New in Logic Pro 8!
A thoughtfully redesigned Logic Pro 8 makes it easier than ever to translate musical inspiration into professional productions. A range of powerful, easy-to-use features puts sophisticated tools at your fingertips, and complete surround support lets you make incredible, immersive music.
Next Generation Interface With Single-Window Design
The Arrange window in Logic Pro 8 consolidates production activities in a single, elegantly-designed workspace. You can record multiple takes; cut, move, or stretch audio with sample accuracy; browse channel strip settings; audition Apple Loops; and drop chords onto your lead sheet—all from one central space, without managing multiple windows.With the new Arrange window, all edit and browser windows are consolidated into a single, efficiently designed workspace featuring shortcut menus and customizable toolbars. So you can write, record, edit, and mix — all from one location without navigating a maze of windows.
Simplified Setup
Production-ready templates, a streamlined track setup window, and dynamic channel strip creation get you up and running fast. Improved ReWire support provides easy integration with other music applications.
Effortless Multitake Recording
Region-based take management speeds up multitake recording, editing, and processing. An expandable take folder makes it simple to recall overdubs, and entire take folders can be moved and edited like regions. Logic Pro 8 provides a streamlined track setup window that lets you create and record-enable multiple tracks instantly. Work efficiently with features like seamless punch recording and input monitoring for listening to audio tracks that are not record-enabled. CAF file format support allows you to record extended-length projects of up to 6 hours at 96kHz.
Quick Swipe Comping
Region-based take management speeds up multitake recording, editing, and processing. An expandable take folder makes it simple to recall overdubs, and entire take folders can be moved and edited like regions.Breakthrough Quick Swipe Comping dramatically streamlines the process for building the perfect track. Just swipe over the best portions of each take of an overdub or multitake recording and a seamless comp is created — complete with transition-smoothing crossfades. Multiple comps and autosave let you experiment with performances and ensure that your work is never lost.
New Audio Editing Tools
Work faster and with greater precision using powerful new features like snap-to-transient selection, graphical time stretching, and sample-accurate editing in the Arrange window. Improved audio editing features give you incredible flexibility and sample-accurate precision directly in the Arrange window. Graphically stretch and compress regions with click-and-drag simplicity. You can perform destructive edits on multiple noncontiguous regions and tracks using the built-in editor or an external sample editor such as Soundtrack Pro 2.
Surround Mixing And Processing
Logic Pro 8 allows for end-to-end surround production with multichannel tracks and busses. True Surround and multi-mono support lets you use any surround, stereo or mono plug-ins within any surround project.
Portable Preferences
Save your key commands, channel strip settings and plug-in settings to your .Mac account for easy backup, sharing, and portability.
Compose To Picture
Advanced music-for-picture features make scoring and sound design easy. Flexible video display options let you view synchronized QuickTime movies directly within the interface or choose to display on a separate monitor using various output options, including Digital Cinema Desktop. You can also locate scene changes visually via a thumbnail track, or automatically mark transitions with the scene detect option.
XSKey-Free Operation
A simple serial number replaces the USB dongle and lets you make music without the hassle of extraneous hardware.
