    I won’t be doing the annual sub – I think I might dip in and out on a monthly basis as and when I need it through being away from my desktop studio.

    I’m very happy Apple have launched LP for iPad as I am sure iOS music making will become even better as more developers take it seriously.

    For now, I will mock up demos on Cubasis when I am away from my studio, and then do full versions of my songs when I’m back on my PC. The things I will still miss when working on an iPad only, despite the huge advances that Logic has brought include:

    • Hardware - Working with two large monitors vs. one iPad screen
    • Hardware - 16 fader controller built by Presonus that works seamlessly with Presonus’ own DAW (Studio One)
    • Software – principally large Kontakt sound libraries from the likes of Native Instruments, Orange Tree, Soundiron and others

    That all said, my personal difficulty/bugbear with iOS music making (acoustic drums) has more or less been solved by LP – I think the Drummer app is brilliant, especially with the ability to edit on a note by note basis to get the track sounding just right. Also, the quality of many of the included instruments in LP (and elsewhere on iOS) is easily on a par or better than desktop versions costing many times as much.

    One thing - nothing stop us using Logic Pro on iPad as a normal desktop DAW…

    Although I have a descent Macbook Pro 16” and Logic Pro on Mac, I can run Logic Pro for iPad with mouse & keyboard on my 32” curved 5k display, just like any other desktop app…

    The Thunderbolt4/USB-C on the M1/M2 iPads are also really fast and versatile, easy to connect lots of peripherals thru a hub…

    I tried it and it’s fine but I don’t need it and don’t want to rent it so I’m just sticking with cubasis and zenbeats

    @ervin
    I'm planning to rent it again for another month when I read on the forum about the next update (and if the reaction is positive), to see how they are progressing.

    Same for me. I have 3 specific criteria :

    1/ improved UI of stock plugins

    To be able to do actually meaningful sound design with the, not being constantly lost in long list of scrollable randomly placed knobs and buttons

    2/ clip editor view, plugin view, mixer view - they all MUST remember size

    if i set them full screen then i want to have them fullscreen always when i open them .. bottom 3 main icons must work like toggle for active view, not adding another view to one which is active - i mean when i tap one of them, that one opens instantly full screen and other opened ones close instantly.

    3/ ability to turn off animation when switching between views

    Just instantly jump from one to other. That default SwiftUI animation of view accordions is for me just extremely annoying and especially with combination of third party plugins it often causes UI lagging (and sometimes even crashes)

    Until these 3 points will be not fulfilled, zero chance they get my money ;) I am absolutely realistic here, i am not expecting that at least 2/ and 3/ will be ever reality, so i will probably never use Logic in iPad :lol:

    That's all what is for me wrong on Logic. I doesn't care abou "missing features" - none of them are crucial for me, what is there is more than i need. But UI points above are absolute showstopper for me.

    These are absolutely fair criticisms, especially #2 which I find quite irritating 😬

    Having said that I'm obviously subscribing, niggles aside I absolutely love Logic Pro (despite some issues and missing features). I've used it every day and already made a ton of stuff with it, I couldn't be happier.

    The fact that I don't do any music on the desktop and that I need a linear DAW are big factors, so for my needs Logic is pretty awesome.

    The G.A.S. Monster ate my music budget many times over this year and last!

    Even so, LP4i is such a huge improvement over Cubasis for my workflow, its eminently worth $49 per year.

    My experience is just the opposite. For me, Cubasis is the easiest, most UI intuitive DAW I’ve ever used. I spent an hour on LP (with no previous LP experience) and realized it had a steep learning curve. What was most annoying and detracting for me were all the screen icons and no hover tooltips to tell you what they are or give you a clue what they do. Flip to Cubasis 3 and I watched 1 Intro to Cubasis 3 with Dom Sagalas and I was up and running.

    Different strokes for different folks.

    I actually have the feeling that Apple would make more money with an upfront price. Most people seem to be waiting for updates and improvements. Renting logic for a month after an update comes out only to find out that it’s still not kicking 😄 so renting every 6th or 12th month or whatever the update frequency might be.

  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]

    Logic so has mucked up iOS , other software and other hardware drivers due to stupid iOS updates, stupid app updates making them dysfunctional , updates for other apps required now by logic , and unfortunately ruining perfect auv3 , as someone said, making great indie guys that make iOS what is have a hard time while apple does nothing but make improvements for itself and now iOS 17 will change lives for everyone finally thanks to another run of the mill DAW. It offers nothing special and it does nothing CB3 or one of the $20+ DAW.

    So no. I won’t be upgrading my iOS to anything else until my interface and controller are definitely supported or updating to Logic until their software is fully flushed out and working (next year), until the cost for their app is worth the subscription. Logic is a let down from A-Z because it made the rest of what was a great year for 2023 into a year of playing catch up for devs to satisfy apple

    Apple should’ve stayed out of this unless they had a full grasp of what they were doing and what we expected , and they know about this forum, why not check with the community that uses it (and might not)

    I would rather use Ns2 or BM3 or zenbeats or aem (if n track midi issues worked That too) but I think someone said it, at this point I don’t see why I would abandon Cubasis to rent something that does everything the same or slightly better

    Just hope the new iOS is better than 16.5, that’s all I’m hope for

    How can you say that Logic Pro ain’t doing things that other DAWs already doing on iPad?

    If it was like that, we learned Logic on a coffee break!

    I suspect that there's already more Logic Pro for iPad installations in active use than there are members on this forum...

    I am loving it so far. It’s a pretty packed piece of software and gives me a lot of flexibility to write music how i like to. I find myself being super productive with writing, and this is always a signal that an app will be with me for the long haul.

    I’ve subscribed for the year.

  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]

    Ok I’m overstating some things . Point is there was a lot of working things going on that feel 16.5 made a mess of .

    Sorry LPx , didn’t mean to make you the scapegoat (FCP is equally to blame HAR HAR HAR , jk)

    Really , @Samu you’re probably right about the statistic. I did mean just this little bubble

  • DovJDovJ

    Logic is doing way more than any other DAW on IOS. I don’t know of any other IOS DAW that includes busses, takes, an I/O plug-in to support hardware outboard, delay compensation, timeline markers, etc., and which offers an extensive array of fantastic instruments and plug-ins, albeit with some UI issues.

    There’s no need to compare Logic to NS2 or AUM. They’re just different strokes for different folks. As a former Cubasis user, it’s very hard for me not make that comparison. Yes Cubasis is an easier DAW to learn, but it’s missing so many of the above features. Again, different strokes for different folks.

    Yes, Apple did a “number” on IOS developers with updates that support Logic. This is Apple’s way (evidence my fabulous Access Virus TI2 synthesizer, for which the TI, as in “Total Integration” plug-in stopped working because of updates to Mac OS). Still, who wouldn’t want new IOS features like the ability to choose manually from multiple audio interfaces? No doubt there are many other new ones on the way, some of which will trip up Auv3 and app developers, but may offer us usability, security a or reliability enhancements some of us will enjoy.

    There’s no need for any of us to apologize on Apple’s behalf for causing devs problems. They don’t need our help. We can wish they supported features like IAA forever, but they don’t and won’t.

    If you’re a bank, doing a supplier risk-assessment on Apple, they won’t answer any questions or fix any security flaws you uncover. They simply answer: “We’re Apple.” And they are Apple and have a market position no other company has.

    So you don’t even downloaded it, although you have a clear opinion about it?

    It seems like you’re not alone - too many criticize Logic, outside the fence, they have just looked at some videos, passively…

    But, Apple doesn’t care, they will go on, improve, expand, refine the product, and, if 500 use LP4i, or 5 million, they don’t care…

    The app is great, but my money at this moment not as much.🫣
    Just canceled subscription. 😓
    IMHO Logic for iPad is very nice, and I had great time with it! 👌👍
    When I will be able, possibly I will subscribe yearly. 🔥

    I'm in. Only now is it starting to click with me after a slow start, busy home life and a Cubasis project I wanted to finish.
    The UI is a bit of a mess TBH, especially compared to super-clean Cubasis 3 but with some excellent YouTube tutorials I'm learning how powerful this is. Editing notes and song arrange are lovely. Its a keeper <3

    Edit: although if Cubasis came back with a good overhaul, even via IAPs, this could all change. And it has been a long time since Cubasis was updated...

    Although I really like Nanstudio 2, but, it ain’t a DAW…
    So, Logic is the only “DAW” with busses on both MIDI & Audiotracks…

    It that true?

    What about NTrack, AEM, Zenbeat?

    Well, for me is important i can do with grouping things in NS which i can’t do in any other daw.

    Failing to understand how it is related to audio tracks or to that funny debate about what is daw and what isn’t.. but understand, based on general opinion on audiobus forum audio track is absolutely crucial feature without which nobody should be able to do any music at all 😂😂

    I doesn’t remember, but do Nanostudio 2 have stacks, group channels, and, summon stack?

    Of course, NS2 can do incredible music, really great, but, without real audiotracks, NS2 will not be number one in the most cases..

    Auria Pro also has busses from audio and MIDI tracks, and more flexible MIDI routing. It doesn’t have Stacks though, but it does have 8 Groups.

    Logic is a better DAW overall though IMO.

    Basically yes, they just are not as “independent”
    entities cause all 3 of these are just specific cases of group track .. which you have, and you can have multiple levels of groups (in theory unlimited level, in really UI starts break after i think 10th level of grouping lol)..

    where other daws introduce complexity of different types of tracks, NS brings simplicity of just one track which routes bith midi and audio and can be routed in both directions (basically highly inspired by Reaper)

    Some irony can we tolerate on this forum…

    sorry that i am already bored and annoyed by ultimate “audio tracks argument” after all those years, which pops every time even when there is discussed totally unrelated thing

    Probably not right now, it’s a great app but I feel like I can get things done faster in other apps and with Logic on my MacBook…I just didn’t find myself using Logic Pro on my IPad as much as I thought I would have. And Im just not traveling a lot right now otherwise I’d probably use it then. At some point I still might subscribe but I really don’t need it atm….I still think it’s worth it though if I were using it daily but I’m not at all
