Logic Pro is Apple’s flagship application for music creation, found in many professional music studios across the globe. It is a powerful digital audio workstation that comes with all the software tools that you need to create music that sounds great. In the previous version, Logic Pro 10.5, Apple had added impressive features to what was already a full package of tools, loops, FX plug-ins, and software instruments. Providing a comprehensive introduction if you’re new to Mac computer music creation, this practical guide will show you how to use Logic Pro and have you up to speed in no time. You’ll not only understand what Apple’s Logic Pro software can do but also get hands-on with using it to accomplish various musical tasks. The book starts by getting you up and running with the basic terminologies. As you progress, you’ll explore how to create audio and MIDI musical parts. To build on your knowledge further, the book will guide you through developing an automated mix. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to bounce mixes and audio files for distribution. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with Logic Pro and have the skills you need to create professional-quality music.

A brief look at the Step Editor

One of the most common complaints I hear from Logic users is that we cannot see multiple automation lanes in the Piano Roll editor. Logic Pro has another editor that does allow it, but for reasons I cannot understand, people have not taken to it.

In earlier versions, before 10.6., you would have seen it where you now see the Step Sequencer tab, but it has been devalued and now you must find it by going to the Window menu:

If it intrigues you, then it is well explained in the manual.
