- Apple has just dropped a pretty significant upgrade to Logic Pro for Mac and iPad
- Flashback Capture will handle the recording even if you don’t start it
- Vote -Splitters get more functionality, and a bit of Apple -Intelligense arrives at this creative tool
Apple has been on a roller with Logic Pro on Mac and iPad-in 2024, the tech giant initiated several AI-run features, including an impressive Stem-Splitter, and now, to the first major update of 2025, you can say it turns things up to 11.
Running the improvements for both Mac and iPad is a new tool that hides your brilliant roof, even if you forget to press the recording button. In addition, Stem Splits is an even more powerful tool, and Apple Intelligence arrives within the long-standing notepad functionality.
So let’s start with flashback capture – this is a renaming ‘Capture Recording’ and an extension of its capabilities. Whether you are a professional at Logic or maybe just upgrades from Garageband, you’ve probably experienced this when you start tightening on a guitar, singing a few chords or playing another instrument – greatness attack, but you forget to hit the plate. This feature has the potential to be a lifeguard as it automatically captures your performance before hitting a record.
With the touch of a button you can then make it appear on your timeline. As part of its rescheduling, the flashback recording now works with any midi source -or, more precisely, with any sound source. It also works if you play something while listening to another piece of your timeline – when inspiration hits, whether you’re starting to record, the flashback capture sort of day saves. This update is now available for Mac with Logic Pro 11.2 and for iPad with Logic Pro Version 2.2, both of which are now available.
The ever-popular Stem-Splitter that uses AI to analyze an audio file and separate instruments or vocals in individual tracks receives an improvement. Previously, it could separate vocals, bass and drums in separate traces while placing other potential elements in a track called “Other.”
Now Apple is adding the opportunity to recognize piano and guitar while also promising better soundfidelity. This should be pretty useful, but if you have a horn section in your band, the wonderful brass instruments will still live in ‘other’ tracks. There will also be presets to choose from, including a cappella, instrumental with vocals or just instrumental. Vote Splitter will still only be available on Macs and iPads with Apple Silicon inside, specifically M1 chip or newer.

While there is some AI and machine learning, Apple also integrates integration of writing tools. Essentially, the notepad tool inside the Logic Pro will now have a dedicated button for writing tools so you can utilize Apple’s own models or chatgpts smarts to help elaborate on texts, potentially.
If you are eager for new audio packs, the Logic Pro wins the MAC magnetic imperfections and Tosin Abasi, while the iPad version gets the brand new dancefloor Rush. The latter here offers alchemy stains and hundreds of loops, all with drum and bass. It sounds a lot like summer pop and should be fun.

Eventually, Midi for Logic Pro on iPad arrives and will help you get hold of these physical control units with minimal past experience. In essence, you can connect a compatible MIDI device to your iPad via USB-C and then assign a feature in Logic Pro to a physical control, such as a button. You can customize the experience to your exact needs and when they develop you, you can adjust your setup accordingly.
The best news, however, and in accordance with Apple’s previous improvements to the software suite, is that if you have already purchased Logic Pro for Mac or subscribe to Logic Pro for iPad, you will get all these new features for free.
Apple also does not increase the cost of any of them. Logic Pro for Mac is still a one -time purchase of $ 199.99 / £ 199.99 / AU $ 299.99 and Logic Pro for iPad is $ 5.99 / £ 4.99 / AU $ 7.99 or annually for $ 49.99 / £ 49.99 / AU $ 59.99.
In addition, you can still get a one-month free sample of iPad or a 90-day free trial on Mac for logic.
