Everyone complaining about the virtual instruments doesnt see the workflow utility of it; pros can still use it as a temporary stand in to fill out other parts until youre ready to record the full thing. Been doing that with the drummer for years: lay down something simple while i track to help give me the feel/groove and stay on beat, then when its ready to map drums or record them, do it then.

Hey Chris, at 39:09 the new bounce feature is awesome! Bouncing Synths when wanting to use Midi was an extra pain, and this now solves it! But, a lot of times I want to perform a filter sweep, or some kind of pitch bend or modulation when bouncing to audio. The fact that it brings the volume down of the focus track and solos it, makes it not so fun or musical to do this kind of thing. Anyway to stop that behavior that you know of?

Wherever Kyle is now, he shall always be remembered! Rest in Peace my friend 🪦

[queenjesseen]

Thank you! So easy to understand. I'm going to use this as my walkthrough video when I create my first track in Logic Pro 11.

[MyronDavismd]

R.I.P. Kyle and the other LPX drummers. You will be missed

[mikedr]

I literally spent 10 minutes creating a down and dirty backing track with bass and keyboards and drums and I have to say - it sounds really good! I love the direction they're going here.

Best explanation and walkthrough of Logic Pro 11 on the internet so far, Chris. Thanks so much! Benjamin

This was wonderful for a newbie to the Logic Pro 11. thanks. I am a songwriter and have better knowledge of music theory than skill at playing an instrument. this will help me immensely at putting my songs to music.

[rallefreifahrt]

As a guitarist - this is a dream! Especially the drummer update that fixes everything I always wanted!

[alphabeets]

Gotta love his interjections like “that’s awesome”.

[nickpmusic]

Just tried the Stem Splitter and it’s freaking awesome

[wrekabuddy]

Excellent run through of logic's new features. Explained "Session player instruments" very well.

[NoteBeam]

This is great! Thank you for giving us such a thorough explanation of these new features. I have to say though, for myself, I liked the old drummer better. The new session drummer, I find harder to control and it's a lot easier to just play directly into a midi drummer for the purpose of a temporary placeholder to be tweaked later. As for the "session" bassist and piano, they may be a good start for initiates but if you are a seasoned musician you can get better results playing the parts yourself, even if you have to do a lot of editing or quantizing. IMHO Although, I have to add that the articulations of bassists is a nice touch. (pun intended!)

Meanwhile, the best thing in 11.01 is probably ChromaGlow! What a great feature! I may have to re-do some of my mixes now lol . . .

10 years, major release, and this is all we got, I have never been more disappointed, they could fix so many things, , , but thanks for the fast video update :)

[CyrusShameliOfficial]

I am truly happy that Logic Pro 11 is finally here

[rspatel]

Omg Chord track is awesome, workflow goes rocket with this ❤❤❤

[junter]

What I was waiting for: Displaying bus labels instead of 'Bus1', 'Bus2'... Drag and drop channels in the mixer. Select colors for full tracks. Plugin Search. Plugins in the library to the left. Improved plugin versions ... lot of ideas and basic improvements, maybe Logic Pro 12.

[SagiBraitner]

ARA Support?
Searching Plugins?
Better flex algorithms?
Moving track in the Mixer?
Updated browser?
Parallel processing like Ableton?
Grouping plugins and saving them as presets?

Apple DO NOT Listen.
We got shitty AI features that will be usable for children, a saturation plugin that we have 100 of and a stem splitter that we can find online for free.

0% Attention to the professional users = Time to switch.

[mrufino]

So far the update seems cool. I don’t see myself using the keyboard or bass session players, but I’ve loved Logic drummer for writing since i started using Logic.

Yes, there are things that could be different, but I still feel most comfortable working in Logic these days.

[kybrdguy]

Apple STILL won’t update the mixer so we can simply move channels around. Maybe in another 10 years…
