<\/h2>\nPress Release<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMusic has always been part of Apple\u2019s DNA, and we are excited to deliver yet another fun and powerful update to our music creation apps, GarageBand for iOS and Logic Pro X,\u201d said\u00a0Susan Prescott, Apple\u2019s vice president of Applications Product Marketing. \u201cThese updates bring a wide range of new and highly requested features to both hobbyists and the\u00a0community of pro musicians and audio engineers who rely on our software and hardware to create amazing music.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLogic Pro X is an indispensable part of the creative process for me and the artists I work with. I\u2019m thrilled to see all the new professional features that have been added,\u201d said Grammy-\u00a0and Academy Award-winning producer and composer Paul Epworth. \u201cAs a huge fan of the Alchemy synthesiser, I love that I can grab my iPhone or iPad and use GarageBand to keep\u00a0coming up with new tracks for my Logic sessions when I\u2019m travelling and away from my studio.\u201d<\/p>\n GarageBand for iOS<\/b> Alchemy, one of the world\u2019s most innovative modern synthesisers and a favourite of Logic Pro users, comes to iOS and includes a rich collection of over 150 Apple-designed patches\u00a0from a wide variety of genres, including EDM, Hip Hop, Indie, Rock, Pop and more. And with Alchemy\u2019s Transform Pad, users can morph between eight sonic snapshots in real-time, to\u00a0create expressive synth performances.<\/p>\n Recording music in GarageBand for iOS also gets easier with Multi-Take Recording, giving users multiple passes to capture their best performance and the ability to audition and\u00a0switch between their favorite takes.<\/p>\n The release also features a redesigned Audio Recorder that adds fun, one-tap vocal effects and provides users with even more sophisticated studio effects like pitch correction,\u00a0distortion and delay. Seasoned users looking for even more control over their mixes can use a new collection of advanced audio processing tools, including an interactive graphic\u00a0Visual EQ and the ability to use third-party Audio Unit plug-in effects for expandable, creative sound design.<\/p>\n Logic Pro X<\/b> Logic Pro X also adds support for the revolutionary new Touch Bar on MacBook Pro, providing the ability to view and navigate your project in a timeline overview, along with convenient\u00a0access to volume and Smart Controls for any selected track. New performance controls let you play and record software instruments with the Touch Bar using a piano keyboard that\u00a0can also be customised to a variety of musical scales, or by tapping drum pads to create beats. Assignable key command buttons let you customise the Touch Bar controls to keep\u00a0your favourite keyboard shortcuts available when you need them.<\/p>\n Track Alternatives let users create and switch between different playlists of regions and edits on any track. This feature makes it easier to experiment with various creative ideas or\u00a0evaluate different versions of a track as it evolves.
