Logic Pro Update: Synth Player, Chord ID, Comping & More (Mac & iPad)
Logic Pro 12 for Mac and Logic Pro for iPad 3 are finally here, and this update brings some of the biggest changes we’ve seen in years. From the new AI powered Synth Player and Chord ID to Quick Swipe Comping on iPad and a brand new Sound Library on Mac, here’s everything you need to know.
In this video, I break down every major new feature in Logic Pro 12 and Logic Pro for iPad 3, explain what’s shared across Mac and iPad, and show you how these tools actually work in real projects. Whether you’re producing music on a Mac, iPad, or both, this update has some genuinely workflow changing additions.
You’ll see how Synth Player works with third-party AUv3 instruments and hardware synths, how Chord ID can instantly build a chord track from MIDI or audio recordings, how the new Music Understanding search helps you find loops faster, and how plugin interface changes improve usability on iPad.
If you want more Logic Pro tutorials for Mac and iPad, make sure you’re subscribed. I’ll be diving deeper into the smaller changes, bug fixes, and hidden features in upcoming videos.
