==Logic Express==
'''Logic Express''' was a "light" version of Logic Pro. The first version, Logic Express 6, was announced on January 15, 2004, for release in March 2004.<ref>Apple Computer, Inc. (2004b).

Logic Express was limited to two-channel stereo mixdown, while Logic Pro can handle multichannel [[surround sound]]; Logic Express also lacked support for TDM/DAE systems, high-end [[Audio Control Surface|control surfaces]] and Distributed Audio Processing. Both could handle up to 255 audio tracks, depending on system performance ([[CPU]], [[hard disk]] [[throughput]] and [[seek time]]).

Logic Express 7 was released alongside Logic Pro 7 on September 29, 2004.

Logic Express 8 came with 36 software instruments and 73 effect plug-ins, including almost all of those in the Logic Pro Package. Those that it didn't include are Sculpture, a physical modelling synthesiser; the "vintage" instruments (the EVB3 tonewheel organ, the EVD6 Clavinet and the EVP88 Electric Piano), however a cut-down version of these are included with the [[GarageBand]] instruments; Space designer, a convolution reverb effect; and delay designer, an advanced delay effect.

Logic Express was discontinued in 2011, when Logic Pro moved to the Mac App Store for $199.99.
