Logic Pro X Recommended Specs

Logic Pro X - Technical Specifications. Minimum System Requirements. 4GB of RAM; Display with 1280-by-768 resolution or higher; OS X 10.11 or later; Requires 64-bit Audio Units plug-ins. Open GarageBand songs directly in Logic Pro X; Support for Core Audio–compliant MIDI and audio hardware. I'm in the process of setting up a modest home recording studio. I've chosen the QSC Touchmix 30 Pro as my interface and I'm awaiting delivery of an iMac (specs below) to complete the basic set up. In reading the system requirements for Apple's Logic Pro X I see the following: Requires 64 bit Audio Units plug ins. Ableton Live 10 / Logic Pro X / GarageBand 10 / Cubase Pro 10.5 / Digital Performer 10 / Studio One 4.5 / FL Studio 20 / Reason 11 / ProTools 2020 (.1).1 TRITON is not currently compatible with ProTools.
