Logic Pro on iPad
Stop using iPad for Logic Pro if you don’t use Mac fo Logic Pro then don’t use it as an app just hurts your flow and put cash and data in apples hands ..no need to engineer on the go .,makes your beats then sit at the Mac ..if you don’t have Mac don’t hurt your iPad lol .. GarageBand all I use with audio bus AUM and audio share ..what else I..ever noticed the sounds really all the same with gb in logic
Comments
Ummm...no.
Ok guess I didn’t explore into mor3 I’d love to hear something different ..I haven’t yet gb logic every track I hea4 just got same sound
Prove me wrong
Are you having a stroke ? Your post reads like [do NOT use mental illness diagnoses as a derogatory description again] rambling. Maybe drink some tea and take a nap.
I agree.
No, seriously, I do. Apple ruined the promise of Logic Pro for iPad when they made it subscription…
I bought a Mac, paid full price for it. I’m much happier with that version of it. And I paid for it 3 years ago.
I do recognize that the app needs constant revenue to sustain it. But, sadly, I’m not a fan of the subscription model for a DAW like Logic.
I’d have been much happier with a Gadget 2 model where I pay for additional sounds, effects, instruments, and loops to support the app. And to have the app at a one time price, or use the subscription model to allow users to buy-to-own the app over 12-18 months.
Logic will certainly sound the same if you use them”producer packs” heavily, because that’s what “producers” mostly sound like (hot take, I know). Use more variety in instrumentation and composition.
Yes, the subscription model blows goats. Fortunately, it’s not yet too much.
I don’t use Logic much myself, I confess, but for other reasons. But it is something I go to for more conventional, linear composition. It basically replaces Cubasis, which I’ve never been comfortable with.
I don’t own Logic on desktop. Never will.
I enjoyed using Logic Pro, but cancelled my subscription when I noticed I hadn’t used it for a few months.
It’s just an uncomfortable feeling, knowing Apple is still taking my cash for something I’m not actually using.
I gave it a go, but subscriptions are really not for me. In the meantime I’m spending more time using AUM and Drambo, and the Note updates have been a revelation.
^^^ This.
I would buy it outright for $100 or whatever they price it at, but I’m not going to pay for it ad infinitum.
I get paying a subscription for ever-changing content like Netflix, etc, or paying for something with continuous overheads for the supplier (like utilities), but that’s where I draw the line.
I don’t mind paying the $5 per month sub for it..Let’s see what the next update brings, although Michael’s Loopy Pro financial model makes the most sense for sure
The biggest problem for me is only one update per year with nothing new except for useless AI and loops. The workflow remains incomplete and tedious unless you constantly go back and forth between iPad and Mac, which leads to even more issues. I’m not really happy with it right now.
Which iOS DAW do you prefer , then?
Cubasis, GarageBand, and Koala are on my top tier list.
Beatmaker 3, Drambo, AUM, Logic Pro for iPad, Zenbeats, and Audiobus 3 are on my tier 2. I have my reasons…
Nanostudio 2 and Gadget 2, Reason Compact, and Ampify apps are on Tier 3. I can use them, sure, but I’d rather use them as part of a puzzle.
Can’t think of any more on my favorite lists. Feel free to mention those I forgot.
I use Zenbeats and Loopy Pro, and sometimes Logic too. Logic has excellent instruments and effects, but you constantly have to deal with bugs on desktop or limitations on iOS, making it frustrating to switch between platforms. Loopy Pro and Zenbeats have great potential and a brighter future than Logic. Loopy adds new features every month, transforming the landscape every year. No Suno or AKAI wannabe AI here—just real innovation.
Can zenbeats be used as an auv3 host?
It can, yes 👍
That’s why it’s a monthly subscription. Stop paying when you don’t use it, scrape together $5 when you need it again. I don’t like subscriptions, but $5 won’t even get you a decent coffee anymore.
You may have your subjective opinion on Logic Pro for iPad, but, I don’t like when people writes false facts…
Logic for iPad have been out for 17 months, and, it has been four (4) updates in 17 months - so, your ”only one update per year” is pure wrong.
Why do you have problem with the workflow?
You/we don’t ”need” Logic for Mac, iPad standalone is more than enough.
Also, ”useless AI and Loops” as only updates? No!
Mastering Assistant is super great!
We are a lot of users that love the new Session Players, and love the new Chord Track functionality.
I use the Stem splitting regularly - great stuff.
There’s more…
In just a few weeks we certainly have an new update to Logic for iPad.
I hope we can have yet another Session Players, guitar?
Also, hope we soon can have an UI updates on some of the plugins and instruments.
^^^ Session player Guitars would be fantastic. I’m still impressed how good the Session bass players are.
@NeuM : That’s why it’s a monthly subscription. Stop paying when you don’t use it, scrape together $5 when you need it again. I don’t like subscriptions, but $5 won’t even get you a decent coffee anymore.
Facts
Here here! Logic players are great for people like myself who have some ideas but lack some playing skills. I can choose some keys for the track to go by. Choose an appropriate player. Fiddle with it till I get close to the feel I want. Change it to midi and tinker further. Change the sound source if I want. Add instruments I can play with my basic skills. Add other material from other iPad apps. Change tempo along the timeline and freeze up tracks while I add many little flourishes. Then add automation, mix, help with mastering and then relax!
I'm slow at creating, but the help that Logic gives, helps me actually finish tracks, which I've rarely done in the past!
Yes, I dislike renting Logic, but at £50 a year, I can't really complain as my one only renting app.If other apps follow suit, I won't have them. Loopy Pro's buy a year but keep is a better idea.
Both can be right at the same time. I’d personally buy it full price and know that I have access to it, than having to buy now, opt out, and only buy when a new update comes up.
It’s less about the cup of coffee, and more about supporting the application in a way that makes sense to the user.
If I could get a subscription where the company would need to get my permission to take money from my account every month that would be better. As things are, they rely on people not remembering to cancel for things they’re not using as it makes them more profits.
That’s not speculation on my part either - I have two friends in sales management who I had lengthy conversations with on how selling subscription models over traditional models has become so huge. If you research information on subscription models you’ll find literature on how much of a benefit it is to the seller with little or negative impacts to the buyer. This is one of the main reasons I dislike subscriptions so much.
That’s not the way I work. Software is either available as and when I get the urge to use it, or it isn’t. I haven’t had the urge to use Logic for three months, which is £15 of my money which I could have spent on another app.
I might spend a few days with Drambo, then not have spare time for music for a week but when I have, I might feel inspired to drag out Note, or Gadget, or AUM for a play instead. Or tinkle around with iMS20 that I haven’t played for years, but has been on my iPads for over a decade.
I like a one-off payment. I’m not interested in renting something I’m not actually using. But that’s just me.
I’ve deleted Logic from my iPad to free up some space. I might use it again, but it’s unlikely.
This is actually a good point that people (including me) often don't consider about Logic Pro's subscription model. If you only use it sporadically, you can always purchase a month of usage only when you plan to use it. You don't have to have it sucking $5 out of your bank account perpetually.
You don't lose access to your projects when the subscription isn't active. You can still play and export them. You just can't modify them. Or at least that's how I understand it.
I'm not the slightest bit interested in Logic Pro on iPad, but if I was, the one-month at a time thing would suit me well. I go months and months between opening any full-fledged DAW on iPad, so it would be perfectly economical for me.
I most certainly wouldn't want to have to micromanage more than I can handle on a monthly basis. Then again, this is why I keep a notepad file of monthly expenses, lol. That way I'm not caught unawares. Plus, the one-off purchases and monthly subs can be written off on taxes given music is my profession.
Let’s not forget what a big thing Logic Pro for iPad was when first released. And I STILL think so. It’s only gonna get better
The answer is a firm "no" on my part. There is absolutely no way I'm going to have an ever increasing pile of subscriptions to deal with. And no way I want to revisit purchase decisions every month.
But for something more substantial like a DAW, if it's your main one and you're using it all the time, it could make sense.
And even for me, if I looked at it like renting a movie - pay a small amount one time when you feel like it, I would be fine with that. I just have no need for Logic Pro on iPad. If I did though, I'd do it that way.
If one must closely watch their expenditures, then it's exactly what anyone would do. I have to review all of my expenses on a monthly basis (sometimes more often than that) to make sure I'm not breaking my budget.
Sporadical users are unlikely to plan to use a piece of software for say, next month, re-subscribe, do a full month’s work in it, then unsubscribe again at the end.
I honestly don’t know anyone who works like that.
If you’re an occasional user you’ll dip in for a day or two, now and then. If you are going to get a full month’s use, then you’d probably keep the sub going.
I gave it a good go, and I honestly really like it. I spent a month learning how to use it, a few months making actual music, but then just didn’t get around to using it and realised I was leaking cash for no reason. There are just too many alternatives available that don’t take my money when they’re not being used, and don’t require micro-managing a subscription.
