What Logic Pro is
Logic Pro is a music creation app for Mac and iPad, used for beat-making, songwriting, recording, editing, mixing, and remixing. It records and edits both MIDI and audio, with tools including Live Loops, Flex Time, Flex Pitch, and Quick Swipe Comping. The app supports multitrack editing, MIDI sequencing, third-party plugins, noise reduction, and video synchronization.

Stem Splitter can separate mixed recordings into instruments such as drums, bass, vocals, guitar, and piano. Logic Pro also includes Dolby Atmos tools and exports ADM files for streaming services. Projects can move between its Mac and iPad versions, and it integrates with Voice Memos, Logic Remote, GarageBand projects, and Final Cut Pro workflows through XML. Supported devices require macOS 15.6 or later or iPadOS 26 or later; the listed hardware requirements specify Apple silicon for Mac and an A12 Bionic chip or later for iPad.
