Good to know, thank you.
That does look handy. And what about the other filters?
Wow, I never knew I needed this. Would be cool for them to implement it.
...and AQ808, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm much more of a performer-producer than an engineer-producer, so I've been getting along well with the iPad. That said, I do continue to be frustrated with iOS's shortcomings. I suppose the ideal solution would be to go the Macbook/Logic route, while still utilizing my Air1 for it's strengths.
In the end, my mixes will continue to be weak until I address my music room acoustics.
Good news! At the FabFilter forums, someone had asked about the unavailability of Spectrum Grab in the Auria plug-in Pro-Q 2, and the reply from FabFilter was:
"It's currently disabled in the Auria version of Pro-Q 2, primarily because it was designed to be triggered by a mouse over action, which is not possible on the iPad. We're planning to address this in a future update of our Auria plug-ins." (June 15 this year)
Plural, so apparently they're planning to update several or all of their Auria plug-ins.

Most of the people in this form have an ipad of some sort so this point doesn't really work for alot of people.
Great news indeed!
What I don't understand about this comparison is the omission of the Fabfilter plug-ins from the laptop set-up. Shouldn't it be: MacBook Pro 13" 128Gb ($1499) and Logic ($199) and Fabfilter bundle ($800 or $600 on sale right now) = $2498 (sale price $2298)?
Thaaaaaaank you sir lol
I'd advise buy some of these instead of spending your dollars on Pokemons.
My faves are timeless, saturn, proQ2 and volcano. I might buy as I miss them inbetween betas
...
Actually not. IMO you can do well without FabFilter using Logic, or Reaper, or what you prefer (go look at the interviews to producers on Computer Magazine, not all of them use FabFilter's, good as they may be).
It's true, instead, that Auria is way less worthy without these plugins
I disagree. Auria has channels by PSP and they are quite good. Of course the Fabfilters are better, just like they are better than Logic's built-in stuff. And Auria also has IAPs from PSP and other companies that are also very good. And there are non-Auria apps that can be used as well. I still feel that not including the cost of Fabfilter with the laptop does not give a even/fair comparison.
Also, you don't actually have to use an iPad Pro, I seem to be managing OK with an Air 2....
I make it work on my old iPad 2 (no Air...). So, somehow, yes. If you want to suffer go that way. I'm not speaking about what is feasible, am speaking about what is better.
Your own opinion, that I respect. Consider also the limitation of not using any plugin (which is not IAP in the Auria Store) more than once.
I think "suffering" is taking things a bit far, no? I'm perfectly happy with my setup.
I'm not denying the power of Logic on a Macbook, but your argument is full of rationalisations. Not everyone is the same or has the same needs. I see a lot of this on the forum at the moment, people who are convinced that only their point of view is right.
Sorry to have given you that idea, I really believe that everyone has the right to hold his/her opinion.
I use Auria (not so often, true) with my Pro, and still I regularly experience lags and annoying screen refreshing, especially when I edit automation. That was far worse on the iPad 2, not to say. For me this is as close to suffering (both in the sense of feel discomfort and have to bear) as is compatible with such an innoxious situation.
And ofc I try to rationalize, do you prefer that I'd simply stated my opinion without any argumentation? That said, as I stated from the beginning, everyone is free to have his/her way, and I'm light years far away from questioning this.
Would it really be possible to equally compare anyways? The processor and RAM on the Macbook will far outperform the iPad, especially with multiple plugins. It also has at least two USB 3 ports, HDMI, an SSD card reader, and a separate power connection! Not to mention the only way to get software onto an iPad is through their App Store!
So, I can see this comparison going the other way very quickly if we start weighing 1:1 comparisons.
I just want touch functionality on this laptop already and I'll be more than happy.
Of course, I'll never be able to ditch the iPad, since it really is a mobile gaming device here, and an OK Logic Remote.
...
Nor I will ditch my iPad(s)! I love making music with them and using Logic Remote and Touchable
But then you have to take all the other content of Logic into consideration. Not only do you get all the effects and filters you'll need but you also get Arperggiator, Chord player, several synths including the amazing Alchemy, better virtual instruments etc.
If we're talking value for money, i fail to see how anything beats Logic
Plan A: MacBook Pro 13" 128Gb ($1499) and Logic ($199) = $1698.
Plan B: iPad Pro 128G ($1099) and Auria Pro ($50) = $1149.
Plan A is $500 more than Plan B.
$500 will buy a LOT of additional apps for your iPad.
Plan A: MacBook Pro 13" 128Gb ($1499) and Logic ($199) and Fabfilter Bundle ($600) = $2298
Plan B: iPad Pro 128G ($1099) and Auria Pro ($50) and Fabfilter IAPs ($190) = $1339
Plan A is $959 more than Plan B.
$959 will buy a fuckload of apps.
I'm not going to argue which is better. That will depend on the user's goals and budget. My first post didn't argue that Auria is "better". I just questioned Zarv's method for getting the totals and the claim that Logic on a laptop is cheaper.
(Edited to remove the smiley when I wrote a B followed by a ) )
WTF? I wrote B followed by ), not a smiley.
Any sort of comparison will result in having to discuss which is better, at least for the person making the comparison
Anyway, i wasn't trying to argue which is better either. I was pointing out that your comparison is flawed since Auria Pro with no plugins purchased doesn't hold a candle to Logic Pro X given how much extra content you'll get with Logic
So i believe it's a bit dishonest to make your plan A and B like you did
Add in all the plugins in the Auria Store and we're getting closer to a fair comparison
Personally, i still don't think Auria can compare to Logic and if i had to choose between a macbook or an iPad i would chooser the former. No question
I find it a bit curious that so many comments have been addressed to may "financial" remarks, and none (if I am not wrong) to my distinction between "innovative" and "not so innovative" musical apps. Actually it is this point that intrigues me mostly.
The first wife makes the cushions for the second wife to sit on....
Lol, good point. But if you go on reading my other comments, you may see that also the couch of the second wife is not fully comfortable...
Besides, I'd like to stress this problem, peculiar to the 12" Pro and that I myself experienced. As said in the article, it can be overcome with a few bucks (again!), but it is annoying nonetheless
It never is. Ever. But sometimes the talking has to stop and the fucking has to begin.
And when it's all over........... The F@$king Talking starts all over again........
I have Logic and I have Auria pro on Ipad Pro 13 inch. As far as the money is concerned you get more bang for your buck in Auria PRo than in Logic . But you cant really compare these two because its two different platforms. Logic pro isnt breaking any grounds or doing anything we haven't seen before. Auria Pro is ground breaking first of its kind and i use it more than Logic not because its super better but because I am more creative I have more fun and I blow people mind that I have a full studio in my hands. Most of the shit Logic does for me as a music producer Auria does as well but fun and to me thats what music is about. Damn the conventional mouse and keyboard that got old in the 90s. I want to touch and feel my music use my hands in different ways. I have dumped my entire sound library into my ipad pro, 1 terabyte on dropbox, 128g flash usb drives and I have everything I need.
...
Lol. I have a full harem then
If nobody objects, I'd like to bring the topic back to the Fabfilter sale, for a moment.
I'm thinking about buying either Pro-L or Pro-MB. Which one do people think would be the best choice, and why? I'm leaning towards Pro-L
FYI, I have Pro-Q 2, Pro-C 2, Saturn, Timeless2, and Volcano 2, all of which I love. I am interested in Pro-DS too. I have Espresso, which doesn't De-Ess to my satisfaction.
