Seemingly Unreleased Version of Logic Pro X With Live Loops Appears on Apple's Education Site [Updated]

The amazing support for Logic and Final Cut makes me *so* sad Apple discontinued Aperture support. To this day, there is no better photo organizer/editor.

On one hand this seems very interesting - I definitely want to try it, but on the other I can't help but feel like they're neglecting some of the key areas that in my opinion need improvement. The mixer in Cubase absolutely puts Logic's to shame, and there's some ridiculous longstanding bugs that this update will hopefully fix.

Things like issues with delay compensation, the poor interpolation and late modulation, and just general automation awfulness. I hate to be that guy, because for many years I didn't believe it but having seen and heard evidence to prove it Logic genuinely is noisier than other DAWs the moment you start using things like automation, and this really, really needs fixing.

By noise do you mean the little static clicks that appear when the processors get overtaxed?

This would be a great addition. I hope it’s true.

I think they realized that no one would be buying third party OEM apps via iOS if they had Aperture to work with from Apple. This drove an explosion of growth and applications by 3rd party OEMs and Apple got huge hardware sales. Win/Win.

I grew up on Cubase Windows and about 10 years ago went all Mac and Logic. I don’t regret the move. What’s interesting is if you know and have followed Cubase you can go to the iPadOS App Store, look up Cubasis, and immediately see its Cubase heritage from the screenshots.

I am hopping that we are getting a wife of Logic 11 - We are 27 months out from a substantial update - They are so dark with their development - I'd be just happy to know that some big tweaks are coming EVEN if it's months from now... yet we wonder.

So innovative!

Also, the method for accessing Audio FX is like a bad joke -- a tiny strip of dark grey against a grey background. I know Apple can do better than that.

Exactly. More focus on function-based design over form-based design is needed. The time for fashion-fad grey/white/dark white adherence is more than over.

I love Apple's way of giving its users a sneak peak...

Sneak peek. It's not a mountaintop.

I bet it will require the latest Mac OS which rules me out

I always wondered why they dropped it after so much effort put into it. I’d gladly pay for an updated version, but also suspect everyone moved on long ago and people willing to go back to aperture, should they update it, are a tiny, tiny fraction of the user base it once had. And that user base maybe wasn’t all that big, to begin with.

Nice!

Now, if they also threw in the Beat Sequencer of Garageband iOS: even nicer!

This bugs me a lot. I have to update my 3 Mac computers to make them on parity.

Here's hoping that they decouple it from the Mac version

Indeed. I slowly lost interest in professional photography after Aperture was discontinued and no one could measure up to it’s incredible organisation and workflow.

Please God let there be an iPad version of Logic soon.
