Logic Pro 11.1 is Here! You'll DEF Want to Update

[@mattiastofte7457]

I love how I bought this software 5 years ago, and I still get major updates, new plugin release and probably will for another decade:D

[@April480p]

That's the only real reason why i like Apple. If you're going to buy something from them, it'll generally last you for a decade. Computers, phones, software, everything i ever bought from them is still fully functional, even when some of these things are nearly *twenty* years old. Hell, i still use a 1st gen iPod Nano from 2006 on a daily basis, and it still has full software support, even in the most recent MacOS versions (i only had to replace the battery, because of the whole "exploding" issue, and even then i did it just to be safe, because it was working perfectly fine).

[@nathanaelnicol1256]

I hear ya! I’ve been on Logic Pro X since 2013 and the updates just keep working lol 😂

[@FLH3official]

Well, do we realy "buy" Logic? It's price is half the price the other DAWS in the same league, no, we buy the dongle to use it, and this dongle is a Mac 😁

[@aperfectsong13]

Ive been using since 2009 LOL, Logic 8 back then. Go watch a video of specifically Logic 8, it's truly insane how much has been added for literal free since my initial purchase.

[@aidenjwalker]

This update is lowkey better than the last one. I haven't touched the dumb AI musicians since it came out. Plugin search on the other hand will get used ALL the time.

[@coldacre]

the upgrade to the Software instruments in 11 was massive. the drums sound better and the guitar tones a significant improvement. I dont use the virtual drummer / bass / key players either, but I do put my own drums in on the piano roll.

[@PaulHofreiter]

Plugin search is huge for new users too - it will help a lot with getting people into Logic. It can really take a while to know where to find things and now it will be much more intuitive, and for those of us who do know where to find things it will be a good time saver for sure

[@alexbreyer6921]

Well it's a lot better because these are things the community has asked for for years. And lots of convenience things that make the software a better experience. Those prior updates are amazing tools, but since we didn't have that before it wasn't being missed.

[@realitybeatslivedrumchanne8261]

Agreed. Plug in search is a game changer. AI musicians suck. Plus a new reverb

[@jklight3795]

Man I waiting plugin search for 25 years. And now I'm absolutely happy because I moved from this apple bs app (emagic originally) to real world application - S1. The main problem - Logic developers don't make music in own Logics. I have not idea how to explain that Logic looks like toy versus Cubase or S1 in everyday using.

I know we all froth over whatever software we have but... Logic is so good. I started in Sonar, then PT then Logic. I tried Ableton, reaper, Acid, but nothing compares to the ease of logic and I'm not forever having to reach for my credit card. Love the search for plugin feature and the new reverb looks sweeeeeet!

[@missoats8731]

Very true. I was kind if thinking about switching DAWs and started doing some research. Turns out I just didn't know Logic well enough and basically all the other ones lack crucial features that I thought were standard by now. Plus most other ones are pricier (without free updates) and have an ugly impractical UI. I'm a firm believer in Logic now.

[@jsample7543]

I have both logic and cubase. It feels like every logic update is something cubase already does.

[@Surgeeon]

I started on cubase then went to ableton but I’m making the jump to logic this year. I just hope they copy the browser window from ableton because I’m going to miss how easy that drag and drop system is for vsts / instruments and samples

Great! Nice step in the right direction. Can't wait until I can make deeper layers of summing folders!

I’m ACTUALLY excited after seeing this video. The best channel for Logic Pro info!!!

[@PaulHofreiter]

yeah this channel is GOATed for sure. no nonsense - popped up on my feed right after I got back from rehearsal. harder and harder to find good channels like this.

[@fenomenoider4]

that "freeze" feature I've been looking for for ages!! Also the ability to rearrange the mixer is a long expected feature. I'm so happy right now...

[@PaulHofreiter]

Yeah you can get very creative with that kind of thing. Ive had an EH Freeze pedal for years, and some sounds you would never guess what the origin was. Really cool to see features like that being implemented

[@alexbreyer6921]

Logic's Chroma Reverb has always had freeze.

[@forthegospel21]

Arranging tracks in the mixer view is nice, it almost made me cry. However, to be fair, you could arrange mixer tracks with the same result before already, just from the tracks view, not from the mixer view. You were able to add aux channels to the mixer/arrange them by enabling the read mode, so that it becomes visible in the tracks view. Really cool features in this update though.

[@SousaphoneMusic]

i was thinking you could do that already right? but then i remembered the convoluted workaround needed. crazy this wasn't a thing until now.

[@jellyjacobbazooka7867]

[@brianknight8195]

This is gonna save me hours in editing and mixing! ❤

[@AndrewCleaton]

It's great that you can re-order the channels in the mixer. However, my long desired feature is that I want to be able to order my channels differently in the mixer and main project window. For example, the project window, I might want my lead vocal at the top and drums at the bottom but in the mixer I want drums on the left and vocals on the right. This might seem like a small thing but it would really help the way I think about about my arrangements and my mixing - which are very different processes. As far as I'm aware, Digital Performer is the only DAW that enables you to "de-couple" the mixer order from the arrangement order.

[@lavalizard1]

Fabulous summary. Oh wow - these are great changes - I love the new momentum Logic has across Mac and iPad (I use both). The track/bus rearrangement feature is a freaking revelation. OMG… I’ve been waiting forever for this.

[@chriswftdj]

Really happy as again as a logic user. Thought they had lost their way abit awhile back. Big up for the video

[@ifiwantyoutofeel]

Yup looks like Logic 11 will infact have more and better updates

[@teespence365]

Great update and perfect timing as it followed the underwhelming NI Maschine 3 upgrade. Being able to rearrange the mixer tracks is a huge improvement. Then they added the plugin search on top of that. This is amazing!

[@Unibabble]

I bought Logic a few months ago, and the inability to move aux channels in the mixer view was literally a deal breaker for me - it drove me nuts. I'm old school, I want my mixer view arranged a certain way, no matter what order I create tracks, and that functionality exists in every other serious DAW. And not being able to directly search for plugs in the channel strip would have been the second deal breaker! Happy to see they've both been fixed, now I can give this a serious tryout.

[@justinjayankura8676]

Finally!!! ive been telling Logic for awhile to be able to arrange tracks in mixer window. That's one of the reasons I went back to Pro Tools.

There wasnt any reason to update to logic 11 before but the new search plugins are huge.

I was a big plug search user, just as you are I’m sure.

[@monst3rmachin3productions12]

I've had Logic for at least 15 years, but when Studio One 5 came out I was hooked. The QoL options are just too good. I think if Logic really wants to improve, they have a perfect example of QoL improvements that they could add to Logic as well as coming up with the nuanced unique capabilities. Like they have with this update by adding the bitrate/buffer size instantly editable from main screen. This forward progression would make me use it again. I think they know this as some of these improvements come straight from Studio One. For example the ability to move mixer tracks and search anything has been available in Studio One for a while. Still nothing that would make me come back to Logic yet except that I think I'll make use of that Beat Breaker plugin.

Great update. I wish they would do something about the incredibly limited filter and LFO inside Logic's Sampler, it really cripples using Logic as an all-in-one DAW.

[@ifiwantyoutofeel]

Not really, it's mostly pointless

[@tapedrone]

@@ifiwantyoutofeel What's pointless?

[@petegleadall5785]

Can't you just use an external filter and or LFO - like soundtoys? Or use Kontakt - many options out there - and that "cripples" usage??? Not for me or the vast majority of users imho

[@tapedrone]

@ because a filter or LFO after the instrument isn't the same thing as inside the instrument. Just about every sampler going back to the early 1990s has a filter per sample, Logic has a filter per entire instrument. You're saying why not use Kontakt? If that's the case why include Logic's Sampler in the first place? People who use samplers need the filter and modulation capabilities in the instrument design, per sample/zone is the norm and Logic's is a very peculiar design in that you can have 127 samples spread across the keyboard but they're all affected by the same LFO/filter. I didn't say Logic is crippled I said that using it as an all-in-one is because the rest of Logic is very capable and having to use Kontakt takes away from that, especially when half the industry is trying to ditch Kontakt.

This is what should have been the Logic Pro 11 update. The last update was a serious joke. Finally, features I craved for are finally in Logic, especially the search function and rearranging the mixer... These features kept me away from using Logic for mixing. I may now reconsider.. I hope in the very near future, they can fully separate Record Enable and Input Monitoring. Just cannot understand why Record Enable automatically activates input monitoring.. Yet there is an Input monitoring button right next. I have to keep turning on and off the Software Monitoring function under settings, especially when recording vocals. But all in all, this is a welcome update. As soon as I saw the first feature, I hit the update button! Awesome!

The last update was amazing? Just most of it was niche or under the surface. The amount of drum kits, presets, loops, and the Mastering Assistant for creating fast demos and rough masters was incredible?

Thanks! Great review. And now for Logic 11.2 which will use all cores in a processor. And Logic 12 that will use the GPU cores.

[@ghost-user559]

Logic can already use all the cores? You just need to go into settings and say “all cores”? But if you do that, and a plugin has a memory leak or glitch then the whole computer could freeze or crash, instead of just Logic or the Plugin.

[@MikeHageman]

@ Correct. But that only counts for the performance cores. Not the efficiency cores. So like with an old M1 processor you can only use the 4 performance cores for plug-ins and instruments processing. Not the 4 efficiency cores. And yes, each performance core has 2 threads, you can all select in Logic to be used. So in case of the M1 SOC only 8 threads. The M4 Pro 14-core has a better P/E ratio: you can use its 10 performance cores in Logic. It would be nice if we can also use the efficiency cores for DSP processing like in Reaper or Cubase. And maybe later all GPU cores which in music production are almost unused (except when you connect 3 8K monitors. 😀

[@mantis834]

Nice update! My next wish is that they do something about the colours, ie: give us the option to colour-code the entire strip of the track. Like if I want red - or whatever colour - for all my drums, don't just give me red regions and a tiny little strip at the bottom of the track in the Mixer or in the Inspector. Just give me a nice, translucent red that goes all the way through, from the Inspector->into the timeline and region, just like a few other DAWs already have. Enough with that dated, boring grey.

[@wakinglife7065]

Agreed! Many musicians are neurodivergent and colors are the way they can organize their mix. My go to is alway red for kick, orange for snare, yellow for cymbals, purple for bass, green for guitar, pink for piano and the best blue for vocals. This makes it o much easier for me to quickly figure out what’s what. Colors are so important.

[@ifiwantyoutofeel]

Holy moly! Some really great changes! I'm glad they aren't focusing on the AI gimmick...the only "AI" thing I have used is an "AI" vocal program, which isn't really AI but rather a type of voice synthesis. You program notes just like any other synth, and you have to babysit phonemes as well as phrasing and consonant placement so there isn't much "intelligence" to it unless it is from the user. THAT is what I would like to see Apple work on if they are going to force AI into updates and take time away from good features like what this update has. Put the gimmicks in Garageband if they want but focus on giving us professional tools. Otherwise, I hope they keep it rolling with the kinds of improvements we see in this update! Very glad to see it.

[@missoats8731]

Well it is intelligent, because it has to decide how the specific voice would sound if it would sing a specific phoneme on a specific pitch in a specific length at a specific tempo. Not an easy task. The problem is that this process typically needs a lot of compute which is why these programs usually need an internet connection to do the work in the cloud. Not sure if apple really would want to integrate something like this into Logic. Would be really neat though.
