The useful question isn’t “How many features does Logic Pro have?” It’s “Will this tool improve recording, editing, composition, mixing, or delivery on the hardware I own?” The visual library above starts from those jobs. Logic Pro 13.0 adds a unified Browser, individual drum pieces in Stem Splitter and a Play Surface window. Most tools don’t depend on how you pay; the exception is the intelligent Assistant beta, which Apple limits to Apple Creator Studio subscribers.
- Capture and repair.Recording modes, Flashback Capture, Take Folders, Flex Time, Flex Pitch, and Smart Tempo decide how you capture or fix a performance.
- Write and arrange.Piano Roll tools, Session Players, Chord ID, software instruments, and loops help you write musical material. In Logic Pro 12, Synth Player styles such as Simple Pad and 808 Bass sit inside Keyboard Player and Bass Player, with their own LFO, envelope and slide settings. On Mac, drag an audio or MIDI region into the Chord track to analyze its harmony and add a chord group. With Cycle on, only chords under that range are added. Check the detected chords, then follow the Session Players and Chord ID guide.
- Mix and deliver.Routing, automation, stock effects, Stem Splitter, and Mastering Assistant change how you finish a project.
- Check the boundary.Mac and iPad versions differ, and some tools need newer Apple silicon than the minimum installation requirement.

Logic Pro features FAQ
What Logic Pro version is covered here?
Logic Pro for Mac 13.0 and Logic Pro for iPad 3.4. Apple can update the apps independently, so version-sensitive guides link to the relevant current documentation.
Does Logic Pro 13 run on Intel Macs?
Apple’s Creator Studio requirements page asks for Apple silicon and macOS 26.1 or later for Logic Pro 13.0, while the product page still lists macOS 15.6. The standalone App Store listing gives macOS 26.1 or later but does not state a chip minimum, and Apple’s shared release notes mention Intel fixes. That is not a guarantee that your Intel Mac can buy or install the current app. Check the exact listing on that Mac and preserve a working installation; features such as Stem Splitter still require Apple silicon.
Are all features available on every supported device?
No. Some iPad features require a newer chip than the base A12 requirement, and Mac and iPad plugin or interface workflows differ. Check the specific tool before relying on it.
Does Mastering Assistant replace mixing?
No. It analyzes the stereo mix. Local balance, distortion, harshness, or vocal problems should normally return to the mix rather than be forced through a global mastering adjustment.
