Midi learn. I noticed you using the pads on the Launchkey mini for drums, which is great. The pads on my Akai MPK 2 Mini sadly didn’t work. No worries, I thought, let’s just use the midi learn feature. Ah. Not there. 😢
It’s keeping me on the couch creating loops with the iPad on my lap. Then after a few nights when I go to create on the MacBook Pro I need to get into that again. The MacBook is more unlimited because of all the plugins I have, but there’s something about the balance between possibilities and constraints on the iPad that fuels creativity. The big challenge is making full songs. Haven’t gotten around to that yet. That’s my next beachhead.
I'm loving the iPad version of Logic Pro, too. It's simply great. Just two things are missing, a proper external monitor support and the complete notation section, which I really need. Now I'm experimenting with a collaboration between Logic Pro and Dorico on the iPad to get these things done…
There are a few other minor things missing. Flex Time and Flex Pitch being some. This was pushed out to meet a deadline and is only version 1.0 and is stellar thus far.
Apple did great job with Logic Pro for iPad. I love the ease with which you can move projects back and forth between iPad and Mac Book. OK, there are more fine detail settings for instruments on MacBook compared with the iPad, but these MacBook setting are still preserved when the project is moved to the iPad and back. I use a Novation LaunchPad Pro Mk3 as both a Midi Control surface and Midi instrument with Logic Pro on my MacBook, but this currently only works as a Midi Instrument with Logic Pro for iPad. I can live with this, because what Logic Pro for iPad has over and above its Mac OS counterpart are its own control surfaces that you can pull up and use to control and play instruments etc, making it possible to be a standalone setup, unlike the Mac Version. My 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro has 2TB of storage, so I had more than enough room to install the entire Logic Pro for iPad sound library, which is virtually the same as sound library on the Mac version. When testing how well moving projects for Mac to iPad and vice versa worked, I initially tried using the Mac Logic Pro demo project. This worked, which was amazing when you consider how large this project is with all the content it includes, but I did have to remember to save it on my Mac to "include Apple Sound Library Content" otherwise when I loaded it on the iPad it would advise me there was some missing content, despite my sound libraries on both MacBook and iPad being virtually identical. There are also some third-party plugins and instruments on my Mac that I cannot currently use on my iPad, but I don't think this will be a major issue, when you consider how much is already available from within Logic Pro itself.
In my opinion, the best DAW on a mobile device. The more I dig in to Logic for iPad, the more I am floored by the amount of functionality they packed in this program. Most of the things people are complaining that Logic for iPad doesn’t do, haven’t dug deep enough.
True dude. I just tried Logic Pro, started about a week ago. I read somewhere someone complaining about it not having enough woodwind instruments. Actually we can tune any woodwind present to our likings by tinkering with the alchemy, reverbs, etc. So yes, those people haven’t dug enough.
Would love to see more tutorials on Logic Pro for iPad. As someone who has always wanted to get into music production but didn’t know where to start, this seems like a great setup to learn. As always, great content.
Great video I absolutely love Logic on iPad finally Apple brought it to iPad Pro users after years of talk from Apple about it. I’ve been using GarageBand for last 4-5 years but got frustrated with it because it’s so basic and watered down compared to Logic Pro on Mac. Now I’ve been using Logic Pro on iPad since it was released and I’m very happy with how it works and runs. I now have my mixer and automation, filters etc. 😂
great take! so many think iPadOS is inferior to macOS but the opposite is true, it will only get better from here, and the only way to get there where it's going is not having macOS on the iPad which enforces touch first designed Software from the ground up, a feature unique to iPadOS.
Would really want a long-term review of the Logic Pro for iPad. I have both the Mac and iPad version and so far I am enjoying the iPad more as it is more fun and intuitive. I am an amateur so I am probably missing lots of advanced features on the mac but roundtripping support is definitely the most important feature for me
When do you think the iPad version will come with ALL the software instruments and sounds the Mac version comes with? I mean, the library isn't fully fleshed out. It's missing a lot. There is no point offering 1TB+ storage options for a tablet computer in my opinion otherwise.
I can see in the very near future using the iPad for creation and tracking (mainly due to the touch screen) and then taking it to the Mac for serious mixing (mainly due to 3rd party plugins)
Great video! I’ve been on the fence about using Logic Pro on my iPad. This video makes me want to give it a try. I’d love to see a video of you giving a step by step of building a track. That would be very helpful!
Great intro to Logic Pro for iPad. I am curious to see how the new iPad Pro with M4 works with Logic Pro and the features that open up from the upgrade. I originally ordered the 512 GB version of the new iPad Pro but changed my order to the 1 TB version just for the extra RAM which should make it a powerhouse of a setup for Logic Pro for iPad. Maybe I'll end up recording more often.
I cant believe after all this time and with all this crazy technology that latency is still a problem with wireless headphones. This just has to be solved. Tracking wirelessly is the dream and we need it already!
Interesting and well done! I was a logic fan 20yrs ago and when I took a break and wanted to get back in I switched over to Presonus Studio One. Felt logic was getting stale… but this mobile version of logic appears better than Presonus’ iPad version (Capture). Do you know if and how well this logic mobile can handle multi track recording via usb? Also would you recommend only using this for capture and then moving over to a bigger machine for any post? I have a bunch of virtual instruments, sample libraries, UAD and Fabfilter plugins I use that I’m not sure if would be compatible with iOS.. seems in terms of horse power the iPad should have what it takes. Plugins won’t take up much storage but virtual instruments can get big.. just thinking out loud. Enjoy following your channel! Keep up the great work.
Can someone just please compare this product to Roland Zenbeats? If you want to make it as simple as what Zenbeats can’t do or sucks at compared to Logic Pro on an iPad.
Would you rather recommend the current iPad Pro or iPad Air (13 inch) for this purpose? I have the second generation of iPad Pro and Logic is just so laggy when I use more than two tracks ... I have a MacBook Air M1 but I prefer writing music at school (music major) and use the iPad on the daily for sheet music annotations, hand writing composing and reading. Thank you!
just found your channel, I have subscribed now, but myself I have been using logic and apple since 1997 ish, had cubase originally then moved to Logic, I was curious and excited about this Logic be made available on iPad, enjoyed the review you have made, going to try it out for myself now.
IMHO Logic Pro for iPad should be included with the Mac version, and if not then it should definitely be included in the education bundle. I don't see the need to pay for a subscription on this. I would however love to replace Apple News+, or Apple Arcade for this as part of the Apple One Subscription. Other than that... The subscription model is not for me.
Still not convinced. How much was your ‘basic’ setup? 12” M2 iPad Pro + Smart Keyboard! Compare this to an entry level M1 MacBook Air with a full version of Logic (which would come in under £1k). Not for me at the moment.
Yes, I did get the Apple dongle, but I can't plug it into my Apple 3 port adapter. It has a C port, but it doesn't transmit the sound to the headphones. I have to use them separately.
I can’t reduce the latency caused by Novation, & Iloud Micro monitors. The monitors will only work in Bluetooth mode . . . and the Novation keys are “late.” Please help.
Hi -- I'm a musician and I'm trying to decide between the 11 inch and 13 inch iPad Air 6. I mostly create video productions comprised of voice and acoustic guitar, but sometimes do projects that crank up to about 20 tracks, with submixes. I do like the more portable size of the 11", but am I likely to find the 11" a bit cramped for the more multi track projects?
It doesn’t work on my iPad Pro and it’s a subscription. I hate subscription models so I’ll be giving it a miss. £50 a year May not seem much but for an app?
Thanks for the review, I like the latter part of the review much better than the beginning, and to be honest I'm really upset and bummed about the subscription model Apple has rolled out! I'm not alone on this... Why not just charge $100 and be done with it? I think it's not fair for people that have an iPad and a very limited budget because after years of use your paying way more than it would cost on a laptop! Anyways, I can't ever imagine giving up on Logic Pro for Mac, not to mention how great Logic Remote is? Anyways, Apple should make it available as a one time purchase so that when your iPad is outdated it will still run, otherwise it's going to be throwing money into a black hole for years! This planned obsolescence model needs to be rejected, otherwise it just makes for more wasted resources, and quite frankly Apple knows this, yet they do it anyways!
same here, how is 45 a year a bargain, you're paying for it every year, but my logic pro x i paid for once (like it should be), we should boycott these subscription models, it's a way of ripping us off
Hi Mark I really appreciate you great support for all of us followers of you . I just installed the logic and I want to know if possible used external keyboard 🎹 from comander Alessis Q49 on software of Logic Pro
Hmmmm .. can you do non destructive editing like on the computer Daws? For instance I use Reaper, if I go in to a project/song and start adding stuff or tweaking things .. when I’m done it will ask me if I want to save my work .. often times I’ll say no and quit Reaper and none of the tweaks I did are saved, however in Cubasis every little tweak I make is automatically saved unless I hit the undo button after each individual tweak, I don’t like that .. I’d rather make all the changes .. then if I’m happy hit save, that’s how Ive worked for 30 years. Also if I fly in a midi file with different time signature markers .. is logic going to read those? Cubasis doesn’t .. another big bummer. Thanks
Can someone explain to me if there’s a benefit to using Logic Pro on iPad while mainly using Logic on my MacBook I just wanna record myself without having to run back to my keyboard to stop and record
Yeah for music prod it matters. I used an 11” with Zenbeats app and even though it’s not Logic Pro, they both use the same auv3’s; when I use my new 12.9” I can see the whole auv3 menus. It also dramatically increased the amount of bars across the top I can view w/o scrolling.
Can you turn up/down the headphone volume with this adapter? I’ve got one that won’t let me turn down the volume cause the iPad thinks it’s a HDMI output.
It’s a good first start..No selection tool, redundant clicks to get to (or use) tools, or to instantiate plugins in the mixer, lots of wasted space in the UI, but just fussy stuff im sure they’ll address down the road. Mind blowing though? No.
Hi, when I record a midi track using my Roland fp10, connecting it via a midi cable, the midi track gets recorded in the logicpro for iPad, however since I am using the sustain pedal on my Roland, the midi track has either too much sustain or if I reduce the sustain it becomes too little. Why doesn’t record just the way I use the sustain pedal?
@@MarkEllisReviews Thanks! I'll get the 2018 12.9" as for my use case it's enough (only music) :) I had the 11" before and it's a beast holding tons of tracks in garageband. Hopefully Logic Pro is the same..
I forgot to cancel the free trial 3 days ago and now I've payed for a full year...but what I take from this video is that it's like Bob Ross says: a happy accident. Can't wait to go home and hook up my bass and get some recording done!
Why? Would you pay 200 dollar instead, one time fee? The advantage with 5 bucks per month is that if you regret buying Logic Pro for iPad you don’t loose 200 bucks… Logic for Mac is worth every penny!
@@ErrkaPetti Frankly, I am a Digital Performer user, I don't like Logic, I find that it is one of the most il-logic-al DAW. But I understand it's a matter of habit. As for Final Cut Pro on I pad, why to pay for it when you have DaVinci Resolve, more powerful and *free*? I am a Mac user (exclusively) since 1984. And if I agree that Apple makes the best computers and the best operating systems, it also makes the worst applications…
@@ErrkaPetti One payment and free updates for life is the best model. It has worked very well for logic pro for macos. For 15 bucks a month, that's 180 bucks in a year. For 50 bucks a year, you pay the same price for 4 years as you would have for life, which is bullshit. I don't want to be a cash cow for all these subscriptions constantly reminding me of themselves stressing me out because i don't use them enough. A Netflix subscription is enough. Constantly having to take the subscription off and on again to save cash is simply nothing more than a big annoyance. And anyone who thinks this is customer-centric in any way is fooling themselves. "It's 2030, you'll own nothing, and you'll be happy." No, thanks.
Besides the subscription based turn off it really is not PRO. I feel it’s aiming into DJ and non musician territory. It lacks a lot of things that Logic Pro Mac has. This should actually be called Logic (without the PRO) or call it Garage Band Pro or Garage Band on steroids. I think is a great idea but it did fall short. I guess it depends of the user and how it’s going to be used. No Takes Folders, it does not run on most iPads, subscription based I think people that are going to record just audio will have a better experience using Multitrack Daw or if they want to use MIDI & Audio; Cubasis. Both are solid apps, no subscription needed they are better capable apps if you must record on an iPad. For Now Logic Pro Mac rules and it still king.
Yeah, you lost me at “subscription based” I’m sorry but I would MUCH rather pay for a program once and be done with it. I don’t care if it’s the best thing in the world, I’m not going to pay monthly for a program I sometimes like using along with my hobby.
I use guitar plugins using GarageBand. I love BiasFX mainly because I cannot use STL Tones on my iPad. But can Login Pro on an iPad use guitar plugins? I messed around and couldn’t see it.
