Live LoopsFor spontaneous composition.
Live Loops is a dynamic way to create and arrange music in real time. Kick off your composition by adding loops, samples, or your recorded performances into a grid of cells. Trigger different cells to play with your ideas without worrying about a timeline or arrangement. Once you find combinations that work well together you can create song sections, then move everything into the Tracks area to continue production and finish your song.
Remix FX
Bring DJ-style effects and transitions to an individual track or an entire mix with a collection of stutters, echoes, filters, and gating effects.

Key commands
Create at the speed of sound with key commands in Logic Remote. Choose from curated commands for popular workflows, or create your own custom set.
Sampler
We redesigned and improved our most popular plug-in — the EXS24 Sampler — and renamed it Sampler. The new single-window design makes it easier to create and edit sampler instruments while remaining backward compatible with all EXS24 files. An expanded synthesis section with sound-shaping controls brings more depth and dynamics to your instruments. The reimagined mapping editor adds powerful, time-saving features that speed the creation of complex instruments. Use the zone waveform editor to make precise edits to sample start/end, loop ranges, and crossfades. And save hours of tedious editing with new drag-and-drop hot zones.
Quick Sampler
Quick Sampler is a fast and easy way to work with a single sample. Drag and drop an audio file from the Finder, Voice Memos, or anywhere within Logic Pro. Or record audio directly into Quick Sampler using a turntable, microphone, musical instrument, or even channel strips playing in Logic Pro. In a few steps, you can transform an individual sample into a fully playable instrument. And with Slice Mode, you can split a single sample into multiple slices — perfect for chopping up vocals or breaking up and resequencing drum loops.
Drum Synth
This powerful but easy-to-use plug-in creates synthesized drum sounds. 3d model generator online. Choose from a diverse collection of drum models and shape their sound with up to eight simple controls. Drum Synth is also directly integrated into the bottom of the Drum Machine Designer interface — giving you a focused set of sound-shaping controls.
Drum Machine Designer
Redesigned to be more intuitive and integrated, Drum Machine Designer lets you effortlessly build electronic drum kits. Apply individual effects and plug-ins on each discrete drum pad to experiment with sound design and beat-making in new ways. You can also create a unique layered sound by assigning the same trigger note to two different pads. To help you quickly edit sounds, Quick Sampler and Drum Synth are directly integrated into the Drum Machine Designer interface.
DrummerCompose to the beat of a different percussionist.
Using Drummer is like hiring a session drummer or collaborating with a highly skilled beat programmer. Create organic-sounding acoustic drum tracks or electronic beats with the intelligent technology of Drummer. Choose from dozens of drummers who each play in a different musical genre, and direct their performances using simple controls.
Compositions and PerformancesYour studio is always in session.
Logic Pro turns your Mac into a professional recording studio able to handle even the most demanding projects. Capture your compositions and performances — from tracking a live band to a solo software-instrument session — and flow them into your songs.
The ultimate way to record.
Seamless punch recording. Automatic take management. Support for pristine 24-bit/192kHz audio. Logic Pro makes it all easy to do — and undo. You can create projects with up to 1000 stereo or surround audio tracks and up to 1000 software instrument tracks, and run hundreds of plug-ins. It's all you need to complete any project.
Get the most out of MIDI.
Logic Pro goes beyond the average sequencer with an advanced set of options that let you record, edit, and manipulate MIDI performances. Transform a loose performance into one that locks tight into the groove using region-based parameters for note velocity, timing, and dynamics. Or tighten up your MIDI performances while preserving musical details like flams or chord rolls with Smart Quantize.

An Introduction to the 5 Rulers of Logic Pro X
Monday, May 12, 2014 22:20
In the following article, I take a look at the different Rulers in Logic Pro X. Maybe you will discover some features that you can add to your Logic Pro workflow.
The Ruler
The Ruler is one of the main interface components, not only in Logic Pro, but in virtually every DAW on the market. It sits on top of the Workspace and represents the Timeline of your Project.
But as we all know, Logic Pro is not like any other DAW on the market. Having just one Ruler wouldn't be Logic-like. Logic Pro has not one, not two, it gives you a total of five Rulers, plus a lot of hidden features and functionalities. The beauty about Logic Pro is that you don't have to use all the options, you only have to know them and then decide which option you want to use and how you want to use them so they fit into your personal workflow.
So let me introduce those options that will hopefully help you to increase your productivity in Logic Pro.
Logic Pro Ruler #1 – Primary Ruler
The Primary Ruler is always visible. It provides the main Timeline for your Project. However, time can be displayed in different formats and Logic gives you the option to choose from two formats:
- Musical Time ➊ in bars, beats, divisions, and ticks
- Absolute Time ➋ as SMPTE time with hours, minutes, second, and frames
Intro To Logic Quizlet
In Logic Pro 9 you just switched between the two formats with a button right on the Ruler. Now, in Logic Pro X, this option was 'promoted' to be part of the Project Settings. You can set it (switch it) in two places:
- When you create a new Project, the Project Chooser displays the checkbox 'Use musical grid' ➌ in the Details section. When checked, it sets the Primary Ruler to the 'Musical Time' format.
- You can change the time format at any time. Go to the 'Project Settings ➤ General' window. There you find the same checkbox labeled 'Project Type' ➍.
Cycle Area
The Primary Ruler has one additional function besides displaying the time units. It is the home of the Cycle Area. The topic of the Cycle Mode would be a separate column. Here are just a few bullet points.
- The Cycle Area is always visible in the Primary Ruler. It is yellow when Cycle Mode is enabled and gray when disabled ➎.
- You can edit the Cycle Area directly on the Ruler: Move, resize, etc.
- If Cycle Mode is enabled, then the Ruler background changes to a striped pattern ➏. This is a visual reminder that Cycle Mode is on in case the Playhead is parked where the yellow Cycle Area is currently not visible.

Logic Pro Ruler #2 – Playhead Ruler
The Playhead Ruler is the lane below the Primary Ruler and is also always visible.
What you see:
- It displays the time divisions based on the time format of the Primary Ruler.
- It displays the triangle of the Playhead that extends as a white vertical line across the Track Lanes.
- Click on a position along the Playhead Ruler to place the Playhead there.
- Click on the Playhead and drag it along the Playhead Ruler to move it to a different position. If the Pause Button ➐ at the Transport Controls is activated, then this will function as a Scrub feature. The movement snaps to a grid that depends on the zoom factor. Ctr+click overwrites that snap mode and allows a finer dragging resolution.
- Cmd+click to toggle Autopunch Mode.
Logic Pro Ruler #3 – Secondary Ruler
You can display a Secondary Ruler on top of the Primary Ruler. Whatever time format (Musial Time or Absolute Time) is selected for the Primary Ruler, the Secondary Ruler will display the other one.
Activate the Secondary Ruler with the following commands:
- Local Menu View ➤ Secondary Ruler➑
- Key Command (Secondary Ruler) ctr+opt+cmd+R
Logic Pro Ruler #4 – Marquee Ruler
The Marquee function in Logic Pro is one of those advanced features that not many users use or even know about (and is definitely worth a future article).
When activated, the Marquee Ruler will be displayed below the Playhead Ruler. You can use this Ruler to create a Marquee selection without switching the Mouse Pointer to the Marquee Tool. You just drag along that area to create a Marquee Strip that extends its left and right border vertically across the Track Lanes. Most of the Region editing functions (move, copy, cut, delete) will now apply only to the portion of the selected Regions that fall inside that Marquee Selection.
Activate the Marque Ruler with the following commands:
- Local Menu View ➤ Marquee Ruler ➒
- Key Command (Marquee Ruler) 'unassigned'
Logic Pro Ruler #5 – AutoPunch Ruler
The red AutoPunch Area marks the left and right AutoPunch locator (a special record procedure).
The AutoPunch Ruler becomes visible below the Primary Ruler. Toggle the AutoPunch Ruler with the following commands:
- Click on the AutoPunch Button ➓ in the Control Bar
- Cmd+click on the Playhead Ruler
Editor Windows
All the Editor Windows (Piano Roll, Score, Step Editor, Track Editor, Drummer Editor) also display the Rulers:
- The Primary Ruler and Playhead Ruler are always visible.
- The Secondary Ruler can be activated independently in the various Editors.
- The AutoPunch Ruler is automatically visible in all Editors if enabled.
- The Marquee Ruler is only available in the Tracks Editor.
- The Drummer Editor (the new kid on the block) has only a simplified Ruler.
