Logic revenue is like a rounding error for Apple!
I’m always all iPad so it can definitely be done but I do know the feeling of having a lot of apps you’ve barley used 😂 I have way too many lol
Agreed! I’m glad it’s not more widespread than it is though I’ll admit it has me reading less threads about Logic to try and avoid it completely. But then it comes up on other threads too 😂
to be honest, i never thought logic would end up on ipad. I assumed they'd always logic remote to sell you an ipad in addition to a mac. Basically what you did, but in reverse.
I’ve experIenced both these issues.
I’m getting better at catching myself, but I still watch my finger land on that arrow at times and it’s like being ejected from reality for a moment and then a few expletives and back in I go.
I currently have one project which has something like 24 tracks of audio and for some reason that one gives me issues leaving it and then getting back in. It was OK for a while and then I think I added something like a Nembrini plugin and after that the project started displaying this issue. Once I get it back to the project screen I have to open another project that I know is good, close that and then I can open the sketchy one. What’s interesting is that I created an export file from that project and created a new project, imported the file into the new project and the new project has become problematic as well. So far, it’s only happened with that project.
This is on an iPad Pro M2 11” with an up to date iOS 16 installed.
Biggest missing feature for me is revisions. Loopy Pro does this best.
Are people just taking backup copies of their files every now and then or am I missing something?
I just duplicate the project in lieu of doing a Save As.
Feels so windows 95 when you’ve got elegant revision systems like loopy pro has.
Anyone that uses AUM and has Cubasis but doesn’t use it (or any other DAW) is unlikely to be swayed by LPiP, I’ve seen this fairly consistently. I don’t even have AUM but it certainly has flexibility that no DAW I know of has - I just discovered I can’t use auto sampling in AudioLayer due to this.
Coming from a DAW user angle I first bought Cubasis 2, dabbled with ZenBeats, next Cubasis 3 when I bought a new iPad and now starting with LPiP. The limited time so far with LPiP suggests it’s more comfortable as I didn’t notice the piano roll being awkward which was a thing with Cubasis 3 - I should try them one after the other.
Maybe it’s because my use cases for a DAW are more narrow but I find it hard to really say C3, Zenbeats or Logic are any better or worse than the other. I like all 3 quite a bit and would be fine being stuck with any of them.
You know, you might be onto something there. But here’s a fun tidbit from my humble corner: King of FM (an app of ours) happened to dance alongside Logic in the top 10 free music apps when Logic was released. We ended up at #2, with Logic nudging us out. So, maybe I've got a bit of a unique insight on their download numbers... And well, let's just say, Logic’s download rate may surprise a few folks. 😳
Oh, and some industry chatter suggests a couple subscription-based companies in the top 20 free music apps are barely making ends meet, not even touching the top 200 grossing. Maybe Sensor Tower's playing detective based on those subscription sales with similar downloads & pricing to Logic?
You make a good point! For context, our apps, priced at a modest $2.99 and $3.99, have surprisingly found their way into the Top 200 grossing...
So, the big question - "So what if Logic Pro for iPad is not top-grossing?"
Perhaps it's bringing in enough to cover one or two employees with benefits. And my thoughts are maybe, just maybe, Apple would've seen a bigger splash by making Logic a freebie? But hey, what do I know? 🤷♂️ It's easy for me to play armchair quarterback. Just tossing some thoughts out there
This! 😡
I do this all the ffffff### time!. It’s so annoying. It’s a terrible UI decision to put THAT, THERE.
Really frustrating.
My gut tells me that both Final Cut Pro for iPad and Logic Pro for iPad are more or less treated as 'Marketing Tools' to advertise the capabilities of the iPad as a platform and as such their real value value is secondary. The primary goal for Apple is still to sell new hardware and promote the various services that are tied to the platform.
I would also not be surprised if the 'Pro Music Apps' team over at Apple is less than 20 persons, could be even less...
All this.
Who said service is more important to Apple than anything else?! 🤔
Apple Service annual revenue for 2022 is 78 $bn.
Apple iPad annual revenue for 2022 is 29.2 $bn
Yes, you nailed it! I guess the point I'm trying to make is with the pocket change it's raking in, maybe they should have made it free & possibly amplified the iPad music-production / iPad sales more significantly? 🤷♂️ On the flipside, shareholders love subscription models.
Ah, in Cupertino? Maybe zero. 😂
By 'Pro Music Apps', could it be you're hinting at our UK pals, Emagic? (When I deal with the Logic for iPad & iOS GarageBand team, they're still flaunting the Emagic badge in their email signatures like it's '90s fashion)
However, in Apple proper, I have dealt with some Logic content acquisition folks in Silicon Valley. (Not sure how many of those are just contractors)
Weren’t/aren’t Emagic German?
Yeah, german product with german developers…
For sure. I mean considering the many capable DAWs that work on much older iPads, that suggests they wanted to artificially limit it so they would move new units to people that wanted Logic for iPad. Also more people getting new iPads and using logic which requires more storage probably means more people subscribing to iCloud, etc.
I’m curious is apple will eventually make a Bluetooth/usb midi controller just for the iPad for even extra revenue and extra pushes for people to get Logic.
Indeed, they were. But, everyone I deal with now from Emagic/Apple is based in the UK (GarageBand and Logic iPad side). While I'm pretty sure Logic for iPad was made in the UK, I could check with them to see if they're still doing some dev in Germany (could just be that I'm not important enough to get access to the german team 😂)
Ah cool. I did not know that.
Well if it was made in the UK then that explains the delays and some of the lack of attention to detail!
Matthew, I’m pretty sure that people you’ve had contact with in UK is former developers at Camel Audio (Alchemy Synth) - in London east part…
My gut also tells me that Steenberg has got an answer forLogic Pro for I iPad I.e. Cubasis “Pro “ with full Sampler track, mixing time signatures, full chord track , Halicon sound bundle..It might be two or three hundred dollars though
That would be awesome. The best thing that could happen after Logic Pro’s release is for other major DAW devs to compete on the iPad.
In case i am allowed to choose, then please be next player Propellerheads a.k.a. Reason Studios :-)
I would definitely be in line for that one. Logic is great but I would prefer Cubasis Pro for sure.
Reason would be brilliant on the iPad. It was always the best fit UI/UX wise of any of the main DAWs on the iPad in my very humble opinion.
I’ve recently upgraded Reason to apple silicon native version and reason in the rack is great.
this.
My safe harbor is Bitwig if Apple ever loses its Logic! 😅
While he's technically one of the most impressive demo drummers I've ever seen (flashy moves, wild technique), playing like this in every song would be massively annoying. He's a product of the TikTok generation.
