That’s what’s cool about this channel. Everyone can tell you about specs of a device and blah blah blah. You went and wrote and recorded a whole song. I think it’s cool for something on the go or whatever. You know kids these days doing things.

You can use a Bluetooth mouse with iPad … this makes it easier to cut and paste

You can also record tracks in GarageBand IOS and transfer it to LogicPro IOS☝️

Wonderful review! Thanks ever so much for making it!

That was my era of music! Thanks for sharing those tricks like vocal doubling. Your song came out a lot like HuskerDu's Warehouse Songs and Stories. From the ancient times. 😊

The drummer can follow a track; it's just that the interface is a little different. The touch interface is a little hit or miss, but I think things are moving in the right direction. It's amazing that we can have an inexpensive, lightweight, truly portable studio that fits in your backpack. Thanks for the video and the track. I hope you get your records back someday 😅

I’m really enjoying Logic on the iPad! I’ve never seen your channel before but i truly appreciate you using it in a real life demonstration and also being transparent that it’s not the right application for your workflow but it could be for others. The value for me is I travel a bunch and the ability to track ideas is priceless. The reason this works for me is the form factor but also i can use my iPad for everything else I use it for. Have a great weekend dude

Man that tune jams! You have a little Minneapolis Power Trash in your blood man!

Enjoyed your painfully honest approach about the iPad's limitations. I think the proposed future benefit for me as a professional credited recordered composer is getting away from the confines of the home studio to a (lol) park bench after a brisk walk, clearing my head and pulling out the pad and picking up where I left off. to date, I've used Jump Desktop to work this way and hopeful with the iPad software that the cloud storage quickens and pulls this all together. I'm hopeful for a more collaborative writing future as well with Apple devices. Thoughts?

I agree iPad seems logical but after 10 years it hasn’t totally happened…I am frustrated with learning logic it is so annoying…I will watch tutorial because it is seems to have some cool features

Updates for Life ? No. After a couple years Logic teils you that your Computer or iOS does not meet requirements to run Logic. Than you have to buy a new Computer and pay Full price for the Version of Logic that Runs on this new Computer

Hi Jason, well done tutorial, congratulations. Two points I see differently: for me there is no either/or with Logic iPad7Mac, only and. I start something, sometimes in bed, on the deckchair and see it's on a promising path. So far I haven't had to boot up a computer or add any peripherals. Now it's worth the effort to switch to the computer. I don't transfer the project via the cloud, but with airdrop. It works great. I also come from the guitar, but I rarely play it any more. As a guitarist, I automatically have more devices on the iPad, which is not so easy.. You describe the problems of using a new program and compare it with a program that you have been using blindly for years. Don't you think the problem will simply disappear over time? I'm sure it does. I‘m Logic user since it‘s very first version and iPads for a year now, and happy with both

Very interesting, informative video 👍🏻. I'm a longtime user of Garageband on iPad/iPhone and have recently decided I'm ready to move up from that to something a bit more capable. However, I'm not interested in a subscription nor is my iPad Pro new enough to support LP so Cubasis is what I'm toying around with presently. Maybe at some point in the future when I get a newer iPad I'll look at Logic.

For the life of me I cannot get a remotely decent tone from anything in Amp Designer on logic for iPad. I know it’s not my guitar, cable, interface, headphone because I get fantastic tones with ToneStack. I can’t figure it out but I just cannot get a usable tone.

Bro loves to yap

Nice video. Like you, as an old Logic for Mac user, I tried Logic for iPad and decided not to subscribe. The experience made me try out Logic Remote for iPad which is a free program from Apple. Logic Remote let’s you use an iPad for a lot of the user interface functions to control alógico running on your Mac. You can even use two iPads controlling different functions at the same time. I found Logic Remote to be more useful than alógica Oro for iPad.

Cool to see you make a song. Not sure it’s a video you’d want to make, but I would be fun to have a series of videos about the process of creating a song and what tech you’d need. I remember your headphone and mic videos were great.

I tried like you used logic since emagic days ,won’t be subscribing it’s ok but not into subscriptions and all my favourite plug ins can’t be used. I think it’s a hobby version and the iPad just doesn’t feel like a proper device for serious work! I love the iPad for reading watching videos etc but the OS is lacking when it comes to heavy lifting! As a scratchpad it’s ok but £49 a year no thanks 😅

Great video and awesome demo song! Here’s a tip : you could just AirDrop your LogicPro for iPad project to your Mac in a few seconds instead of uploading it to iCloud!

Thanks for the video using your actual workflow. Hopefully guitarists will be complimented more in future updates. Was informative - thank you!

I'm hearing some Smithereens influence.

No way am I subscribing to any DAW. Better to BOYCOTT this product by Apple before they try to start imposing subscriptions on Logic Pro X for the MacBook and Mac Pro. This is a ‘Test Run’ by Apple to ‘test the waters’. If we let them get away with this now, you should be aware of what the future will hold. I recently walked away from Pro Tools for this very reason. BOYCOTT each and every DAW Company that attempts to impose subscriptions.

Stop talk do more...

Keyboard and mouse are compatible with Ipad so what about that?

Hi ….I’m a fingerstyle guitarist & a RU-vidr I use to record on Logic Pro- IPAD WITH LEWITT LCT-240 condenser Mic + Acoustic guitar inbuilt pickup for ( 2 layers of recording) But still I’m not satisfied with the guitar output…. I think i m missing 3rd party VST effects like on Mac ……can u plz suggest how I can get better output ( specially for Fingerstyle cover recordings )

nice recording,how did you do drums,sounds so good

Great video Jason very informative watching your creative process …

Is m4 iPad pro enough for audio mixing ?

Very good song! Very well explained video. Subscribed. 😊

Thanks. My experience is that it takes time to get your head around another way of working. After working with it for several nights in a row I feel I can find my way around easily and produce tracks efficiently. I make electronic music and use Synthmaster one and 2, which produce desktop class sound on the iPad. This gives me hope for other manufacturers to port Serum, for example.

That was cool. Thanks for sharing the experience.

I’m absolutely pissed off that I can’t save my composer/producer information using the iPad app… What a big miss that is.

Great song ! love the vocal interlude in the middle. Is there a change of key in the song ?

I’ve just subscribed to Logic Pro iPad. I can’t see myself getting comfortable with it unless I can import all my shortcut keys from Logic Mac and use a mouse. MacBook Air M1 is probably the answer for me.

Great review. And I liked your demo. You pegged the era. I was thinking Toad the Wet Sprocketish. (I like them, not a slam). Drummer sounds amazing.

Yeah! Cracking.

How many of us use an Altoid box to store picks?

I use LP for iPad without a keyboard… Honestly, don’t know what’s the point of using the iPad with a keyboard in substitution for my MacBook. I like touch the touch screen feel of the iPad simply because MacBooks lack the Touch Screen feature. All my 3rd party plugins for Mac aren’t available on iPad. So I just connect my Microfreak and Brumdrute impact to my AI to my iPad and just record my jams…

Hi there. I appreciate your painfully honest opinion. I just purchased an iPad and I’m definitely thinking of buying or subscribing now Logic Pro. I’m painfully new to the whole DAW scene so I’m definitely researching what works best for me.

You are channeling Bob Mould or The Smithereens. I didn't know that Logic Pro's license includes lifetime updates. I am a Windows guy, but I have been an iPad user since the first version. I have Cubasis 3, though for making music on the iPad I mess around with Aum patches. For a bare-bones audio interface that is really good and not too pricey, I like the UAD Volt series.

How strange, I bought a a new photography book yesterday called yesterday by Robert Freeman and it looks like you have the cover picture tattooed on your arm. Only clicked on as I’ve just downloaded Logic Pro for my iPad🤯🤯

I’ve been swapping projects back and forth between my iMac and iPad via iCloud and it’s literally instantaneous so something was ‘not quite right’ when you tried this I’d suggest. Since I am still using an Intel iMac I like how I can now easily share recordings from AUv3 plugins on the iPad that are only currently M1 supported. Similarly, if I want to drop a stem from say UVI Falcon into a track I’m developing on the iPad I can now do that more easily. I tend to do a lot of brainstorming on the iPad so I’ll probably invest in a 1-year annual subscription and device next steps at the end of that year.

Excellent video. If uploading a project to the cloud is slow for you, try Airdropping from your iPad to Mac (and vice versa). I use it all the time.

Drummers who have opinions probably aren’t just drummers, they most likely play other instruments as well. Trying to explain something to a guitar player can come across as an opinion.

everyone i have seen reviewing it say mostly the same thing...they have been waiting forever for an ipad version of logic and then the final review is basically a big, meh. lol --- it's a hard pass for me, i always figured working on an ipad would be a hassle.

Excellent song

Excellent excellent video, and excellent excellent song! So true that as songwriters we never often know where the inspiration will come from..be it the lyrics, or grooves., or from Up Above or whatever...We only need our tools to be easy to use, and not to get in the way and stifle the creativity. The drum tool in Logic sounded great, as the drums kick, and sound powerful. I would have enjoyed a few "in the process " audio clips prior to the finished song. The platforms we use to record the music are ultimately irrelevant, as getting the music or video completed with an enhancement of our creativity is a reasonable expectation from most of the modern DAWs and tools at our disposal. AI is also an incredible aid to this process. People sometimes laugh when I say that I use Band In The Box, to aid in my songwriting, because they don't know how good it's current capabilities are, but over the years it has become a fantastic idea generator. Any tool that works and helps us create is a winner as far as I am concerned,, and when Apple has a good product, they often make it a great one with their constant updates, and I think Logic Ipad will be a great one over time as they keep improving it. For people who need or want the portability, it's one of the only hi-level products around. For the final mix on the tune I might bring the vocals up a bit more in the mix. ( we can all be producers and engineers now with these excellent products.) This video was really a great demonstration of the power of RU-vid and the way it can be used to review and show us about a product in a really meaningful way.

In my opinion! If you own logic or final cut on you macbook 💻 is not worthy paying subscription for those limited apps.

Had a shot on Garage band a few years back now. Didn't make the top 20 unfortunately.

Thanks for the review on this! The song sounded very 90's to me and was very good as well! I really miss that era of music.

Cool, was hoping you would do something on this, sucks its a subscription but it takes a lot to develop stuff of this caliber

First band that came to mind was the romantics , good song mang, for sure relatable

Just wrote my first song on Logic Pro with my iPad thru the UA Volt 2. Love it!

The instrument library on iPad uses tags vs. the desktop version that has the type of instruments which I find a lot easier to find sounds.

I dug the song… shocked that I never heard a song like that until this video 🎸🎹🎼🎤

Great video and enjoyable view of the new iPad version. Loved the song to

well said - actually a good review without even seeing the the flow.

My biggest problem with Logic Pro for iPad is the lack of third-party plug-in support and you can’t import your own soundfont patches.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I liked your song!

The subscription only aspect makes me nervous. Could this be coming to the Mac version of Logic next? Please God no!

Since you've worked with Logic Pro on desktop for so long, perhaps you can answer this question... Is there any way to turn off the Staff view in the MIDI note editing window? I only want to see the piano roll, never need to see the notes on a staff... for any reason! I'd be grateful if you have any tips or hints.

The pricing is ridiculous. If you use Logic for another 20 years, the iPad version would cost $1,000, assuming that the price doesn't go up.

If you connected your iPad to your Studio Display while using LOGIC PRO for iPad wouldn’t that have fixed your battery and space / screen size issues?

Great song! Also thanks for the mic info.

Sounds great! Which drum kit did you use?

Great sound J🤘 There’s only one thing that I would have done a bit different, and that’s the backup vocals. I think they were a tiny bit too loud compaired to your main vocal. Other than that, thumbs up👍👍🏿👍🏻👍🏽👍

Have we heard from Cary yet?

It definitely has a follow for the drummer.

This my first time to this channel and my favorite part is that this guy didn’t try to sell me a product instead gave his opinion on the product he’s using

Enjoyed this........................But as an aside........ I have a Mac Pro sitting under my desk that cost me about $5,000.00 plus software. It may as well be a boat anchor because it can't use the updates that Apple so conveniently give away once one pays the one up cost as you point out. What's the point? They only give one updates for free to make one buy another computer. Bloody expensive updates I reckon having to spent thousands every five years for a new box.

Did I see you using your QWERTY keyboard to control the iPad? Was that Bluetooth or plugged into a hub? Can you use the mouse as well?

Sounded great! Sadly my 2017 IPad won’t run Logic for iPad…….so I’ll carry on with my MacBook Air!

Answered a lot of my questions. Thanks much!

HI! Its possible make sheet music in my iPad whit this app?

Awesome video dude!

Couch producer candy

Love the song Jason.

Loved the somg❤😊

This is interesting. Love these kinds of videos that only focus on one thing in great detail!

Love this kind of a video!

I liked it. Kind of a Smithereens vibe.😊

Fender FTW 🙂

Great video.

Thanks for this video. Gonna dig deep into this one

Nice tune! Sounds a little like the Smithereens.

Love the content! Do you know how to make a track in mono? I tried on ipad but didnt find it

Cool video

A worthy effort, nice!

Typewriter jockeys are all whining about this or that but it’s all in your head . This is so great even in this first version. If you take a deep breath stop worrying about which plugin you can’t use ( yet) or what key command isn’t available. This is a touch device . It’s ten times more intuitive but your marriage to the Qwerty and mouse isn’t . It’s pointless to keep complaining because you guys with typewriters under your arms all resent having your exclusiveness threatened. You know people who Don’t resent this are seizing your missed opportunities in the field were your not stuck in front of your computer. Give it time you won’t regret it. The typewriter won’t be going into the future with us because it’s a boat anchor accessory. I’ve already paid for my Mac ultra twin with two gigs using Logic on the iPad Pro …cause it’s a game changer.✌️👽

Subscription model? DO NOT WANT.

Try to go to work instead

Great video J, cool song.

That sounded very good give my records back good song!

Thanks for the review! This was very helpful in understanding how this program works on an iPad. And like you, I’m old school when it comes to DAW recording, so I’m not sure if I’m going to want to subscribe to it.
