Apple's version 13.0 of Logic Pro for Mac introduces a new AI-powered Intelligent Assistant feature, but it is locked behind an Apple Creator Studio subscription costing $12.99 per month or $129 per year. Customers who paid $199.99 for the one-time purchase version will not get the feature.
According to Apple's release notes, the intelligent assistant (beta) requires an Apple Creator Studio subscription, a Mac with Apple silicon, and macOS 27 or later. The notes for the one-time purchase version do not mention Intelligent Assistant at all.
Apple customers who are growing tired of features being locked behind a subscription will obviously be disappointed to learn this news. Apple's October announcement omitted the subscription requirement, stating only that the assistant requires macOS 27 Golden Gate or later on an Apple Intelligence-capable Mac and is available in U.S. English only. Powered by Apple-built and third-party AI models, the feature helps creators navigate production workflows, start a new song, set up a vocal track from a single prompt, or refine an active project.
