�Logic Pro is a digital audio workstation (DAW) and MIDI sequencer
software application for the macOS platform. It was originally created
in the early 1990s as Notator Logic, or Logic, by German software
developer C-Lab which later went by Emagic. American technology
company Apple acquired Emagic in 2002 and renamed Logic to Logic Pro.
It is the second most popular DAW ? after Ableton Live ? according to
a survey conducted in 2015.

Logic Pro provides software instruments, audio effects and recording
facilities for music synthesis. It also supports Apple Loops ?
royalty-free, professionally recorded instrument loops. Logic Pro and
Express share many functions and the same interface. Logic Express is
limited to two-channel stereo mixdown, while Logic Pro can handle
multichannel surround sound. Logic Express can only handle up to 255
audio tracks, depending on system performance (CPU and hard disk
throughput and seek time), while, as of version 10.4.5, Logic Pro can
handle up to 1000. Logic Pro can work with MIDI keyboards and control
surfaces for input and processing, and for MIDI output. It features
real-time scoring in musical notation, supporting guitar tablature,
chord abbreviations and drum notation. Advanced MIDI editing is
possible through Logic Pro's MIDI Transform Window, where velocity,
pitch, pitch-bends, note length, humanize and precise note positioning
are effected.

In March 2004 Apple released Logic Pro 6, which consolidated over 20
different Emagic products, including all instrument and effect plug-
ins, Waveburner Pro (CD Authoring application), and Pro Tools TDM
support, into a single product package. Apple also released a scaled
down version of Logic called Logic Express, replacing two previous
versions that filled that position called Logic Silver and Logic Gold.
Apple began promoting Logic Pro as one of its flagship software ?Pro?
applications for the Macintosh platform.
Logic Pro 7
Logic Pro 7 was released September 29, 2004. Most notably, Apple
modified the interface of Logic 7 to look more like a product that was
developed by Apple.
Additions to Logic Pro 7 included: the integration of Apple Loops,
Distributed Audio Processing (a technology for combining the power of
multiple computers on a network), 3 new instruments including
Sculpture (a sound modeling synth) and Ultrabeat (a drum synth and
sequencer), and 9 new effect plug-ins including Guitar Amp Pro (guitar
amp simulator), and a linear phase corrected version of their 6
channel parametric equalizer. In total, Logic Pro 7 now included 70
effect plug-ins and 34 instrument plug-ins.
Pro-Tools TDM compatibility, which had been a feature of Logic since
version 3.5, was not supported by Logic 7.2 on Intel-based Mac
computers;[28] TDM support returned with the release of Logic 8. [?]�
