    It’s ok to like subscriptions…it’s not weird. It’s ok to hate subscriptions…it’s not weird. Being triggered by someone voicing their opinion on the matter?…A bit weird…

    So true!

    It’s everyone who have never used it who are potentially new customers.

    every corporation is trying to figure out how to get you to pay monthly for everything and never ever own anything it is the corporate version of a modern feudal system

    I don't think citizens had an "opt in/out" choice in the old feudal system.

    You have a choice to subscribe to an app or a cable channel or whatever in the modern world. There is no law forcing you to subscribe.

    In time citizens will have no choice. It starts small and becomes normalized then it is all that there is. That is how the Feudal system works and this is the new modern version

    There are laws in California that say you have to “subscribe” to the power company even if you have your own solar system, you still must pay the power company and feed them the power from your solar or you will not have a residency permit and you cannot live in your house and it will be demolished at your expense. I had a perfectly working septic system, I was forced to pay thousands to hook up to the town sewer system and pay their monthly “subscription” fee for the right to use it. You can legally use composting toilets in California under the “green act” but you still must pay to hook up the sewer and pay monthly to use it even if you do not.

    But just in case you are interested I have a coffee mug you can subscribe to, for just 50 cents a month you can use it . You must pay for a year in advance that will be automatically renewed. Shipping and handling not included

    A sad picture of the future. Might be true but hopefully people will keep rising up and shake up the corporate world. I’m probably more optimistic seeing rather little support for neo liberal parties here in Germany. But that might change. Let’s see..
    Where are you from?

    I am in Southern California, USA.

    Apple was/is a Northern California company but actually world wide, they have factories in China and I have spent a great deal of time there. Under the current situation there you cannot own property. There is one major phone app where you “subscribe” to everything from entertainment to car services and food, of course your phone service as well. Sure it is convenient and easy but you just pay monthly your entire life and it never ends.

    The government is a 50% partner in every business so they are an owner of that phone app and each of those “Subscription” services that you pay monthly and you pay 50% tax to the government to begin with

    Corporations have no conscience and all have the same goal, profit. Imagine seeing every person born on the planet as a monthly source of revenue for their entire life.

    Apple has made/bought some great software they have developed it and it has made huge profits so it costs them nothing.

    People forget that.

    If I make a coffee mug and the very first one cost me 100 to make but I resell it 100 times for 5.00, I made 400. oh but what about research and development, well that was part of that first 100. It cost me NOTHING I made 400!
    Now am going to continue to resell that same mug to hundreds of thousands/millions of people and I’m a billionaire! Wait I developed a travel mug I can sell that every month too. That travel mug cost me… oh wait NOTHING! I will make a profit in the very first month of sales and I will sell it to you again every month

    It is a very slippery slope to go down and every corporation is trying to figure how to do it.

    Everything Apple does is meant to eventually make them a profit, even those things which appear to be unrelated to their business. Anything they decide to do has a cost in terms of R&D, use of manpower and allocation of resources. They are a business, first and foremost, and they are required to be profitable. There is nothing wrong with any of that. Even things that appear to be “free” are NOT free if a human being or the expenditure of energy has been involved in the process.

  • I haven’t seen anything regarding audio editing, transient detection, warping… That for me is a lot more important than any of the instruments or effects. Audio editing and proper bussing was the thing missing on iOS daws, Auria was close but that’s a different conversation.
    I hope we can edit, merge and have all the transient editing/warping stuff. That would be a game changer.

    That’s pretty much the whole reason I’d buy it - without decent audio editing it’s pretty useless to me.

    Yes completely agree. Really looking forward to seeing what’s possible with just editing audio on the timeline.

    They recoup any expenditure, thus it costs them nothing.

    There is an upfront investment for them but that is returned and then profit is made.

    I am aware of how a business/corporation works.

    “There is nothing wrong with that.”

    This is a matter of opinion, I do indeed, find many things wrong with it.

    The greed driven need for profit with no conscience and no accountability. I find it grossly immoral.

    This is part or the corporatism of our governments. I see many corporations practicing racketeering, extortion, and fraud on many different levels.

    The very idea of these monthly/yearly fees to use an app is immoral to me

    If however I can keep that app and the next month I get some some new app or significant upgrade for my money and then keep each new “issue” that is fine. Then if I so choose not to renew my “subscription” and just keep what I already paid for then fine.

    Selling these as “Subscriptions” is fraud but I bet the marketing department felt that tryin to sell a “temporary right to use fee” would not fair as well

    My moral compass is just different than yours and that is ok

  • edited May 2023

    @ralis, a business IS accountable… to their customers. If they fail to act sufficiently in the interests of customers they lose business. There’s nothing more moral than a transaction which is voluntary and mutually beneficial.

  • Does anyone know if it will allow to export individual tracks in MIDI?

    I have a windows PC and ideally would like to use it for sketching ideas on the go and then "continue" on PC

  • No one knows anything besides the official infos on the apple website.

    An interesting area here I think will be how the minimum requirements increase over time.
    I'm fairly shocked that LogicPro for iPad will work on A12 processor based stuff from 2020.
    The fact that I'm shocked is shocking and indicates how up to date Apple require people to be.
    (You'll still need latest iOS release to run Logic for iPad).

    The real danger of this subscription model is that Apple may continually require you to upgrade the iPad it runs on because of termination or support for older iOS versions. Perhaps the next cull will be as early as September with iOS 17. April is another annual date for Apple compatibility with XCode mandates.

    What will Apple do when a user's hardware can no longer run Logic?
    For sure they won't retain backwards compatibility.

    Will Apple terminate a user's ability to run Logic on their old iPad?
    Or will Apple charge a fee for running software on an OS it no longer supports?
    There are legal implications for this kind of thing as generally speaking you can't charge fees for software you no longer support and disclaim all liability for.

    This new version of LP on iOS works on A12 and M-series chips. That’s pretty generous for the alleged power in this software. Again, we’ll see how it actually performs later this month. I’d love to see a comparison of how it performs on both the minimal and ultimate configurations of iPad to see what one gains in terms of the latest chips.

    Yep, i'm sure apple will keep the pressure on updates of both hardware and software.

    Good point. They should clearly state the update policy and version support. Like current iOS and latest 3.
    It adds up, doesn’t it?. 150€ for 3 years but now you also need a new iPad to go with it.

    If this is going to push other companies, I think Bitwig would be a perfect fit. It already has the touch ui support and there’s a Linux version. Should be easier to port than other daws. Right?.

  • For anyone like me that didn’t already know this, you can get a 90 day free trial of Logic Pro on macOS.

    I’ll grab it tomorrow on MacBook to have a poke around. I have no interest in making music on desktop, but can get to know the interface a bit whilst waiting for the 23rd.

  • What will be interesting is how the other iPadOS DAW’s coexist with this.

    This pretty much puts the nail into the coffin of Auria. Wave Machine hasn’t done a meaningful update in a few years and I don’t see them putting effort into it now with this behemoth on the horizon.

    I’ve always considered Beat Maker 3 to be an MPC style environment not really a true DAW…yes, I know some do and that’s fine. Same for Nanostudio and FL.

    Of course the most interesting thing will be how Cubasis 3 handles the competition.

    My take is that the window is rapidly closing for an indie developer to be able to produce a viable DAW on iPadOS. And if Steinberg and Roland want to continue to compete, they will need to step up their investment in the platform.

    Production environments that do things differently (Loopy Pro and AUM come to mind) should still have plenty of space to breathe. But if you want to sell anything like a traditional DAW on iPadOS, the table stakes just got a lot higher.

    That’s how I’m feeling. When the calls for an iPad Logic app have popped up over the years I thought while it could be incredible it’s also making the entire format at the mercy of Cupertino. I’ve banged the drum for iOS music production for years, I truly love the tactile immediacy of the touch interface and with it married to incredible CPU power courtesy of the M1 & M2 we now have serious production power.

    I almost forgot Audio Evolution…I’ve been so impressed with their Meloyne like vocal tuning. I don’t now if the developers can carve out enough market share if Logic is being subbed to by most iOS music producers for just $5.00 a month…

    Yeah I guess devs that created something unique enough will survive while more general DAW devs might have a hard time.
    It’s a harsh reality and I feel for them.

    On the other hand competition is boosting progress. I’m hoping for new great ideas and new entries of bigger brands.

  • Feels like there’s a lot of room for developers who are willing to tightly integrate machine learning/A.I. into new synths, effects and DAWs to improve music/audio production right now. Apple has not aggressively moved in this direction yet.

  • I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet (27 pages in a few days is a lot!) however the main thing I'm currently waiting on is the interoperability between iPad and desktop (and vice versa). How will projects that use auv3 on iPad be dealt with on desktop and again vice versa? I principally use iPad as a sketching device (currently using Cubasis) and bring projects across to Logic desktop to work on more and finish. If that process isn't much smoother than what I have now I wonder how much Logic on iPad will ring to the table. Will be trying it out though that's for sure!

    Oh and I was scared to look at the Australian pricing after seeing the figures touted here were in USD. Not to bad as it turns out! $59 annually or $7.99 monthly. Good saving for the annual.

    Can you give any examples of these AI developments?

  • So I decided to spend a good part of my day off trying to take my Ableton Workflow and bring it into Logic...and after a few hours of getting to grips with the Logic UI and workflow, I am happy to report that I have achieved an Ableton style workflow in Logic. WOO HOO!!!

    I mostly work from 4-12 Bar Loops, Resample and build up patterns via recording to the arranger view...and I was able to achieve a very similar workflow in Logic. This is exciting for me, as I was always intimidated by the amount of UI in Logic...but now that I've found my ZEN, I can just ignore the UI elements which aren't important to me right now.

    I saved out a Template as well, so my Resample workflow is just a single click to RECORD.

    Anyhoo...exciting times are on the horizon. I can't wait to go from composing on the iPad Pro, and finishing it all on macOS when I have to.

  • I wouldn’t write down any existing DAWs/devs.
    Apple is not the kind of company that will listen to their users, that’s the indie dev. Apple will reinvent the wheel every now and then and it’s not always a hit, there were plenty of misses.
    The same challenges remain and Apple will have to face them all - there is no magic solution to optimise UI to different screen sizes each year from mini up; support for AUv3 based on bad or non existent documentation; up until now they gave you a free toy, now they sell you a service... all the things that went wrong in the past few years (sample rate issues, AUv3 issues) may haunt them as well... especially considering the low entry fee for inexperienced but entitled users... talking about users... every complex app comes with learning curve...
    the point is, getting rid of your DAWs, synths, FXs is premature at this point :)
