Ah, cool! Hadn’t realised you were also a desktop Logic user. An even better solution, presuming, it lives up to expectations.
Could definitely do all my music in Logic, if need, and sometimes lament not having stuck closer to that idea. But alas. I think if I were intending to mix and master on the iPad, I’d cut things back even further, but I'm quite invested in Izotope;s suite, currently, which though not a necessity certainly makes life easier.
Anyway, here's to a healthier life 🥂
All the weird stuff: granular samplers, crazy FX, unusual synths, all thrown in and heavily automated to create evolving, totally bonkers soundscape fodder. Kinda like I do already, but with more things.
Good point and there lies the gap for developers. Logic is a very traditional DAW conservative you might say? Although I’m not familiar with it I guess that’s what drew many towards Ableton?
Traditional, in the sense of coming from a tradition of emulating linear tape, perhaps? But within that paradigm, they've always been somewhat ahead of the game (Certainly, in comparison to Protools from that era).
However, I'm not sure it could be seen as conservative now. It might not have the 'cool' of Ableton, Bitwig etc, but the inclusion of live-loops, a powerful step-sequencer, X/Y DJ Remix FX, 'Phat' and 'Space' they really stepped up their diversification game. now they seem to have added both Samplr and a Gross-Beat-a-like effects section, they seem to be widening that gap between modern and traditional even further.

If my first foray in Garageband yesterday was anything to go by, I can easily see myself using Logic as my only beatmaking tool, replacing both Gadget and NS2. In which case, the instrument AUv3s I suspect I'll be using with it will be PSP2, Module Pro, and Beathawk. Of course when it comes to AUv3 effects, I'll be using RX950, MagicDeathEyeStereo, Pitch Drift and lo-fi-af, Barricade, and Youlean's Loudness Meter on the master track like usual.
How do you use RX950 ? I got no clue what it do so I am curious and so little price
I use it at the beginning of a master buss to simulate AD/DA conversation. It gives the sound a subtle lofi flavour and crunch. ❤️
Thanks really interesting 🤨
Just wait til you get your hands on Logic Pro’s Drum Designer and sampler. I think you’re going to be very pleasantly surprised. And of course, many of the third party plug-ins we use in our other DAWs draw heavily from those effects which come built in with Logic Pro…
The whole reason I’m interested in Logic on the iPad is so I don’t have to resort to third party tools tbh.
In years I never use any VST only using Logic itself , you got all you need and far more …. Even too much sometimes… VST are always problems in case of big upgrades particularly for Mac OS many had a lot of Bad experience with M1 silicon Mac VST , only Logic itself was running well. Since now some VST are not working fully.
This will become more and more obvious to people as they gain familiarity with LP’s full range of options. After a month with the desktop version, I’m still just barely scratching the surface and my mixes have drastically improved. I’ve been remixing dozens of my older GarageBand projects and the difference is like night and day.
Yeah, I gave up on Logic on desktop, I just found it too ‘normal’, and I found myself making (shudder) polished, musical pieces with it. Most of what I use Ableton for is arranging chunks of audio created with weird apps on the iPad, but Live does have some interesting tools and fx too. A bit less normal.
I’ve tried all the existing ‘beatboxes’ and DAWs on iOS, apart from Cubasis, and none have clicked, so I’ve just been jamming stuff out via AUM.
In the absence of full-blown iOS Ableton, Logic on iOS will give me the second-best of all worlds - it’ll host all my weird apps and provide the extra control (automation etc.) that’s missing from my AUM jams, and I can export the stems for final spit n polish in Live on the desktop….or I might even whip out Logic X if it’s really clicking on the iPad. To be fair to Logic, it does have a few more tricks up its sleeve (live loops) since I moved away to Ableton, so it may still surprise me yet.
That’s really cool. I would still keep the app for standalone use but I’m glad to see it in there. Very exciting.
I haven’t used Logic for years but it says sample alchemy and beat breaker are new developments specifically for this iPad version which sounds VERY interesting and I’m sure will attract the attention of non current iPad users.
Didn’t realize those were new additions! That’s definitely gonna out some more eyes on iOS then.
