The latest stage in the evolution of the most-used professional audio/MIDI sequencer in the world, Logic Audio Version 4.5 features major enhancements to the mixer functionality. These include not only the introduction of extremely comprehensive Surround functionality, but also a new class of Audio Objects, called Audio Inputs, that significantly furthers the value of the integrated real-time effects system. Version 4.5 also supports the new Studio Description Language, an Emagic development for the description of MIDI devices that provides even more detailed control over complex studio setups. With these and other features based on feedback from Emagic's international professional user-base, Version 4.5 further demonstrates Emagic's ongoing commitment to help its customers maintain a creative and competitive edge in an increasingly more demanding market. Surround with Logic Audio For Logic Audio Version 4.5, Emagic has developed a uniquely powerful eight-channel Surround solution. The high channel count guarantees compatibility, even with the most extravagant Surround formats. Logic Audio allows complete freedom when it comes to designing the placement and movement of sounds in space because the Surround mode can be chosen at any time in any channel strip. All Surround movements can be completely automated. There is a separate fader to control LFE channel amount for each channel strip. Emagic's Surround system offers the certainty that the Surround mix meets the demands of current production processes and techniques. Audio mixer with enhanced functionality The audio mixer in Logic Audio Gold and Platinum is now supplemented by a further class of Audio Objects the physical inputs of an audio card can now be assigned to the new Audio Input Objects with which the input signals can be equipped with real-time effects via inserts and bus sends. Logic Audio 4.5, together with an audio card that provides an appropriate number of audio inputs, can therefore make the use of an external mixer superfluous. Audio Engine performance now optimized As part of Emagic's cross-platform strategy, Version 4.5 sees a further standardization of Logic's audio engine. Logic Audio Windows profits from this with shortened latency when playing real-time instruments (dependent on the driver used), improved fader latency, optimized VST plug-in support, software input monitoring and overall performance improvements.In conjunction with these developments, Emagic is also proud to be the first manufacturer to support Digidesign's Direct I/O under Windows. EASI now in Logic Audio Mac With Version 4.5, Logic Audio Macintosh users now also have the use of the EASI protocol at their disposal. The Enhanced Audio Streaming Interface (EASI) provides a future-orientated communication standard between audio hardware and software without limitations.
