Apple Launches Logic Pro 11.2 and 2.2 With Enhanced Stem Splitter, AI Writing Tools, and MIDI Upgrades

Apple Launches Logic Pro 11.2 for Mac and Logic Pro 2.2 for iPad

Apple has released updates for its Logic Pro software: Logic Pro 11.2 for Mac and Logic Pro 2.2 for iPad. Both versions introduce new features, improvements to existing tools, and important bug fixes. The headline feature is the Enhanced Stem Splitter, which now separates audio into six stems, including piano and guitar, alongside vocals, bass, drums, and others.

Enhanced Stem Splitter

The Stem Splitter, originally launched last year, allowed users to isolate vocals, bass, drums, and an “other” category from stereo audio. The enhanced version expands this by adding piano and guitar stems, providing more precise control over individual elements. Presets like a cappella and instrumental with vocal are also included, simplifying the process of breaking down tracks.

Flashback Capture and Cycle Mode

Logic’s MIDI capture feature, now called Flashback Capture, has been upgraded to include audio recording. This means you can capture spontaneous ideas without hitting the record button beforehand. Cycle mode complements this by allowing looped improvisations, making it easier to experiment without pressure.

Writing Tools Powered by AI

Logic Pro now integrates AI-assisted Writing Tools. If you’re on an Apple-Silicon Mac or compatible iPad running macOS 15.4 with the ChatGPT extension enabled, these tools activate automatically. They help generate additional lyrics from your existing verses and chorus right within Logic’s notepad feature, offering a creative partner to bounce ideas off.

Improved Search and Select Tools

Managing large projects is smoother with new Search and Select tools. You can quickly locate tracks by name or number using your keyboard, a feature similar to the existing plug-in search. This saves time and keeps your workflow efficient.

Logic Pro for iPad 2.2 Updates

• Dancefloor Rush Pack: Adds fresh drum and bass loops, custom kits, Alchemy patches, and a Live Loops grid with hundreds of samples.
• In-App Lessons: New tutorials cover feature updates, beat making, mixing basics, and more, helping users sharpen their skills.
• Learn MIDI Feature: Connect a MIDI controller and assign physical controls like faders and knobs to software functions. It listens for your input, then lets you map controls to EQ, compressor, synth parameters, and more. Assignments can be track-specific or global.

Availability and Pricing

Both Logic Pro 11.2 for Mac and Logic Pro 2.2 for iPad are available now as free updates for existing owners and subscribers. New users can purchase Logic Pro for Mac for $199.99, requiring macOS Sequoia 15.4 or later. A 90-day free trial is available. Logic Pro for iPad costs $4.99 monthly or $49 yearly, with a one-month free trial.

For writers and creators seeking to integrate AI tools into their workflow, exploring Logic’s new Writing Tools could prove valuable. More resources on AI-assisted creative tools and courses can be found at Complete AI Training.
