As per Apple, the Mac version now features an improved plug-in search system that lets you find and add any plug-in directly from the menu without clicking on channel strip inserts. You can quickly search by categories, company names, or partial plug-in names to streamline your workflow.

For iPad users, the Sound Browser has received major improvements.

Additional improvements include the ability to drag channel strips for mixer organization and send mixes directly to Voice Memos for preview on iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch.

Logic Pro for iPad is available through a subscription model at $4.99 monthly or $49 annually, with a one-month free trial. It requires an iPad Air or iPad Pro with M1 chip or higher. The Mac version comes as a one-time purchase of $199.99 and includes a 90-day free trial period.
