New in Logic Pro 8.
Single-Window Design
The Arrange window in Logic Pro 8 consolidates production activities in a single, elegantly-designed workspace. You can record multiple takes; cut, move or stretch audio with sample accuracy; browse channel strip settings; audition Apple Loops; and drop chords onto your lead sheet—all from one central space, without managing multiple windows.
Next Generation Interface:
Simplified Setup
Production-ready templates, a streamlined track setup window and dynamic channel strip creation get you up and running fast. Improved ReWire support provides easy integration with other music applications.
Simplified Setup:
Effortless multitake recording
Region-based take management speeds up multitake recording, editing and processing. An expandable take folder makes it simple to recall overdubs, and entire take folders can be moved and edited like regions.
Multi-Take Recording:
Quick Swipe comping
With breakthrough Quick Swipe comping, you can simply swipe over the best portions of each take to create a seamless comp, complete with transition-smoothing crossfades.
Revolutionary Comping:
New audio editing tools
Work faster and with greater precision using powerful new features like snap-to-transient selection, graphical time stretching and sample-accurate editing in the Arrange window.
Powerful Audio Editing:
Surround mixing and processing
Logic Pro 8 allows for end-to-end surround production with multichannel tracks and busses. True Surround and multi-mono support lets you use any surround, stereo or mono plug-ins within any surround project.
Portable preferences:
Save your key commands, channel strip settings and plug-in settings to your .Mac account for easy backup, sharing and portability.
XSKey-free operation:
A simple serial number replaces the USB dongle and lets you make music without the hassle of extraneous hardware.
