Apple ships Logic Express 9

Apple is now shipping Logic Express 9, the slightly stripped-down consumer-focused version of its industry standard audio creation app, Logic Pro.

The new Logic Express adds a collection of amps, speaker cabinets, and effects pedals that guitar players can use in traditional combinations to re-create legendary sounds or mix and match for something truly original.

It also features new production tools that make it easier than ever for musicians to set up and record, edit timing and tempo, and create pro mixes.

Logic Express offers a far more versatile list of features than GarageBand and works through a Logic Pro-like interface. It also offers many of the high-end software’s new features, such as Flex Time, Amp Designer, Pedalboard and Drum Replacer.

The incredibly well-featured software costs $199 and is available now.
