Also wondering what people think about upgrading mid project? Working on an EP right now, not sure if I should mess with an upgrade until that’s completed.

I would wait, nothing worse than slowing everything down because Apple or who ever decided to change the workflow that you have become accustomed to.

Don’t, there is likely nothing in the update that you need for your project: why risk it?

At first glance, there's not much to report? If they've optimized it for better processing performance, that'll be great.

I'll be waiting to hear reassuring things from those brave initial update explorers before I risk all my 3rd party plugins failing, crashes mid project, etc.
Respect to our proud update first responders.

New Apple Logic Pro Announced with AI-Driven Features for Mac And iPad
Apple has introduced the latest versions of its music production software, Logic Pro for iPad 2 and Logic Pro for Mac 11, both set to, in their words; “transform professional music creation.” The updates, which will be available from May 13, incorporate AI to assist artists with songwriting, producing, and mixing tasks. We have the details.
The new versions boast new features such as Session Players, Stem Splitter, and ChromaGlow, all designed to enhance creative control and streamline the music production process. These tools expand on Logic Pro's capabilities, making it an even more powerful ally for musicians and producers.
Session Players Session Players significantly enhance the music-making experience by providing a virtual backing band that adapts to the user's creative input. This feature extends the existing Drummer tool to include a new Bass Player and Keyboard Player, offering users a richer and more dynamic production environment. Users can manipulate their virtual band members' performance using controls for complexity, intensity, and style, making Session Players a versatile addition to any project.
Apple say;
“Bass Player was trained in collaboration with today’s best bass players using advanced AI and sampling technologies. Users can choose from eight different Bass Players and guide their performance with controls for complexity and intensity, while leveraging advanced parameters for slides, mutes, dead notes, and pickup hits. Bass Player can jam along with chord progressions, or users can choose from 100 Bass Player loops to draw new inspiration. With Chord Track, users can define and edit the chord progressions to a song, and the virtual Bass Player will follow along perfectly. Plus, with Studio Bass plug-in, users gain access to six new, meticulously recorded instruments, from acoustic to electric — all inspired by the sounds of today’s most popular bass tones and genres.
Built in collaboration with today’s best musicians, Bass Player responds directly to feedback with controls for complexity and intensity.
With Keyboard Player, users can choose from four different styles, designed in cooperation with top studio musicians and made to accompany a wide variety of music genres. Keyboard Player can play everything from simple block chords to chord voicing with extended harmony — with nearly endless variations. Like Bass Player, Chord Track adds and edits the chord progression of the song, so Keyboard Player follows along. Using Studio Piano plug-in, users can select additional sound-shaping options, with the ability to adjust three mic positions, pedal noise, key noise, release samples, and sympathetic resonance.”
Stem Splitter Stem Splitter enables users to extract distinct parts from a mixed recording, such as drums, bass, vocals, and other instruments. With the aid of AI and the powerful M-series Apple silicon, Stem Splitter operates swiftly, allowing for quick adjustments and enhancements to any track.
ChromaGlow ChromaGlow uses AI to model the sound characteristics of revered studio hardware, offering users five distinct saturation styles. This feature helps in achieving the desired tone, adding warmth, presence, or punch to tracks. ChromaGlow's versatile settings cater to a variety of sound preferences, from clean modern tones to rich vintage vibes.
Seamless Integration and Accessibility Logic Pro for iPad 2 harnesses the touch capabilities of the iPad, transforming the device into a versatile musical instrument and production studio. The compatibility between iPad and Mac versions ensures a seamless workflow, allowing users to initiate projects on the go and refine them in the studio without hassle.
Pricing and Availability Logic Pro for Mac 11 is a free update for existing users and costs £199.99 for new users. It requires macOS Ventura 13.5 or later. The iPad version is available for £4.99 per month or £49 per year, with a free one-month trial for new users.

I got Logic in 2015 and it’s just astonishing how much free stuff has even added to it since then. Best $200 spent on audio software.
On the other hand, I’ve bought at least three Macs since then, so their use-the-software-to-sell-the-hardware strategy definitely works.

Any problems with the macs? I am still running my 2012 mbp with up to date software thanks to open legacy’s patch, and bought a used m1 mini, that rocks. Buying protools license for 7 years would have cost way more!

I am under the impression that Logic cannot create POLY files. (multi-track all in one file, instead of separate track files that must be aligned in the daw.) Is no POLY files still the case with Logic?

Not certain what you mean by poly?
If you want multiple sources combined into one track mono or stereo just assign to the same track?

Damn I wish I liked Logic…because it would probably be the best all in one solution.

Is no POLY files still the case with Logic? Didn’t know this was a thing as I’ve never even heard of a poly file but now that I have I don’t think I can live without it… What?? It doesn’t do Poly files?

Don't you mean Logic Pro For Mac 11? lol
Can someone explain to me why it is Logic Pro for Mac 11 instead of Logic Pro 11 for Mac? And why it is Logic Pro for iPad 11 instead of Logic Pro 11 for iPad?
I said in another thread that Apple has the best marketing in the world, but sometimes they just overthink it.

Ah 11 is one more then 10, so must be better: right ? And while we're at it, why is it Logic Pro at all? There's no Logic... so why Logic Pro? Why not just call it Logic 11 and then have another product called Logic 11 for iPad?

Terrible marketing. Fix the bugs and illogical workflow. Terrible marketing? Who cares? Even if there's some truth to what you're saying (and I think their marketing is just fine) does it make the product any better or worse? Illlogical workflow? You're inferring that I'm don't think logically because it makes perfect sense to me. Sorry if I'm sounding like a fan boy, because one of the things I like about this site is we just don't go there. Now on the other hand, if you're a Logic user and you're frustrated with the product, then I apologize, but honestly, you're just sounding like a hater to me.
