forgotten to hit record during an inspiring performance? Flashback Capture is here to rescue you! This ingenious feature allows artists to recover unforgettable MIDI and audio performances, even if they forgot to press record. Users can quickly restore these moments using a simple key command or a custom control bar button. When using Cycle mode, Flashback Capture automatically organizes each pass into a take folder, making improvisation and experimentation seamless.

For those seeking fresh sounds, Logic Pro introduces exciting new sound packs. Dancefloor Rush, the latest addition for Mac and iPad, features a dynamic collection of drum-and-bass sounds with over 400 loops, punchy drum kits, and a customizable Live Loops grid. Mac users also gain access to Magnetic Imperfections, which captures the raw essence of analog tape, and Tosin Abasi, showcasing progressive metal guitar with boutique amps, unique effects, and signature riffs.

Learn MIDI makes its debut on the iPad, enabling hands-on control like never before. Users can now effortlessly assign their favorite knobs, faders, and buttons on MIDI devices to control plug-ins, instruments, and automatable parameters within Logic Pro. The intuitive interface and real-time visual feedback make creating custom assignments a breeze, allowing musicians to stay in their creative flow.

Additional enhancements for Mac users include integrated support for Apple Intelligence's Writing Tools in the Notepad feature. This provides flexibility and control when writing expressive lyrics or collaborating on song projects. A new search and select feature simplifies managing large projects by making it easy to find and choose tracks by name or track number.

Logic Pro for Mac 11.2 and Logic Pro for iPad 2.2 are available now as free updates for existing users. New users can purchase Logic Pro for Mac for $199.99 (U.S.) on the Mac App Store or subscribe to Logic Pro for iPad for $4.99 (U.S.) per month or $49 (U.S.) per year on the App Store.
