Emagic’s Logic
Audio Platinum is the most widely used application of its kind in professional music
production. It elegantly combines composition, notation and audio production
facilities in one comprehensive product.
Logic lets you compose,
engineer, mix, remix and produce tracks with a seemingly limitless set of tools.
Logic is well-known for its rock-solid MIDI timing and synchronization, and its
ability to mix and automate with total recall. It also gives you non-destructive,
real-time editing of both audio and MIDI tracks.
Logic has superb MIDI timing capabilities weighing in at 960 PPQN, and the app can send and receive
synchronized MIDI clock, MTC, MMC and word clock signals, making it an ideal DAW
(digital audio workstation) for film, TV and video post-production.

Total Recall Mixing
and Automation
Logic’s Arrange window introduces a refined track-based automation system,
displaying automated parameters with full names and values for fast and optimal
control over even the most complex automations, making software mixing both easy and intuitive.
Logic Platinum’s elegant new automation system
seamlessly handles the mixing of audio and MIDI data, and calculates edits in
realtime, including quantization, transposition, note length changes and more.
You can zoom, solo or mix individual tracks, and create and recall markers
to quickly jump over to any location within your song, and any
production notes you have made for that section.
Logic lets you easily resize, solo, mute, loop and mix audio and MIDI objects in
real time within the Arrange window, without ever stopping the sequencer, without
ever stopping the sequencer.
Plug-in Processing
Logic’s fully automated effects system offers a fabulous new Channel EQ,
with up to 8 sends per channel, each of which may address one of the available 64
busses, and up to 8 insert effects per track. Sends and inserts are also
available for audio instruments, live inputs and auxiliary busses.
Logic Platinum
includes over 50 built-in effects that can be used on audio tracks, live inputs,
virtual instruments, busses, auxes and outputs. Logic and also fully supports
Audio Units plug-ins. Logic’s mixing system (including all plug-ins) operates at
32-bit float resolution, eliminating signal overloads and giving you superb audio
quality.
Hundreds of Customizable Key Commands
Every Logic Platinum song offers up to 90 screensets (customized combinations of
edit windows). Each screenset recalls the type and size of window to be opened,
the window’s positioning within the screen, as well as the zoom settings you
have specified for audio or MIDI tracks with the custom-formatted window.
Logic features hundreds of customizable key commands — including Mac or MIDI
keyboard shortcuts for almost every program function. So you can tailor it to fit
your work style, by changing the default shortcuts to match those
of the sequencer of your choice.

Logic Devotees
“The EXS24 sampler became quite an exciting thing for me on the last
record,” says godfather of electronic music Rick Smith of Freur/Underworld.
“It’s fun, straightforward, easy-to-use, and you get instant access to
this vast library of stuff that always used to take hours to load up when we used AKAI. Now
they seem really sad, compared to the way that the EXS24 works.”
“I use Logic Audio and I use the TDM plugins running off of the Pro Tools
hardware in Logic,” says godfather of dub electronica, and mastermind of the
breakbeat Jack
Dangers (Meat
Beat Manifesto, Tino
Corp). “Logic is definitely the best sequencer around. Some people
started out on StudioVision and moved over to Pro Tools, but I’ve always
been a Logic user. I use Logic because it’s a lot quicker, more intuitive
and it’s faster.”
Sound designer, composer, remixer and sonic warlord
Richard Devine was summoned to L.A. to score two Nike
commercials on set, using just Logic, a PowerBook and some headphones. “I had to fly out
to Universal Studios,“ he says. “I did the whole thing in Logic Audio with another software
sampler, Native Instrument’s Battery — it was completely done on that. It was
just crazy,” he recalls.
