    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.

    Can you give any examples of these AI developments?

    Such as: (A) Recommendations for improving a mix with an intelligent assistant (for example: "Your mix is too bass heavy" or "Would you like me to help you remove that background hiss?" or "Would you like this mix this for TV, Radio, YouTube, Specific Download Service"?)... (B) Synthesizers based on models versus knobs. In other words, mixing, matching and blending sounds to achieve a desired sound, versus twiddling knobs to achieve the same result. Achieving a good mix is all about carving out space in the frequency range to make your music clean and listenable… why not work with frequencies in synths in the same way?

    Those are just a few crude ideas off the top of my head.

    And… Logic Remote…………With LogicPro-iOS?

    This will get interesting..

    Sorry what do you mean? You know that Remote has been around for a while now right?

    an ipad with logic remote controlling an ipad running logic (instead of a desktop)

    Aha! Yes could be interesting for those with a spare old iPad and help with real estate issues.

    I have been wanting apps to support this sort of thing for years, hope it happens.

    Jade does a deep dive on the few bits and pieces we know about LogicPro for iOS:

  • A deep dive on what, the only press release they’ve put out?

  • @Tarekith said:

    Yeah - Jade goes through some of the features that you can see in the screen shots and video clips Apple has released. Also speculates on how much of the desktop app will be in the iOS app. I found it interesting - you might not.

  • Anyone know if Logic for iOS will support Inter App Audio apps?

  • I would hiiiiiiiiiiiighly doubt that. Super high. Like you can’t see it in the sky anymore high.

  • @drez said:

    I doubt it too. I was just wondering if anyone has seen it mentioned in any offical Apple specs.

  • The announcement may seem like bad news for some iOS DAW developers. But on the other hand, Apple too has to face the same problems others have been facing for a long time and more - how to gain most benefit from the (multi)touch interface; how to lure pros who are used to kbd shortcut and precise editing; how to deal with file systems — and this could easily be thousands of small samples; how to transfer a project from iPad to desktop gracefully, etc. Also, despite subscription plan not looking too terrible, there'll be many who prefer to stick with the pay once system or the LoopyPro system much more. Plus, smaller developers are probably more flexible, prone to respond to users quicker and better. I think there are hopes that smaller, indie dev can still be thriving. 👍

    i subscribe to chess apps
    and i suck at chess, so…

    i haven’t read the thread (impatience, probably why i suck at chess)
    does the ipad version have Live Loops feature (the clip laincher)
    seems a no brainer on ipad

    Yes Live Loops is included according to Apple’s product page

    thanks @richardyot

    I havent kept up with the thread, and you may have already answered, but I was curious whats your thinking on this upcoming release?

    I'm excited about the possibilities. To be fair I don't feel like I'm missing anything at the moment - I can do all I need with the combination of Auria Pro and NS2, but it will be good to have everything in one app and also not to have to worry about your key apps being abandoned.

    I ask you specifically because you've been my/our point man on AP. Ive had my dance with it, really enjoyed a lovely huge EXS. piano on there, and of course Twin 2 and the IAPs (went all-in on those)

    ...but. A bit crashy as noted by friends (hey, @JohnnyGoodyear ) and apparently its sidelined. And the IAPs and the Twin 2 are superseded in many ways.

    The idea of an abandon-proofed hub is attractive. And LP's "Sampler" handles EXS.
    Yep, possibilities, as you said

    :)

    This will get interesting..

    Logic Remote is great , I use it pair to Logic in my Destop for the touch feel and add a second screen using my old IpadAir2. Very efficient and you get a free controler touchscreen. This a good way to use old IPad with Logic.

  • As this thread started with FCP too, here's a first impressions video from someone who played with it for a few minutes in a demo space or something.

    In the comments, FCP folks arent happy about subscription either, and it sounds like it is missing critical features like external hard drive support. I'm not an expert but big wow if true, you can't be serious about a video editing suite without external drive support!

    Well said, smart thinking cares about the entire ecosystem and all sides involved.

    Which, on a macro level, is how we begin to save our planet and its inhabitants (both human and non-human animal, alike) ;)

    I think it’s the opposite actually... you used to had to make a call... what do I need, how much will it cost me... go ahead if you can afford, continue searching if not...
    Now it’s normalised that we can have it all for a seemingly cheap price, we subscribe to promises... we literally encourage marketing over engineering... waste, waste, waste...

    Perhaps I should’ve been clearer. In response to Gavinski's point about prioritising the entire ecosystem over the individual, I suggested we should be prioritising global interests over those of the individual. But yeah…probably not the right thread ;)

    She has a long history using Final Cut Pro, so she knows what she's talking about. The lack of external drive support is puzzling, but I suppose that's something that will be coming eventually. The new iPad Pros are certainly capable of handling massive amounts of data and it'll just be a matter of time until external devices are supported.

    HOWEVER, now I'm wondering if the same one-way street (FCP files on iPad being moved to desktop) will also apply to Logic Pro files? I mean, right now when you move a GarageBand file to desktop to final the project, it must be converted regardless of whether you're using GarageBand or Logic Pro on macOS. I suspect this will remain a limitation, but if you're only finishing projects on the iPad Pro you won't care about that anyway.

  • One would assume it will play nice with stage manager/multi monitor setup on the M1 etc pads? This gets it closer to being a desktop replacement option for sure.

    I really hope the movement between platforms is fluid but I somehow doubt it. AuV3 plugins and AU plugins are obviously not going to transfer (maybe except for those few that work across both).

  • @Cambler said:
    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.

    Using MTS as my reference point as it already supports bi-directional projects - you can move a project between platforms if the plugin developer chose the same plugin ID for the plugin on iOS and Mac. There are some pretty big devs that did not do this. This will get you past the “missing plugin” errors, saving you having to reload each missing plugin. If you get that far then there is the question as to whether the plugin state is restored correctly. That part seems to rely on whether there is a compatibility between the data state of the source and destination plugins. If the data format has changed because one plugin is newer or whatever then the state may not restore correctly on the other side.

    The developer of MTS added a workaround to his DAW to let you choose an alternative plugin to be used if a particular slot was “missing”. This means you can select plugin x on iOS and have the project load with plugin x on the destination, even if the plugin IDs are different. Hopefully Apple will come up with something as good or maybe even better, but really it is a job for the plugin developers to solve (like IKM did with MixBox).

    Moog is an example of a bigger developer that got all of this right. My projects containing their apps work both ways with all state saved without any intervention.

    Great insight. Thanks so much for this info. Let's see eh! Also I feel like a dunce asking but what is MTS?

    No problem! MTS is MultiTrackStudio https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/multitrackstudio-for-ipad/id776998585

  • I’m curious if the internal synths, effects, drums, etc will be as high quality and in depth as the desktop version. That may help with my GAS a little 😂 besides the instabuy devs like Bram, Apesoft, Zolotov, etc.

    Ok, now I’m excited.

  • @echoopera said:
    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’ve been swotting up on a similar thing - recording Live Loops performances.

  • Looking at that Facebook video. I don't know how folks are going to manage on a normal size iPad screen. Looks like it really needs the largest screen possible.

    Yeah, will be a squeeze on my Air 4, and looks like my underused Apple Pencil is going to come in handy!
