Logic Pro 10.7 Released

[emasters]

At $199 and regular free major upgrades, it’s pretty much always on sale

Agreed - used to have Cubase and paid twice a year for upgrades (minor and major). Paid for Logic once, and that's it. Really is an incredible value in terms of the long-term perspective.

I’m pretty disappointed in this update. The changes are welcome, and I get the urgency from Apple’s perspective to add Atmos support. But there’s nothing here for more creative uses of modulation, generative composition nor any fixes to the long-term annoyances like stacks & folders, draggable mixer tracks etc etc etc.

The Alpha Waves pack of Apple Loops and instruments that was added is superb. Had first tried them out on Garageband for iOS and was very impressed. Was surprised they hadn't been added to Logic at the same time, but now that they are, I highly recommend giving them a look.

The inability to have a midi controller on a specific track was one of my long term annoyances which was addressed.

Also, the Step Sequencer now has real-time recording (notes and CC) and Midi regions can be converted to Sequencer regions. That opens up some creative modulations options. Tweaking parameters in realtime into the Sequencer is excellent!

The inability to have a midi controller on a specific track was one of my long term annoyances which was addressed.

Specifically Logic pre 10.7 could not differentiate between MIDI ports, only by channel. It meant hooking up a sequencer like Beatstep Pro to it and attempting to play on an MPE instrument was previously impossible or hindered. For someone like me with multiple MIDI controllers around the place it was a no go. especially when DP, Bitwig, Live, Cubase etc. etc. have no issue with multi port MIDI input.

Anyway it's solved, but if you only use one main MIDI keyboard and maybe a control surface, you're not going to notice the limitation. I have a Launchpad MK3, Linnstrument, Seabord Block, Beatstep Pro, and MPK88 so I definitely noticed it.

Somewhat of a derail... Just want to say how nice it is to read a thouhtful Logic-users thread without being overwhelmed with adverts like I experience at the 'logic pro help' forum. I thought about placing some masking tape on my screen to hide the eternal video ads, but I've just decided to rarely visit.

Didn't realise there were new Alchemy and ES2 patches too - good stuff

For some reason Apple releases their sound packs first on Garageband then it makes its way to Logic eventually.

I think Steinberg develop new features in Cubase before integrating them in Nuendo, too.
