Testing Chord ID: Is It Worth Upgrading to Logic Pro 12?

#LogicPro12 #Applecreatorstudio #apple Logic Pro 12 introduced Chord ID, a feature that automatically detects chords from MIDI and audio. In this video, I fully test Logic Pro 12 Chord ID on piano and guitar, starting with simple triads and pushing it all the way to sevenths, extensions, and complex jazz chords. You will see what Logic Pro 12 Chord ID gets right, where it breaks down, and who this feature is actually for. I also show how Chord ID works with Session Players, how to edit detected chords, and whether you can rely on it for real songwriting and production. If you are a producer, guitarist, pianist, songwriter, or Logic Pro user, this video will help you decide if Chord ID is a workflow upgrade or just a rough starting point. Covered in this video: • Logic Pro 12 Chord ID explained • Chord detection on piano vs guitar • Simple chords vs complex harmony • Jazz chords, extensions, and color tones • Session Players following detected chords • Real limitations of AI chord detection Bottom line: Chord ID is useful, but it does not replace ears, theory, or musicianship.
