Apple today released updates to Logic Pro, for both Mac and iOS.

Among the new features is Flashback Capture, which lets you save performances that you forgot to record; Enhanced Stem Splitter, which lets you ‘unmix’ recordings and create new mixes; and Undo History is now saved with your project.

Here’s what’s new in Logic Pro 11.2:

• New Features and enhancements
  • Flashback Capture
    • Recover and save a spontaneous performance that otherwise may have been lost because Logic Pro was not set to record.
    • Enable cycle mode to improvise multiple takes, without the pressure of being in record – Logic Pro can then retrieve them to a take folder, or multiple new tracks.
    • Use Flashback Capture on almost any source (MIDI, audio or external instruments) to capture dynamic performances as they happen.
  • Enhanced Stem Splitter
    • Split stems from audio recordings with even greater audio fidelity — now with support for guitar and piano.
    • Use the new submix feature to create a custom audio file, like an instrumental or just drums with bass.
    • Use presets to quickly make sets of commonly used stem mixes like acapella, instrumental, instrumental with vocal, and more.
  • Writing Tools in the Notepad
    • Explore ideas like song lyrics, chords, and more using ChatGPT with integrated Writing Tools.2
  • New Sound Packs
    • Dancefloor Rush delivers peak-time Drum and Bass with hard-hitting synths and drums.
    • Magnetic Imperfections brings unpredictable charm to every sound, evoking the unpolished soul of analog tape.
    • Tosin Abasi brings his flavor of progressive metal guitar, with boutique amps and effects, distinctive picking styles, and signature crushing riffs.
  • Search and Select
    • Navigate large projects with ease by searching and selecting tracks by name or track number.
• Other new features include:
  • Undo History is now saved with each project.
  • It is now possible to search for and select tracks by name and track number
  • When a portion of a MIDI region is copy and pasted using a Marquee selection, the pasted copy of the region now includes data from the original region outside the borders of the Marquee selection.
  • The Dolby Atmos plug-in now offers a Direct 2.0 monitoring option.
  • There is now an option to create a new empty take in MIDI Take folders.
  • The Chord Track can now be imported from a different Logic Pro project.
  • The Dolby Atmos plug-in now offers an option to switch the rendering mode between Music and Movie.
  • The Mixer can now be configured to show long faders.
  • Ableton Link and MIDI Clock can now be output at the same time.
  • It’s now possible to create a marker from a Marquee selection.
