Logic Pro X 10 System Requirements

Logic Pro X 10 System Requirements

May 15, 2020 Apple Logic Pro X 10.5review. And there's certainly plenty of enticing new stuff in Logic Pro X 10.5 (free for existing users) to get excited about, as the fruity tech leviathan makes obvious but positive moves towards bringing its blockbuster DAW in line with more, shall we say, progressive contemporaries such as Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, FL Studio and even Maschine. The Mac Mini was fourth on the list for 10.31% of the Logic Pro users, and 10.86% of the Pro Tools users who participated in the poll. Mac Minis are great machines and deliver great bang for the buck. You can recycle old monitors and peripherals. Purchasing them isn't as expensive as the other options.

 Logic Pro drops its X and reaches version 10.6. It's a significant update, that makes it more compatible with the latest generation of Apple computers announced a few days ago. At the same time, the Logic Pro 10.6 update adds support for all Novation Launchpad controllers and brings not well-specified stability and performance improvements.
iPhone and iPad users can now run Logic Remote on their devices to control the Step Sequencer, which allows creating beats, bass lines, and melodic parts.
Unfortunately, OS X users with Mojave and previous systems will have to give up on this update. Logic Pro 10.6 is only compatible with Catalina and Big Sur.
My advice? If you have a (relatively) old machine, I would recommend staying with Mojave and 'crystallize' your setup. The compatibility with Catalina has proved to be problematic for a number of audio software and hardware companies, and while most of them now officially support Catalina, you might want to double-check their recommendations to make sure your gear and plugins will work.
For Big Sur it's still early days – most if not all companies are warning their customers to wait on this system update, for obvious reasons. Where does parallels store windows.
Logic Pro X 10.3.2 System RequirementsAlso, don't forget that 32-bit apps and plugins will stop working in Catalina (and Big Sur, of course). Don't upgrade to Catalina or Big Sur until you are sure that you are not needing 32-bit apps and plugins.
How to check if your applications are still 32-bit? Best plugins for fruity loops 10.
Since we're here, we might as well check this if you are running a pre-Catalina machine. Under the Apple Menu, go to About this Mac, and click on System Report.
 On the list on the left, under Software, click Applications.
There's a category across the top named 64-bit (Intel). If it says 'Yes', it's 64-bit compatible. If it says 'No', it's not. Click the 64-bit (Intel) in the header and it will sort by 'Yes' or 'No'.
Here's a screenshot from my Mac:

Accessibility
It is again possible to modify the start and end time of a bounce using Voiceover
The VoiceOver cursor now reliably remains functional when shortening a region at all zoom levels.
Navigating into an open Take Folder with VoiceOver no longer causes a continuous system beep.
Switching from the Main Window Piano Roll to the Score with Voiceover no longer causes the editor to close.
Using the Shift key with the cursor with VoiceOver to adjust the granularity of movement while positioning the Playhead no longer causes a Logic is Busy alert or an unexpected hang.
