What’s new in Logic Pro for iPad 1.1
Mastering Assistant
Mastering Assistant is an effect plug-in that offers a quick and easy way to add final professional polish for a release-ready mix. Mastering Assistant, which is available in the stereo output channel of a project, analyzes the audio and fine-tunes the sound through dynamic adjustments, frequency balance corrections, and timbre enhancements. See Mastering Assistant overview.
Quick Sampler Recorder mode
The Quick Sampler plug-in features Recorder mode, that lets you create instruments and drum kits by directly recording audio with the built-in microphone or a connected audio input. You can set when recording starts and turn on monitoring to hear the signal while recording. See Recorder mode in Quick Sampler.
Interact with other apps using Split View and Stage Manager
Move seamlessly between Logic Pro and other apps with added support for Split View and Stage Manager.
Add multiple audio files using drag and drop
Select and drag multiple files from the Files app to quickly build drum kits or add stems to a project. See Import media.
Preview multiple patches, loops, or samples in the Browser
Quickly preview multiple samples, loops, or instruments in the Browser by touching and holding a Preview button, then dragging up or down. See Overview of patches, Add Apple Loops to your project, and Work with samples in the Browser.
32-bit recording
You can record in 32-bit depth (floating point) with a compatible audio interface. The advantages of 32-bit recording are that you can later remove digital clipping that occurred during the recording later by lowering the gain of the audio region, and that you can increase the gain of recordings made at a low level without increasing the noise floor. See Recording settings.
New content, including in-app Lessons and sound packs
Logic Pro features new Lessons covering a broad range of topics, including the Mastering Assistant, Sample Alchemy, and Beat Breaker plug-ins, beat making, automation, sound packs, and Play Surfaces. Two sound packs are now available: the Hybrid Textures sound pack contains 70 patches as well as over 80 Apple Loops featuring Sample Alchemy. The Vox Melodics sound pack contains a diverse collection of over 475 lyrical phrases, hooks, layered harmonies, FX, and one-shots.
