As with previous upgrades since the launch of Logic Pro X in 2013, it was once again free for existing users, and newcomers will be charged the very reasonable price of £199.99 $199.99 for the entire package. The screenshot in question showed a version of Logic featuring what looked like two GarageBand-inspired features - Live Loops and Remix FX - portending what could be expected in a forthcoming upgrade.ĭespite the toothpaste being out of the tube, Apple remained silent until May 12th when I found myself downloading the newly released Logic Pro 10.5 from the App Store. This time, however, a major new release wasn't quite so unexpected, thanks to a screenshot that had briefly appeared on Apple's web site at the end of March. Part of this can be attributed to nostalgia, but mostly it's because Apple never pre-announce such a release: it just shows up on the App Store, accompanied by a press release and an updated web page.

I always get a slight frisson when Apple release a major new version of Logic Pro X.

Logic Pro X 10.5 introduces a raft of new features and remains exceptional value for money. There's the traditional Tracks Area (on the top-right), where regions of musical data are represented by rectangles based on their musical length, and the new Live Loops grid (shown above, middle), where individual musical ideas that generally work well as loops are stored as cells within that grid. The Project window can now display two different views, either together or individually.
