Apple has recently released the upgrade from their previously released Logic Pro with Logic Studio. This collection of professional tools is designed to give those musically inclined users everything they're looking for if they want to simulate their own recording studio quality-like arrangements.

Logic Studio includes several applications, one of which is the upgraded Logic Pro 8. Its biggest change is the new intuitive interface with the same renowned sound quality and rock-solid timing.

Also included is the Soundtrack Pro 2, which integrates videos into any musical arrangement composed with Logic Pro. Studio Instruments, Studio Effects and Studio Sound Library all help complement any production with various applications and sound clips to enhance its overall effect.

The Logic Studio suite also introduces MainStage, a powerful live performance rig which adapts to various sound quality environments set to the user's liking. The screen controls can link software and hardware knobs, faders and buttons, so as to make any gear compatible while performing live.

The entire package is available at the Apple Store at US$ 499. Registered Logic Pro 7 users, however, can upgrade to Logic Studio for an additional US$ 199. And for those who purchased Logic Pro 7 on or after August 1, 2007, they are eligible for a free upgrade to Logic Studio sans shipping and handling.
