Even compose to a synchronized digital movie - no matter if it's a multimedia presentation, a film score or your holiday video.

A maximum of 12 inputs and outputs are simultaneously supported (dependent on your audio hardware).

Instruments and Effects

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.
