FULL STORY ======================================================================

Whether youre a singer or songwriter, in a band, a musician, or a podcaster, there is a good chance that you use Logic Pro on the Mac or iPad to produce, edit, and eventually export. Apple gave Logic Pro a significant upgrade in
May alongside new iPads and truly infused it with AI in the form of session players.

Now, though, with Logic Pro for Mac 11.1 and Logic Pro for iPad 2.1, Apples expanding on some core capabilities and adding a plugin with some historical significance at least in the music industry.

A bevy of new features, led by the Quantec Room Simulator plug-in, are
rolling out today as a free update for both platforms. First, a bit of a history lesson on the Quantec Room Simulator its built from the original documentation and algorithms of the physical piece of hardware created by Wolfgang Buchleitner, which enables a distinct and accurate reverb
adjustment. Its been used by countless artists, including Peter Gabriel, who uses it at live shows for building harmonic drones and on records including Passion and Us . (Image credit: Apple)

Apple essentially acquired the tech to rebuild the Quantec Room Simulator as
a plugin thats now included with Logic Pro for Mac and iPad. This lets you
add natural-sounding effects to anything be it spoken word, music, or even foley sounds. There are two routes for using it: one that is more vintage and one that is updated modern.

Beyond the Quantec Room Simulator plug-in, Logic Pro is getting Reorder Mixer Channels that allow you to rearrange various strips individually or in
groups. You can also add your own personal sounds on the iPad via Sample Folders, which can pull from connected storage, the Files app, or iCloud Drive. You can now more easily search for plug-ins on the Mac thanks to a new categorization. These are some handy additions that should let you make the most of Logic Pro, either by using the built-in tools or pulling from other sources.

The Quantec Room Simulator will also be one to try out, and of course, a
Logic Pro update wouldn't be complete without some new sounds. To fill that need, Apples also adding a Modular Melodies Synth Pack at no additional cost.

Of course, if youre new to Logic Pro for Mac or iPad, there is a cost associated with it. On the Mac, its a one-time purchase of $199.99 in the United States, and on the iPad, its either $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year. These updates are now rolling out with Logic Pro for Mac 11.1 and Logic Pro for iPad 2.1.
