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. However, Logic Pro 10.7 requires at least Big Sur (macOS 11) so it really is time to bite the bullet if you haven’t already, and this could make or break your feelings about upgrading to Logic Pro 10.7. (It still renders some of the mighty Computer Music Plugin Suite plugins null and void). We say ‘might’ because 10.5 didn’t require any update beyond macOS 10.14 Mojave, so we staunchly stuck with that to run 10.5, preferring not to take the Catalina (macOS 10.15) route, having witnessed so many nightmare outcomes caused by upgrading to it. You might not be surprised to learn that Logic Pro 10.7 requires you to update your OS. The only problem is… well, Apple’s own OS. A significant point update then? You could say that.

We’re hearing more and more about Dolby Atmos, and with Apple behind it, you have to assume that we’re finally – after no end of pretenders and technological solutions – getting a surround sound system to replace stereo that will be the future of music production. We’re hearing more and more about Dolby Atmos and with Apple behind it, it might just replace stereo The headlines might well be yet more top-line producers spreading their mixes and samples across the software – 2800 new samples from the likes of Mark Ronson, Boys Noize, Tom Misch and TRAKGIRL, being the bulk of them – but the real story is the expansion of what was already a wide spatial remit in Logic to more immersive levels, so you can export your projects as Dolby Atmos files, all ready to play on Apple Music in full surround sound.
