no midi learn? what the heckolino
please drambo give me audio tracks and a time line..
Seems Logic Remote is not implemented.. It could help..
How do you get the files app in the browser? Trying to import some midi files from Dropbox, One drive..
I believe you still have to drag from iPad file browser into the project for external stuff.
If you combine both then you basically have that. Though Drambo still does have it’s advantages standalone.
Ok.. Thanks..
Yeah, I'm thinking arranging Drambo tracks in Logic might be the way to go. Maybe paying for it will make me complete more songs lol.
i’ll use it for a month….🤣
seriously:
Does it support multi-cores?
Aggregate audio?
Can you open a plugin window on an external monitor?
By the way, at this very moment, Pete Johns (Studio Live Today) is doing a livestream for LP on iPad:
GarageBand Guide has this:
Things I was looking for I got. Able to stem out a project for upload is huge. Taking the drummer into midi regions is huge. Mixing is very easy.
Going to take some time getting used to how and where things are. Editing some of the instruments is sending me to logic on Mac which is sad. Hoping to edit my Hollywood strings and make different patches and so on.
Still hate that it’s subscription. I wouldn’t mind if they offered a package like gadget with a crossover to buy. But 50 dollars a year I’m def gonna get my money’s worth this year.
ah ok, good then
Finally got a chance to spend a couple hours with this one, and overall I think it’s pretty well done. Things can get busy and cluttered fast, but they seem to have a few shortcuts to help clean this up when you want too. Still lots of menu diving and panel jumping to navigate things, but it’s doable and for me at least fairly intuitive to get the basics down.
Install and the basic packs download went smoothly, less than 5 minutes to DL and install. Nice that they have a tutorial project and lessons built in, I think those alone will get most people up and running without needing the manual initially. Cloud sync for saving projects is great!
All in all there’s a lot to like, and I think the omissions from the desktop make sense on the iPad for the most part. The UI is done about as well as possible for how complex this app can be, though I do at times wish we could see more detail for things like delay designer and some of the more graphically controlled (on the desktop) plug ins.
Definitely has a unique workflow, and a lot like BM3, it’s not going to be a work flow that’s for everyone. I think Cubasis is actually a lot more streamlined for the kinds of audio recording and editing I do in a daw, but there’s no denying theres a LOT more options in Logic.
I have a feeling that this will be one of those apps I only sub for a month here and there as needed, not sure I’d want to go all in and do the majority of my work in this app yet. Definitely doable, but like I said it has a very specific workflow and I’m not totally convinced I bond with it yet.
More exploring needed!
Oh yeah, and it does seem to chew through battery pretty quick too, even on my 12.9 M2 iPad. Just messing around with a couple tracks for 45 minutes or so dropped it 30%.
Stock plugin sound good…but seems the designers lost their aesthetic soul/taste… ze Plugins are hard to look at. So for now AUv3 for everything.
Subscription what a pity😂 I will not easy time even downloading it.
Agreed! I get the need to 'touchify' everything, but I think they just went too far into bland territory. Would love to have seen some middle-ground struck between aesthetics and what they landed on (was going to say utility, but I actually think the sameyness of each interface is actually a UX hinderance).
That happened to me too after initial installation but since then I’ve rebooted my iPad and the content packs are all installed and it seems to have calmed down considerably
Ok, good to know!
Almost certainly it is running multicore based on how my M1 ran the demo “Manzana” project. CPU meter was barely moving even with many many tracks of software instruments and effects (all built-in of course).
One wrinkle I just discovered is that it won’t open a Mac Logic project that uses binaural panning.
One thing that’s frustrating me is that it has the same project management behavior as GarageBand, where there’s no option I can discover to close a project without saving, and no “Save As…” option I can find.
They’ve clearly built a rather simplified UI framework and re-skinned all of the plugins using this framework, at the cost of some valuable visual feedback. A bit drastic, but they did have a lot of plugins desperately in need of UI refresh, so it’s understandable. Hopefully they’ll build up the plugin UIs a bit over time to increase usability.
Overall I’m quite pleased with the software, even though I have a long wish list of improvements that I hope to see. I’m getting comfortable with the UI and feel like once I’m just a bit more familiar I’ll be able to work efficiently.
AirpadAir4 after 5 hours dropped from 95/% to 40 % it seems ok power drop depends of so many factors
For sure you need time to adapt to navigate and use the small boxes effect , knobs are a bit small , good glasses are needed sometimes.
But It is really a nice powerful daw. It is not a 1:1 compare to LP desktop, better in some way for touchscreen but I would like at least a complete Alchemy.
Yeah, I really hope that full-on Alchemy and full-on sampler were just things that weren’t ready for the 1.0 release and we’ll see them eventually. And it is a 1.0 release for sure.
I went in with low / no expectations and it's better than expected. Not perfect, not a replacement for a desktop daw which I wasn't expecting at all. But pretty deep and well functional app. The step sequencer and patterns are my favorite.
Biggest gripes is dragging and dropping of samples, wish Files was natively integrated. And automation is lacking.
My biggest concern is not how much Apple will maintain it or add some refinements but how this might effect other great hosts that we have already like AUM, Drambo, and Loopy Pro. These are all unique apps and I wonder how many users will now choose them over Logic. They are all unique and better in most ways but for the average user will they choose to invest in those now that this exists?
It’s because they (especially the 3 you mentioned) are unique that they will likey remain unaffected. More than that, having more iPad musicians in total should bring more users in touch with these other options.
There’s an opportunity for those developers to appeal to a larger audience now for sure. Not saying it will be easy…
I know we all want different things from iPad audio and I’m thinking Logic Pro will make a huge difference for me.
I want a separate environment that is very different to the Mac version. I already have a mobile version of Logic on my MacBook.
I want an app that actually opens up all the cool and unique apps the iPad has more easily and now with Logic I have it.
Just being able to load up a Ruismaker, programme a beat with the step editor, using step automation of parameters ‘parameter lock style’ then glitch it up with beat breaker and then, with a couple of taps, bounce it in place ready to open on my Mac from iCloud Drive almost instantly?
It’s what I’ve wanted for years.
I’d not used my iOS for music for a long time. My M1 MacBook Pro is everything I wanted my iPad to be — maybe now I’ll be encouraged to use the iPad a lot more for all the things it’s great at. And having apps like AUM are part of that.
I still like cobbling together little 8 bar groovebox loops in AUM. Now I have a platform that im at home in on the same device to quickly expand those ideas.
I can then go back to AUM for a B section or just carry on in Live Loops on Logic… so many options now. Very cool.
So far I’m very happy. I’m looking forward to using it to start a song and seeing how it goes. Having the on screen keyboard/drum pads/chord tabs etc. will make it fun to jam ideas into the iPad.
In my mind I will find it easy to start from zero on the iPad due to being able to just jam with it without needing controllers, etc. and it’s different and often that will encourage different ideas — bypassing my usual methods will shake things up maybe?
Once an idea starts to take shape I’m all in on the Mac. I don’t see that changing.
And hopefully Logic will encourage other devs to join the party. As nobody will be ‘all in’ with Logic due to the sub, it’ll be easy to dip in and out with other DAWs too — maybe 🤔
Good thoughts. New tools sometimes require new thinking.

Hope that’s the case..
From my experience with Gadget, GarageBand, etc, extreme battery consumption also depends on which (animated) graphics are shown.
I don’t suppose anyone’s been brave/foolish enough to trial on an air 3?
I’m thinking I should wait until it’s either reported cool as beans on my old thing, or I get a new iPad, whichever comes sooner…
I am not seeing atom 2 or ochatron and other midi units
