    Pretty impressive update from Apple on Logic Pro for iPad!

    Still things to fix and improve, but, everything fixed under the hood is giant…

    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213554

    Yepp, I'd love to see a list of all the 'enhancement' that are not on that list...

    Like the little + in the mixer to add sub-tracks when using multi-out AUv3's.
    And there's even a proper back arrow in the top left corner :)

    Huge effort in making it blue! 😀
    The guy/gal who got to do that is a star. In 20 minutes got to address the most annoying and frustrating request.

    The iceGear effects (Yukawa, Koshiba, Kojita) launch but don’t pass audio since the update. I miss them already! Would someone please confirm?

    All three of them work perfectly fine. iOS 17.1, iPad Pro M2.

    As someone who doesn't yet have an iPad powerful enough to run this (I'm still on a 2017 iPad Pro 10.5 inch... ah, when I bought it, it was so bleeding edge!), I'm looking forward to trying out Sample Alchemy at last on my MacBook Pro.

    Come on, Apple! Release a new Air with a camera in the landscape position, pretty please!

    New iPads will be coming next year (they'll probably be using the new 3 nm chips, so they'll be extremely powerful).

    Thank you, @Luxthor. After seeing your response, I deleted the three apps, restarted the iPad (Pro M1), and reinstalled the apps and now everything’s working fine. Not sure what the problem was but I’m grateful for the assistance.

  • The built in recorder for quick sampler is a really nice touch. Perfect for field recordings.

  • So maybe it will be biannual updates…so expecting Flex Pitch May ‘24

  • This’ll get me to subscribe for atleast a month. If nothing else to master the records and loops I’ve made in Zenbeats, BM3 and on SP-404, MV-1, MPC and other hardware which will all remain mainstays with or without Logic.

    I’ve been a heavy Logic Pro user for 2 decades so there’s no rush or need to commit more than a month at a time to Logic for iPad. My new Macbook Pro is just as portable as my iPad just a different experience. More power, less expressive.

    For this reason I don’t mind the sub. It’s perfect even. I’ll likely use Logic for iPad $10-15 a year. (2-3 months). Definitely wouldn’t buy it for $200 when I already have the fuller version on desktop. Just wouldn’t make sense for me. Subbing for a year without any clear need for it also doesn’t make sense for me. I don’t even think about creating music for many parts of the year where I unplug and travel with the Lady so the extra $10 saved for the year sub is moot for me.

    You’re welcome! If IceGear apps stop working, it would be a sad day for a lot of us.

  • I haven’t dived into the iPad version yet but 10.8 on the Mac is fantastic. 10.7.9 was awful. The buggiest version of logic I can remember.

    10.8 has fixed all those little 10.7.9 paper cuts as far as I can tell. And au hosting is way more reliable already. A project I was playing with kept falling over with 10.7.9. I’ve been working on it for a couple of hours and everything is just so much better.

    And the new mastering is amazing. I usually master with a chain of Tokyo Dawn plugins with Limiter 6 as my final make lounger stage. But the new logic mastering plugin will save me hours.

    I’m not a mastering engineer by any means and don’t really enjoy the whole process. This new mastering plugin might just be perfect for me.

    I’m sure a competent engineer with great monitoring and a treated room will get ‘better’ results but I have cloth ears and reasonable, not great, headphones, and very little mastering talent. :-)

    So yeah very happy.

    And one more little thing. I bought Logic 10 in January 2014. Every update since then, many of which are huge, has been free. I’ve certainly got my moneys worth on the Mac.

    When is the update released, I am in UK and the update option isn’t there yet.

    I’ve just realised I need to update to iPadOS 17 before I can update

    Is it now safe to upgrade to iPadOS 17 (using an iPad Air 4)?

    To reply to myself (and anyone else on the fence), I took the plunge and haven’t noticed any ill effects (so far). Really appreciate the option to finally be able to use the iPad speakers when my iRig HD2 is plugged in.

  • Seriously, the blue arrow is even more dangerous in some situations 😂 make it neon yellow/red whatever 😜 I really like the mastering assistant. It helped me fixing a 10 years old track that i never got right. Itˋs still far from perfect but at least itˋs somewhat ok sounding now

  • Mastering assistant is worth the sub alone …and even looks like they got some taste back in the design. Maybe they’ll do a vocal assistant / bender type tool

    I’m going to go out on a limb and guess they might add more “intelligent” accompaniment, so if you’re stuck for ideas on a bass line or you need a more interesting rhythm guitar or have run out of ideas on where to take your beats, leave it to your “A.I.” assistant and see what it comes up with instead. :)

  • Just did an a/b comparison between a track rendered with Klevgrand Grand Finale and rendered with Mastering Assistant. Even with the “punch” character setting selected, Mastering Assistant is just super-duper clean. GF can muddy things up a bit (admittedly this is probably also down to things like preset selection as well).

    I could still see using Grand Finale in some situations, but Mastering Assistant is just so easy and sounds so nice. A great addition to Logic!

    I think my big overall takeaway from Logic 1.1 is that Apple has not just a lot of people working on their “pro apps”, but a lot of really good people. I understand that a significant update to Final Cut also shipped. I don’t use or follow video editing software, but it seems to indicate that it’s the same larger team working on both the products. Anyway, I find all that encouraging, because there’s still a bit of work to be done before the iPad app is really worthy of the “Pro” moniker.

    I just hope there won't be yet another price bump! The Pros are way too expensive for my liking now, so the Air seems like the only semi-reasonable alternative. It seems longer ago than only 2017 that I paid £675 for the most powerful iPad around.

  • Has anyone worked out how to set the true peak in Mastering Assistant?

    Apple tries to keep the low-end offerings at the same prices and they have a bit more price flexibility on the high-end offerings. And using M3 chips in MacBooks and iMacs helps drive down the cost for iPad chips later.

    I don't think you can - Mastering Assistant will set True Peak to -1 as requested by streaming services, I guess the idea is that it does it all for you.

    Here's the user guide:

    https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/logicpro-ipad/lpip7e08f598/1.1/ipados/17.0

    FWIW that is exactly how I would set it as well.

    I've tested Mastering Assistant on five of my tracks so far and IMO it is really good. The eq curve is bang on and fixes the slight muddiness my tracks tend to have in the lower mids every time. Dynamics and stereo image are left alone (it never seems to make any adjustments there for my music), but EQ is one of my weak spots and this plugin is a really effective and easy fix for that. :)

    Of course, I can't for the pale life of me find the Magic Wand :)

    ALTHOUGH I am also not certain that I have got the latest version....anyone got an idea where I can check the number of the one I have?

  • Thanks @richardyot - I was under the (I guess mistaken) impression that the streaming services wanted it at -0.1

  • Ah. 17.

    That's what happens when you walk away from the machine for a few weeks. Ignorance. Apologies bretheren.

    You need to be on iPad OS 17 to download the latest version of Logic.

    Here's how to find the Magic Wand:

    No, Spotify requests -1, and I'm assuming Apple do as well since it's likely they have tailored to Mastering Assistant to their own streaming service :)

  • Best new function under version 1.1 in Logic must be the possibility to use Drummer with external instrument/drums (AUv3)…
