The Evolution of Logic Pro X

Since I began my journey in Audio, The First DAW i got familiar with was ProTools HD 11. While this is known as one of the best Audio Workstations for recording, I came across many people that were only comfortable with Logic Pro X. Seeing many of my friends work on this DAW, I wanted to learn more about what this software had to offer. This DAW has been running steady for about 21 years. Logic Pro X was launched on July 16th almost 4 years after Logic Pro 9. At one point of time this DAW was a boxed product and only became available to download about two years ago ! All loyal users of Logic Pro were both amazed and puzzled to see the new generation of this DAW, but were apprehensive of whether this interface would be use-friendly. This new generation DAW was designed and influenced by Garage Band, previous Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro, unlike the rumours that claimed it would just be a Pro Garage Band.

Apple's ownership over this DAW not only enhanced the interface by adding additional menu's like Record, Mix and View but added various advanced tool modes that include Tempo, Marker and Event Options. These also come with an array of functions that include mixing in surround, Scoring, MIDI, Surround Mixing and advanced editing options. In Terms of Making Tracks, Logic Pro X , now allowed users to select multiple tracks at one time. This can also be done by using a handy shortcut, just like how you would normally do to select something on the Finder. Command and Click can be used to select various tracks while the same with shift can be used to select the tracks in between. Another interesting addition to the Logic Pro X is the Virtual Drummer. This Virtual Drummer will enable you to provide drums for your session by alloying specific parameters. This Virtual Drummer is includes the very own work of top professionals drummers in the industry and many recording engineers. One of the key Producers, Mixers that played a major role in this feature of Virtual Drummer is Bob Clearmountain.
