Nunstummy Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Logic will always be my primary DAW, but lately I’m doing more and more song writing, sampling and sound design on my iPad. Several free apps from Ampify (Launhpad, Blocs Wave & Groovebox) got me hooked, and now I’m looking at other iOS instruments, effects and even DAWs. If Logic was available for iOS, I’m not sure I’d use it! Logic is very capable in my studio, where I have keyboards, audio interfaces and control surfaces all hooked up and ready to go. I’m not looking to replace my studio with my iPad. These iOS apps are different, innovative and have specific purposes. “Mobile” music production is something different. These iOS apps are typically designed differently for touch screen, and they’re easy and fun. There are iOS DAWs like Cubasis, BeatMaker 3, Auria Pro and Apple GarageBand but I don’t know if these would fit into my workflow. For now, I’m enjoying several music tools for iOS and the mobile advantages of taking my iPad wherever I go. Is anybody else using iOS music apps feeding Logic, as part of their workflow?

in.name.only Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Hi Nunstummy, I don't use iOS apps but I'm aware Moog synths and effects are free for a limited time on the app store. Thought I'd let you know. If I'm away I take my laptop and a little Akai keyboard. I've got Tracktion Waveform which is a free DAW, and has some nifty programs to easily write midi patterns and chord progressions. Can then just save the midi and transfer the over to Logic when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Yes I use the iPad all the time. Then finish projects and logic on my MacBook Air. there’s also a function that you export to iOS then open up the project on your iPad and add tracks in garageband etc. with AUV3 plug-ins, synths and then go back-and-forth it’s amazing. They complement each other. Also: Logic Remote app on ipad is amazing. Also there is a possibility that we might get a better garage band for the new iPad Pro or maybe even logic light in June at WWDC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunstummy Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Lots of speculation on these forums about Logic on iOS, but think of all the work to re-jig Logic for touch-screen. I don’t think it’ll happen. Enhancing GB for touch makes more sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Something IS coming. There wasn't a meaningful update in iOS garageband for about 3 years now...? Apparently apps are restricted to use 5 GB of RAM in iOS 14 /iPAD OS 14. The new iPad Pro has 16 GB of RAM.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
