Logic Express is loaded with spot-on models and gorgeous samples of the best gear ever — from the classic to the rare and obscure. You also get the most advanced, easy-to-use tools for manipulating those sounds or creating your own.
Explore Plug-ins & Sounds
Calling all gear hounds.
Amp Designer and Pedalboard are two new plug-ins that give you an astonishing instant collection of gear. Amp Designer lets you mix and match 25 amp heads, 5 EQs, 10 reverbs, 25 speaker cabinets and 3 mics that you can position freely around the speaker cone. So you can faithfully re-create almost any legendary sound. And Pedalboard features 30 different stompboxes, all meticulously crafted to reproduce the tones and responsiveness of the originals they’re modelled after. The Pedalboard interface makes it easy to reorder and swap your pedals, and to creatively route your signal for thousands of combinations and virtually unlimited sounds.
Amp Designer Tweed
Get the warm, clean, complex sounds of American amps from the ’50 and early ’60s. Pushing the gain will take you gradually from gentle distortion all the way to ripping overdrive.
Pedalboard Delay
Pour on the vibe with spacey echoes, spring reverbs and backward delays. Just run your guitar signal through Blue Echo, Spring Box or Tru-tape Delay, and leave your dry signal behind.
Logic Express instruments.
Logic Express features an amazing range of drum sounds and synths, as well as the powerful EXS24 sampler to create a truly fresh sound. If you’ve been using GarageBand, the same instruments are available in Logic Express, so you can continue to work on your projects without missing a beat.
Ultrabeat
This powerful drum synthesiser combines every available technology for producing drum sounds with a self-contained pattern sequencer. It’s never been easier to create original drum beats.
Studio sound library.
More than 1200 Apple Loops.
Royalty-free Apple Loops let you build a rhythm, grab a melodic phrase or simply sketch out an arrangement. Any loop you choose will automatically change key and tempo to match your project. Real Instrument loops, also known as blue loops, are integrated into your project as audio files and can be edited like any audio region. And Software Instrument loops, or green loops, allow you to fully edit the instrument, effect and original MIDI performance. Apple Loops give you plenty of creative fuel — you can even use Apple Loops Utility to create and tag your own loops.
More than 1000 sampled instruments.
Logic Express is packed with beautifully sampled EXS instruments. Build your song with authentic strings, horns, woodwinds, guitars, pianos, basses, harp, choir, synthesizers, tonewheel and pipe organs, acoustic and electric drum kits, and orchestral and world instruments.
More than 2500 presets for plug-ins.
You don’t have to be a sound engineer to take advantage of the enormous range of plug-ins that come with Logic Express. Just rely on the plug-in settings (designed by sound engineers) to get great sounds right out of the box. Plug-in settings can also speed up the production, mixing and mastering process, if you use them as templates for your instrument and effects combos and tweak them from there.
