Paid $200 for Logic Pro? Apple Says You Won’t Get This New Feature

According to Apple’s full release notes for version 13.0 of Logic Pro for Mac, released today, the new AI-powered Intelligent Assistant feature requires an Apple Creator Studio subscription for $12.99 per month or $129 per year. In other words, the feature is not available in the $199.99 one-time purchase version of Logic Pro.

Apple’s fine print on the Logic Pro release notes page:The intelligent assistant (beta) requires an Apple Creator Studio subscription, a Mac with Apple silicon, and macOS 27 or later.Indeed, the release notes for the one-time purchase version of Logic Pro for Mac version 13.0 do not mention Intelligent Assistant.

Apple says the Intelligent Assistant is powered by a combination of Apple-built and third-party AI models. The feature is designed to help creators “navigate production workflows, start a new song, set up a vocal track from a single prompt, or refine an active project.” Except for creators who opted to pay $199.99 upfront for Logic Pro, that is.Tags: Apple Creator Studio, Logic ProThis article, “Paid $200 for Logic Pro?
