- Apple has just left a fairly large upgrade to Logic Pro for Mac and iPad
- The flashback capture will manage the recording even if you do not start it
- The stem separators earn more features, and a little Apple intelligence arrives in this creative tool
Apple was on a roller with Logic Pro on the Mac and the iPad – In 2024, the technology giant inaugurated several features fueled by the AI, including an impressive rod separator, and now, for the first major update of 2025, you could say that it runs at 11.
The Mac and iPad improvements management is a new tool that will save your brilliant plug, even if you forget to press the recording button. Beyond that, Stem Splitter is an even more powerful tool, and Apple Intelligence arrives within the functionality of the long-standing notebook.
So let’s start with the capture of flashback – this is a renamed “recording of capture” and an expansion of its capacities. Whether you are a logic professional or may be simply upgraded to garageband, you have probably experienced this when you start scratching on a guitar, singing a few chords or playing another instrument – the strikes of magnitude, but you forget to hit the disc. This feature has the potential to be a life buoy, as it automatically captures your performance before receiving a recording.
With a button press, you can then make it appear on your chronology. As part of its brand change, Flashback Capture now works with any MIDI source – or, more precisely, with any audio source. It also works if you play something while listening to another piece of your chronology – when the inspiration is hit, whether you start or not, you start to record, the flashback capture saves the day. This update is now available for Mac with Logic Pro 11.2 and for iPad with Logic Pro version 2.2, both available.
The always popular stem separator, which uses AI to analyze an audio file and separate the instruments or the voice into individual tracks, receives an improvement. Previously, he could separate voices, bass and drums in separate tracks while placing other potential elements in a piece called “other”.
Now Apple adds the possibility of recognizing the piano and the guitar, while also promises better audio fidelity. This should be quite useful, but if you have a Klaxon section in your group, these wonderful brass instruments will always live in the song “The other”. There will also be presets to choose, including a cappella, instrumental with voices, or simply instrumental. The stem separator will still be only available on Mac and iPads with Apple silicon inside, especially the M1 or more recent chip.
Although there is an AI and an automatic learning, Apple also incorporates the integration of writing tools. Essentially, the notebook tool inside the Logic Pro will now have a dedicated button for writing tools, allowing you to take advantage of Apple models or Chatgpt intelligence to help expand words, potentially.
If you like new sound packs, Logic Pro on Mac wins magnetic imperfections and Tosin Abasi, while the iPad version obtains the brand new rush to dance. The latter offers here alchemy patches and hundreds of loops, all on the theme around the drum and bass. It looks a lot like summer pop and should be fun.
Finally, for Logic Pro on iPad, Learn Midi arrives and will help you understand these physical control devices with a minimum of previous experience. Essentially, you can connect a MIDI device compatible in your iPad via USB-CC, then assign a function in Logic Pro to physical control, such as a button. You can personalize the experience of your exact needs, and as they evolve, you can adjust your configuration accordingly.
The best news, however, and by continuing Apple’s past improvements to the software suite, it is that if you have already bought Logic Pro for the Mac or subscribe to Logic Pro for iPad, you will get all these new features for free.
Apple does not increase the cost either. Logic Pro for the Mac is still a unique purchase of $ 199.99 / 199.99 £ / 299.99 $ in and Logic Pro for iPad is $ 5.99 / £ 4.99 / $ 7.99 in or annually at $ 49.99 / £ 49.99 £ 59.99 at.
In addition, you can always get a free one month trial on the iPad or a free 90 -day trial on the Mac for logic.
