• VCA Groups (04:15) - Learn about the new VCA groups feature. By assigning channel strips to a VCA group, the VCA master fader is used to send out a control signal that offsets the level sent out by each channel strip in the group equally, regardless of their relative levels to each other.

• Smart Quantize (03:30) - Explore this new “musical” quantize algorithm where note ends, velocities, and proximity to the grid are evaluated, resulting in nearby notes getting placed on or close to the grid while the timing and position of notes farther away are preserved.

• Markers (02:31) - The dedicated Marker button has been removed from the Track Header, and the go to next/previous marker function has been modified.

• Fades, Flex & Feel (01:46) - See how the new real time fade files work on Apple Loops, even when using flex pitch simultaneously! And how Apple Loops can be played back at multiples of their original tempo.
