Editing Logic Pro (section)

===Logic Pro 9===
On July 23, 2009, ''Logic Pro 9'' was announced. A major new feature included "Flex Time", Apple's take on "elastic" audio, which allows audio to be quantized.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/logic-using-flex-time-vocals|title=Logic – Using Flex Time on Vocals -|website=soundonsound.com}}</ref> A version of the [[Guitar pedalboard|pedalboard]] from GarageBand was included, together with a new virtual [[guitar amplifier]] where the modeled components could be combined in different ways. There were also a number of improvements to audio editing, fulfilled user requests such as "bounce in place" and selective track and channel strip import, as well as an expanded content library including one more [[GarageBand#Jam Packs|Jam Pack]]. Some of the bundled software, including [[MainStage (software)|MainStage]] 2 and Soundtrack Pro 3, was also improved. Logic Pro 9 is Universal Binary, although not officially supported for use on PowerPC computers.<ref name="XLR8R">{{cite web|url=http://www.xlr8r.com/news/2009/07/first-look-logic-pro-9|title=A First Look At Logic Pro 9|date=July 24, 2009|publisher=XLR8R|access-date=June 24, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091001083357/http://www.xlr8r.com/news/2009/07/first-look-logic-pro-9|archive-date=October 1, 2009|df=mdy-all}}</ref> SoundDiver, which had been quietly bundled with previous versions, was dropped, eliminating support for arguably the world's most popular synthesizer editor/librarian. As Apple has bundled so many software instruments with Logic, it is not likely that we'll see the return of integration with external synthesizer hardware to the Logic platform.{{Citation needed|date=February 2012}} 

On January 12, 2010, Apple released Logic Pro 9.1, an Intel only release, thereby officially discontinuing Logic for the PowerPC platform. Logic Pro 9.1 had the option of running in 64-bit mode, which allowed the application to address more memory than in the past. Says Apple "With 64-bit mode, the application memory is not limited to 4GB as with 32-bit applications, so there is essentially no practical limit by today's standards." Third party plug-ins that are 32-bit were still compatible, but would run from a 'wrapper' inside Logic Pro itself.

On December 9, 2011, Apple announced that Logic Pro Studio 9 would no longer be available on DVD, and would only be sold via the [[Mac App Store]]. The price was reduced from $499 to $199.99 for the Logic Pro app, and $29.99 for [[MainStage (software)|MainStage]]. The download was just over 400MB, and 19GB of optional loops were available as in-app downloads.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/logic-pro/id459578486?mt=12 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120107082556/http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/logic-pro/id459578486?mt=12 | url-status=dead | archive-date=January 7, 2012 | title=Logic Pro 9 Product Page on Mac App Store | work=Apple, Inc. | access-date=December 9, 2011}}</ref>

This version of Logic Pro Studio 9 no longer allowed users to access any microtunings in [[Scala (software)|Scala]] format other than those provided with the software by Apple.
