Powerful MIDI Creation

With a rock-solid timing engine, exceptional quantization features, and a wealth of MIDI production tools, Logic Pro is the gold standard for creating and editing MIDI-based music. You can edit performance characteristics for each region independently while monitoring the results in real time.

Optimized Mixer Views

Two new options let you easily see the signal flow routing in the Mixer. In the Arrange view, you can choose a setting—Add Signal Flow Channel Strips—to see not only the channel strips assigned to tracks, but also the auxiliaries and outputs used as send or routing destinations for each track. In the new Single view, you see just the channel strip for the selected track, along with the auxiliaries and outputs used as send or routing destinations for that track. Focusing on the signal flow of one track at a time allows you to mix with greater efficiency and control.
