Early Reviews Praise New Functionalities
Initial reviews are coming in, shedding light on individual app enhancements. Users have noted increased functionality and user-friendliness, particularly in Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro.
– Users can now conduct Transcript Search and Beat Detection for enhanced editing.
– Logic Pro introduced era-specific tools such as Chord ID and the Synth Player, proving beneficial for music creators.
