Recording and Producing
Logic Express recreates a complete studio environment - directly in your computer. Record audio and MIDI (via a MIDI keyboard), and develop your own arrangements, remixes and mixes.

Arrange and Mixer
The Arrange window, where both MIDI and audio tracks are arranged and edited - via a comprehensive selection of tools, is the nerve center of Logic Express. View your entire song arrangement at a glance, or zoom into individual regions. Graphically enter controller data - volume and pan curves, for example - directly into individual tracks. Even compose to a synchronized digital movie - no matter if it's a multimedia presentation, a film score or your holiday video.

Audio
Logic Express allows you to work with up to 48 stereo or mono audio tracks, at up to 24 Bit/96 kHz resolution. A maximum of 12 inputs and outputs are simultaneously supported (dependent on your audio hardware). The built-in stereo Sample Editor allows precise editing of your audio recordings and incorporates creative options such as pitch and tempo editing.

MIDI and Score
The MIDI sequencing capabilities of Logic Express provide extensive control over internal software instruments and external MIDI instruments. Up to 128 MIDI in and outputs are supported, and a virtually unlimited number of MIDI tracks. The editors, borrowed from Logic Pro, include the Matrix Editor, Event List and Hyper Editor. These powerful and elegant tools make editing and modifying your MIDI data a breeze.

Logic Express also features a comprehensive scoring section, allowing the creation of printed notation. It incorporates a number of pre-defined score styles and generic guitar tabulation facilities, plus lyric entry and much more.

Instruments and Effects
The increase in computer processing power over the last few years has made the concept of the "virtual studio"a reality. Logic Express 6, combined with your Apple computer, now plays the role of a tape machine, mixing desk and a MIDI Sequencer. Nowadays, the external effect racks and even instruments can also be substituted with software equivalents.

Logic Express 6 features over 18 professional effect plug-ins that process sounds in realtime. Also included are three software instruments to help your initial compositions. The EXSP24 sample player provides you with easy access to vast sample libraries. Play the EVP73 with your MIDI keyboard, and you'll quickly realize that it really feels like you're playing a Fender Rhodes electric piano. The ES1 virtual analog synthesizer invites you to experiment with all kinds of electronic sounds. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Emagic products.
