Plugins – and as we’ve found out, interfaces – are often still ‘upgrades in progress’. But upgrading to an OS that runs 10.7 can be fraught with difficulties, particularly if you’re pre Big Sur. If not, the other new features could well tempt you. One play with the new Atmos spatial mixing features in Logic 10.7 may convince you that this is the future of production. This time you get a couple of versions of Lil Nas X’s track Montero, one a spatial mix, which you can fully explore which is both educational and a little creepy… Conclusion

You get demo songs too – actually almost complete songs – something started at Pro X and most famously delivered at 10.5 with Billie Eilish’s Ocean Eyes. Other Step Sequencer additions include automation and note pitch options and all of these extras make SS one of the highlights of the new Logic Pro and one feature alone that other developers would have introduced in an integer update.ġ0.7 also adds those 2800 samples from famous producers as Producer Packs (also added in GarageBand earlier this year) which you can load individually from Logic’s library or check out as Starter Grids.

There’s also a new real-time step mode that lets you input notes more easily, plus a mono mode for entering non-overlapping basslines (for example). It’s easy to use and includes useful note velocity, quantise and length options. Here you can add beats using the keyboard or external controller. Live recording is the main one – and something we confess we thought it already had. Some of the most impressive new ‘other’ additions include updates to the Step Sequencer introduced in 10.5. And it all works well on our old(ish) Mac! It's not just Dolby you knowĪs good as this is, Logic Pro 10.7 is not all about Dolby – there’s a lot more. It is very cool indeed and, of course, this being Apple, relatively easy to understand for what must be a lot of number crunching. Now you simply use the new surround panning option on each channel to place each sound wherever you wish around ‘you’ – it really is that easy – with a new 3D Object Panner option allowing you to see each sound graphically in the main Atmos plugin around the head. Best of all though, you don’t need a huge set of speakers to enjoy it, as clever binaural audio processing allows you to experience it on headphones (although we didn’t find this as immersive as we expected).

Here you choose your playback speaker system, up to 7.1.4 for a full Dolby Atmos system. The master output also switches from a stereo out to a Dolby Atmos output and features a Dolby Atmos rendering plugin that delivers a full graphic 3D block of your head surrounded by your mix on all sides. Go to audio preferences, set your buffer size to 512, and then select Dolby Atmos from the Mix menu, then Dolby Atmos from your Preferences and you will see each channel get a surround option replacing its stereo panner. The best way to use it is to make a copy of an existing project and save it as your Dolby Atmos mix. The spatial audio mix enhancements in 10.7 really do deserve the plaudits as they allow any sound in your mix to appear like it’s coming from any point around you and even above you. The original Live looper might lack producer glitz but now seems more ‘grown up’ because of that.Īnother cross platform DAW that sits at something of a peak, features and workflow wise. Nice one them. The bottom line is that with a new streamlined set of plugins, Logic Pro 10.7 seems to run more slickly and speedily than ever before, even on our older non-M1 Mac. We had to swap out a UA Arrow, which was simply not getting picked up by Monterey, with a Focusrite Clarett 2Pre+, which Focusrite has confirmed is Monterey-ready. Apple Logic Pro 10.7: Performance and verdict In the end we chose a select number of newer plugins from larger developers we know have kept up to date – Native Instruments, Korg, Plugin Alliance etc – just to get Logic 10.7 up and running, carefully keeping a backup folder of the rest of our instruments on our desktop. As some users reported with Logic 10.5, you might have to boot Logic up with test batches of your Component instruments, as it fell over repeatedly at launch as it scanned through our instruments folder, having particular issues with older titles and constantly flagging up freeware. We did, however, have to lose some plugins along the way. No, really! Both are as slick as ever, which surprises us probably more than you. Pleasingly, the OS runs just fine as does Logic 10.7.
