What Logic Pro is
Logic Pro is Apple’s music creation app for Mac and iPad, covering beat-making, songwriting, recording, editing, mixing, and remixing. It records and edits MIDI and audio, with tools such as Live Loops, Flex Time, Flex Pitch, and Quick Swipe Comping. Apple describes Session Players, ChromaGlow, Mastering Assistant, Stem Splitter, and Chord ID as features built on Apple Intelligence; Stem Splitter separates mixed recordings into drums, bass, vocals, guitar, piano, and other instruments. Logic Pro also includes Dolby Atmos tools and exports ADM files for Apple Music and other streaming services. Projects can move between the Mac and iPad versions, and integrations include Voice Memos, Logic Remote, GarageBand projects, and XML workflows for Final Cut Pro. It supports multitrack editing, MIDI sequencing, third-party plugins, noise reduction, and video synchronization. Apple lists requirements of macOS 15.6 or later with an Apple silicon Mac, or iPadOS 26 or later with an iPad using an A12 Bionic chip or later. Plans include a 30-day trial; listed subscription and standalone options vary by device and eligibility.
