Emagic has announced version 6 of the Logic Series. This update provides a new level of processor efficiency and extensive enhancements to the Arrange window that offers more editing and mixing power than ever before. In addition, Logic 6 debuts two new setup and file management solutions -- the Setup Assistant and the Project Manager. Users will also benefit from an improved feature set for film scoring, a newly-developed superior sounding EQ and MP3 import/export functionality. Further optimization of the automation system round out this update.
Intelligent CPU Resource Management
1.為降低CPU負載而衍伸的"Freeze"凍結功能：The Arrange window of Logic 6 now features a new "Freeze" button on all audio and audio instrument tracks. The basic concept behind this feature is to maximize the CPU resources available to Logic. "Freezing" CPU-demanding tracks, such as tracks using complex software instruments and effect plug-ins, reduces their CPU-load down to the very minimal demand of an unprocessed stereo audio track -- thus freeing-up potentially very large amounts of CPU-power which can be used for other purposes. This also allows the playback of Logic songs created on faster machines which would normally overload a slower machine's CPU processing capabilities. All users will benefit from this feature, regardless of the computer being used -- put simply -- more plug-ins, more audio instruments and more tracks can be used simultaneously. Tracks can be unfreezed at any time for further editing.
2.比即時更快、更省系統負載的Offline Bounce功能：Another attractive feature in Logic 6 is the Offline Bounce. This feature allows users to bounce faster than real-time or to bounce songs that would otherwise cause system overloads.
Grouping
3.任何軌道都可以多重分派的"32組Group"能力：Each channel in Logic can now be assigned to one of 32 groups. Each group can be a mix group, an edit group, or both. Channels can be assigned to multiple groups. Naturally, this feature improves Logic's fundamental automation engine while at the same time accelerates workflow and affords users improved live editing possibilities. Such as, improved vocal editing, assigning level meters to a group, or muting drum sets.
Mixing in the Arrange window
The new Arrange Channel Strip allows the user to perform on-the-spot changes to the mix while editing in the Arrange window. Selection of a track in the Arrange window will display the corresponding mixer channel in the parameter section of the Arrange window. This added functionality reduces the need to switch between Logic's mixer and Arrange windows.
Smooth Video Synchronization
4.容許DV影像檔透過Firewire輸出：The new Video Thumbnail track displays a film as single frames, aligned horizontally in the Arrange Window. The number of thumbnails displayed is dependent on the current zoom level. In order to view the QuickTime video on a standard TV or video monitor, Version 6.0 now allows the output of a DV-formatted QuickTime movie via FireWire. This allows the connection of a standard DV camera or FireWire conversion box to Logic.
Intelligent Project Manager
5.智慧型的Project Manager：Users can now directly activate the new and unique Project Manager from the Arrange window. The Project Manager consolidates all media files on local volumes by recognizing the dependencies between audio files, sampler instruments, settings and movies. The Project Manager is extremely flexible: users can rename files, add or edit comments and change references to one, or multiple song files. All media files can be saved in a new "project" file format, making archiving and transport of projects created in Logic both efficient and easy. Extensive search facilities further enhance the usefulness of this tool.
Sample Accurate Display in the Arrange window
It is now possible to zoom into the waveform display of an audio region at sample-level resolution -- while in the Arrange window. Further to this, DSP functions that were previously limited to the Sample Editor window are now accessible in the Arrange window. Several Enhancements in the Arrange window With Logic 6 a new Arrange Tool is introduced: the Marquee Tool. The Marquee Tool allows region and sequence-independent selection and editing -- i.e. move, copy, delete, cut, mute, etc. Time Stretching directly in the Arrange window is now possible with Logic 6: the length of an audio file or a loop can now be quickly adapted to the chosen bar. Improved Overview and Track management is now possible in the Arrange window with "Hide Track". Hide Track does not affect playback. Last not least Logic 6 features new and user-definable Arrange window Icons.
New Track EQ
The Setup Assistant (OS X only) Starting with Logic Made Quick & Easy
The Setup Assistant is an unique tool that guides users step-by-step -- even the extreme novice -- through the process of setting up and configuring Logic. In a simple and interactive Q & A session users learn how to easily create preferences, configure key settings and create their first template song in Logic.
Improved Time Machine
In Logic 6, the Time Machine now features a new algorithm that provides enhanced sound quality and more accurate time stretching and pitch shifting.
Support of More Audio Formats (OS X only)
Logic 6 can now import and export MP3 files. In addition, QuickTime audio formats are supported for both import and export. This includes: AAC, Qdesign Music 2, Qualcomm PureVoice, Law, Alaw and IMA formats.
Quick Automation Access
The newly integrated One Fader Automation facility allows the selected automation parameter to be controlled by any controller -- e.g. a Mod Wheel.
Expanded Control Surface Support
Logic 6 can now be controlled by the following third-party hardware controller units: Motormix by CM Automation, SAC-2k and SAC 2.2 by RadikalTechnologies, HUI and Baby HUI by Mackie, DM2000 and 02R96 by Yamaha. These hardware controllers can be used in combination with each other -- or as part of an expandable Logic Control and Logic Control XT system -- In this manner customers can build hardware control systems precisely tailored to their needs. This offers unmatched Control Surface flexibility.
