Quick Facts

On January 6, 2025, Apple published an update for Logic Pro 11 on Mac, available via the Mac App Store.

I didn’t write a post upon launch day as the update is so minor that it is almost negligible, but not really, as it fixes an important bug that has plagued Logic Pro, annoyingly, for quite sometime.

Per the Logic Pro teams sole release note this is a very minor update indeed:

Auto Input Monitoring now works as expected.

Logic Pro for Mac release notes

I’ve been running the latest 11.1.2 update on my M1 Max Macbook Pro since release day and everything on my end has been fine. If anything this latest update, has made Logic Pro 11 more responsive, performant, and less buggy overall. Please note that as of this post I am running macOS 15.2. New and old projects feel just as snappy as ever. Auto Input Monitoring working as expected brings piece of mind as one composes, produces, and records audio into Logic Pro.

I agree with the Logic Studio Training blog notes about the 11.1.2 release:

Stability improvements to keep your sessions running smoothly.

Bug fixes for an even better Logic Pro experience.

However, they incorrectly state that 11.1.2, “Requires Apple M1 chip or later…”

You can use Logic Pro on any Intel or M-Series Mac that supports macOS Sonoma 14.4 or later.

macOS Sonoma 14.4 Is Compatible With The Following Macs:

The following Logic Pro features require an M-Series Mac, as I wrote in November of 2024, when discussing the 11.1 release;

“The clock is ticking on Logic Pro support for your Intel based system. Time marches on.
The following features are currently exclusive to Logic Pro for Apple Silicon:
– Note: That in order to use the features listed below you must be running Logic in “(Universal)” mode and not “Open Using Rosetta Mode” in order for the Apple Silicon exclusive features to be available on the Mac.
– Stem Splitter requires a Mac with Apple Silicon or an iPad with M1.
– ChromaGlow requires a Mac with Apple Silicon or an iPad with M1.
I expect the list above will continue to expand and in my experience Logic Pro 11.0 and newer installs of the program on Intel-based systems are less performant overall compared to similarly specced Logic Pro 11 Apple Silicon-based systems.”

Before You Update, Things to Know

Check out my post about the 11.1.1 release to review some best practices when updating your current Logic Pro install. As always update with caution, and time your updates with your current project schdule in mind.

As I wrote in my Logic 11.1.1 release post;

“Overall I’m happy to see Logic Pro get another “free” update for Mac based users who already own a license of the product and have a compatible system. Let’s keep ’em coming Apple.”

The same sentiment is still present today. Thanks Apple!
