Ratio Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I had to write it. He has been working on logic for almost 30 years since version 5 on PC. I wonder what kind of people work on the ipad? What kind of professional wants to use an iPad while poking at it with his fingers? It reminds me of the time when I was doing midi in Roland Mc 50 🙂 It seems to me that the introduction of logic on the iPad is to interest children who later buy a large mac and Logic Pro. I don't think it's serious to use an iPad for music production and mixing. Unless I'm too old 🙂 Greetings Andrzej, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 My guess is the biggest use case is iPad-only musicians, or people using it as a pre-production sketchpad to play with ideas etc, or mobile recording tool, to later work on the projects for real in Logic on the Mac. I'm sure the longer it's been out, we (and Apple) will get a better idea of who's using it and why. Just because it's not that appealing to me, doesn't mean there aren't people who can use and enjoy it, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLH3 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I'm too old too but I think it's also dependent of your style of music. You can sketch a simple idea for a rap or simple piano/bass/drums song on the go in a low cost flight for Pattaya but for the time now it seems obvious you will not produce a 40 more tracks orchestral piece. It will change maybe, with either bigger screens (not so portable!) or maybe stereoscopic googles, 3d gesture capture, huge amount of storage for orchestral libraries and so on. Anyway, I hate collective means of transportation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analogika Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 It is not so much about now. But in ten years’ time, the generation growing up now won’t be using traditional computers unless they have to, for some specific need not addressed by iPad (or other tablets, should they ever achieve meaningful market presence) or phones. Logic for iPad (and iPad itself) may not be at a “professional” use level at this time — but for a 1.0, it’s a damn running start, and neither Logic nor iPad will stand still.

David Nahmani Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 There is a large base of Apple customers who own an iPad but not a Mac. This version of Logic Pro is for them. In fact some of the more serious Logic Pro for iPad users may end up deciding to get a Mac to go further with Logic Pro. I've already seen it happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCProject Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 So, is the consensus Logic Pro for iPad is essentially GarageBand Pro for iPad? It sure seems like the dream of round-trip exchange between macOS and ipadOS isn’t going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure seems like the dream of round-trip exchange between macOS and ipadOS isn’t going to happen. No, it's far superior to GB....like it is on MacOS. WRT the cross-platform "dream" - it works OK already/will improve for stock Logic plugs. You're undoubtedly talking about 3rd-party plugs/sample libraries, etc. When third-party developers eventually move across to AUv3, this will become a reality, but for now - few of the "big" players offer AUv3 plugs. Logic Pro for iPad is 4 months old....so investing the time/resources in writing/modifying AUv2 plugs (to AUv3) for iPadOS / MacOS hasn't been appealing to devs as the hosting app (Logic) didn't exist on the iPad....and AUv2 works fine on MacOS. Give both Apple/3rd party devs time before writing things off. It'll happen, but not overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCProject Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Sure, Logic for iPad is far more capable than GB but it is still pretty crippled compared to Logic for Mac simply because it lacks AU support. Yes, it supports AUv3 but just managing different plugin formats across 2 platforms is a deal-killer for me (and many/most others - I'd guess). Who has projects with ZERO 3rd-party content? Oh well. Gotta start somewhere, sometime. Here's hoping cross-platform equivalency improves over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lazar Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 A few years ago I used to produce music with a PC, software, keyboards, guitars and monitors in my ‘studio’ at home just for pleasure . Alas, along came children and that studio turned into a nursery… for someone like me making music on the iPad is the only viable solution I have to indulge in my passion, still just for shear pleasure, nothing more ✌🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
