Create your own music using an advanced spectrum of features and tools for
computer based music production. Logic Express provides a step up from
GarageBand for aspiring musicians, producers and composers without breaking the
bank. With the same flexible layout as Logic Pro, you can dive deeper into the
creation and manipulation of audio and MIDI.
Logic Express lets you produce a convincing demo of your band, create a remix of
your favorite track or score QuickTime movies. This affordable virtual studio
integrates a rich feature set for both music and audio production in one
application. In addition to the Apple Loops you’re familiar with from
GarageBand, you’ll enjoy the wide variety of software instruments. These
provide, for example, faithful emulations of vintage keyboard classics as well
as synthetic sounds, ranging from digital to virtual analog. Composers and music
theory teachers will also appreciate the full-featured score editor.
Grow Your Own Loops
Aspiring remixers and electronic music composers can’t live without loops.
Logic Express offers the familiar Apple Loops browser of GarageBand, hosting a
multitude of Apple Loops. Browse quickly through the largest libraries simply by
specifying instrument, genre or mood. Preview them instantly at your song’s
tempo and pitch. Logic Express configures the channel strip automatically for
Apple Loops on software instrument tracks. What’s more, you can construct your
own Apple Loops from conventional audio files such as recordings or bounced
phrases produced with software instruments using the Apple Loop Utility.
High-Quality Software Instruments and Plug-Ins
For in-depth sound creations, the range of synthesizers provided in Logic
Express proves itself as a priceless resource. Offering a richer set of
parameters, they feature precise control on every single shade of the sound.
Seamlessly integrated in the Track Mixer, you can effortlessly record and edit
parameter changes. The stylish, accessible FM synthesizer EFM1 creates a
wide range of digital sounds that characterized the music of the 80s. Generating
the sounds from frequency modulation technology, you can play crystal-clear
bells as well as deep bass or string pads. The virtual analog beast ES1 provides
sounds to enrich every production - from massive basses to rich pads or
ultra-sharp percussion. Plug-ins like EQ and Reverb provide precision treatment
of your sound. Others, such as the Autofilter and Guitar Amp, invite you to
experiment wildly.
Total Score
Songwriters can produce impressive demo songs by incorporating audio recordings,
sample-based sounds and virtual instruments entirely on the computer. But users
will find it easy to share compositions with other musicians in a traditional
way with Logic Express as well, since it now houses the full-featured score
editor from Logic Pro, for simply stunning results.
