'''Logic Pro''' is a proprietary [[digital audio workstation]] (DAW) and [[MIDI]] [[music sequencer|sequencer]] software application for the [[macOS]] platform developed by [[Apple Inc.]] It was originally created in the early 1990s as '''Notator Logic''',<ref>{{Cite web|title=A Brief History Of Logic, From Emagic To Apple|url=https://macprovideo.com/article/audio-software/a-brief-history-of-logic-from-emagic-to-apple|access-date=2020-06-10|website=macprovideo.com|language=en}}</ref> or '''Logic''', by German software developer C-Lab which later went by [[Emagic]].

A consumer-level version based on the same interface and audio engine but with reduced features called Logic Express was available starting in 2004.

Apple's [[GarageBand]] comes free with all new [[Macintosh]] computers and [[iOS]] devices and is another application built on Logic's audio engine. On December 8, 2011, the boxed version of Logic Pro was discontinued, along with Logic Express, and as with all other Apple software for Macs, Logic Pro is now only available through the [[Mac App Store]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/logic-pro-x/id634148309?mt=12|title=Logic Pro X|website=Mac App Store|language=en-gb|access-date=2019-11-23}}</ref> and the iPad App Store,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Logic Pro for iPad |url=https://www.apple.com/uk/logic-pro-for-ipad/ |access-date=2024-01-21 |website=Apple (United Kingdom) |language=en-GB}}</ref> or with a discounted Pro Apps for Education Bundle for students through the [[Apple Store]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/us-edu/shop/product/BMGE2Z/A/pro-apps-bundle-for-education?fnode=70e76e825406f2f4462b5ac42ff37695611ba22152fdddd6a892c498c1f2364f6fc2c6334804a9af9aa955e3ec6aa0289436719e56be130147ac8ee07667a54166fea430a44db9a4910ab65a0a8f2415b9498cf2da7e3cfb76cbc24f64c6ca91|title=Apple Store|website=Pro Apps for Education Bundle|language=en-gb|access-date=2023-03-04}}</ref> online.
