Lesson plan

Logic Pro

Logic Pro is a proprietary digital audio workstation (DAW) and MIDI sequencer software application for the macOS platform developed by Apple Inc. It was originally created in the early 1990s as Notator Logic, or Logic, by German software developer C-Lab which later went by Emagic. Apple acquired Emagic in 2002 and rebranded Logic to Logic Pro, adding it to their list of pro apps. In 2026, the software was included as part of the Apple Creator Studio suite of applications, though it remains available as a one-time purchase. It was the second most popular DAW – after Ableton Live – according to a survey conducted in 2015. A consumer-level version based on the same interface and audio engine but with reduced features called Logic Express was available starting in 2004. Apple's GarageBand comes free with all new Macintosh computers and iOS devices and is another application built on Logic's audio engine, and projects created in GarageBand can be opened and edited further in Logic Pro with no additional steps required. On December 8, 2011, the boxed version of Logic Pro was discontinued, along with Logic Express, and as with all other Apple software for Macs, Logic Pro is now only available through the Mac App Store and the iPad App Store, or with a discounted Pro Apps for Education Bundle for students through the Apple Store online.…
