I mostly hear developers buying these things straight away, so the first killer app is Xcode, but even for many of them I know it’ll be great to boot up native Logic, Final Cut, and Resolve straight away. Where Logic 10.6 is interesting is that it means you have a powerful DAW and all these effects and instruments ready to exploit Apple’s new Macs. You get most of the new Step Sequencer functions now on your iPad or iPhone. The iPad and Logic make a clever sketchpad for ideas now. While everyone was awestruck about Live Loops, the Step Sequencer is the bit I find myself actually using most in the new Logic thanks to its depth and hardware-style features. Logic Remote on iOS now support’s Logic’s excellent new Step Sequencer. Again, this means you are out of luck if you’re on Mojave, though – and good as it is, check that your software is Catalina compatible before you upgrade. You also don’t have the confusing 90-degree turn to properly align with the Live Loops layout on Launchpad.

You get full support of Live Loops, Note and Chord modes, track arming and transport, and dedicated shortcuts for clearing and duplicating cells, quantizing, and even Custom Modes you can set up in Novation Components (including via a browser).

That means MK3 is an ideal tactile controller for Logic Pro 10.6 (as opposed to touch display like iOS). (MK3 was missing in 10.5 – and it’s kind of the Launchpad you most want to use, so glad to see it added.) Whether you’re on Apple silicon or Intel, Catalina or Big Sur, if you own Launchpad hardware or iPad (or both), you get tighter control integration with Logic Pro 10.6.Īll Novation Launchpad hardware is now supported, up through Launchpad Pro MK3. Novation Launchpad and iPad (and iPhone). Then you get essentially all of the gain and none of the pain.

It seems like a no-brainer: unless you have a lot of software that requires Catalina, leave the more substantial, software-breaking update to buying new hardware – and then run the two side by side if possible. I really think this is the best way to go, even as I hear a lot of people jumping to update and getting frustrated. So I’ll keep my “legacy” MacBook Pro on Mojave and Logic 10.5.x for backwards compatibility, and then expect my next Mac will run Apple silicon and Big Sur aka macOS 11. I’m actually happy with the current version of Logic 10.5, personally – your mileage may vary. Logic Pro 10.6 ends support for Mojave (10.14) and increases the minimum OS version to macOS Catalina 10.15. The bad news here is, Mojave users – and by extension, anyone wanting to retain 32-bit plug-in support – have hit the end of the road. What this update means depends on what OS you run, and what controller(s) you use that end in “-pad.” That remains a useful little tool and a powerful way for users to get started – and it shares code with both GarageBand on iOS and Logic on macOS.īut let’s skip to Logic. The Big Sur UI is something we see more in GarageBand – at the consumer end.

There’s way more sampling power in MainStage, the standalone instrument rack based on Logic.What’s new in the new Logic (and GarageBand)? Well, they’ll natively use the performance potential of the new macOS and Apple silicon Macs – but there’s tighter integration with iPad and Novation Launchpad for all Mac users, too.
