Logic Pro X is a good start to learn music recording and mixing. The problem above is a frequently asked question for many beginners. Don't worry, in this post, I would like to share the most effective method to help you use Spotify with Logic Pro X to do a remix.
Part 1. Djay Pro Spotify not Working: Best Solution
Let's come straight to the point. If you have a favorite song on Spotify, and you want to get it into Logic for remixing, then you require a third-party music converter to help you reach the goal.
The reason is simple. Each track from Spotify is protected and prevented from re-editing and remixing in an unauthorized software. Logic Pro X doesn't get the Spotify integration. So users are not available to add Spotify songs to Logic Pro X for mixing.
To remove the protection from Spotify audios, AudFree Spotify Music Converter. is the best choice for you. Specially designed for Spotify Music, this smart software is dedicated to converting Spotify online streams to local MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, M4A, M4B, and other compatible formats for Logic Pro X. It is worth mentioning that the converted Spotify files keep 100% original quality and 100% raw metadata, including artists, titles, albums, album arts, and so on.
Utilizing the powerful help from AudFree, it is simple to get and play Spotify songs with Logic Pro X.

Then drag the item and drop it to AudFree' s main window.
