Not that Apple really needs praise here, but they’ve really knocked it out of the park with Logic Pro for iPad - and this is only the first release. It doesn’t have EVERYTHING from the desktop version, but I think for most folks there’s more than enough here. If you’re already a GarageBand on iPad user and you’re starting to hit walls this is where you want to head. I’ve used many iOS/iPadOS and desktop DAWs over many, many years and the feeling I’m getting when using Logic Pro for iPad is the same feeling as when I first started using Reason. It took a good day or two to really wrap my head around the UI (it’s QUITE different from GarageBand on mobile) but once you do it’s like opening this amazing treasure chest of tools. There’s so many ways to string together instruments and effects chains. When I put a drummer track on a Drum Machine Designer instrument channel the first time it kind of blew my mind (maybe this always worked on Logic for Mac? I don’t know, never used it).You really get the best of all worlds here - flexible MidiFX, a time line, great audio editing, full AUv3 instrument and effect automation. It’s got the playfulness of AUM with the familiarity of a DAW with a timeline.And this is just the beginning…

Where is “score”?!!

Downloaded Logic yesterday and discovered that “score” has been removed from the program! Folks, not everyone is a hip-hop, rap, beats maker (All legit genres that don’t necessarily need a score read out and editor), but those of us who arrange, write for video or film or just prefer a standard notation editor rather than just a piano roll editor, may find this seriously lacking. A piano roll doesn’t give you a quick and easy visual, like notes on a staff do. I use the piano roll extensively when I am fine tuning a feel for a track, but it is horrible for just looking for quick harmonic changes over a broad range of notes. Another thing everyone should be aware of is that Logic is very sensitive to memory overload. I had lots of apps open ( because that hasn’t been an issue with anything else) and I loaded in a project that had nine tracks running each with several plugins on them (no audio, just midi)and I got a system overload warning stating “ The plug-ins in the project are overloading your iPad, or your iPad is low on memory.” I closed all my apps and had no more problems, so beware. I have an iPad Pro with 16gb ram and 1 terabyte of storage, so that really shouldn’t have been an issue. Logic is amazing on most everything else and I have enjoyed using it extensively for at least 7 hours since yesterday (lol). Score editor is a major work flow loss for me, so until that is resolved, my rating will be 3 stars at most.

I considered Logic Pro for iPad about a year ago and decided against it. I generally object to subscription apps and at the time I was evaluating Logic Pro iPad, it seemed awkward. BUT, I’ve just downloaded the app and I went ahead and subscribed. For the cost of a latte per month (paid annually), it is BY FAR the best audio app for iPad. I considered buying a MacBook in order to have Logic Pro for remote recording, etc., but that’s another whole price point. I love my iPad Pro and I really want to use it for all of my audio projects. I’ve used Auria Pro for a long time, but it is frustrating. I’ve tried Cubasis and FL Studio on iPad. Nope. I’ve been using Logic Pro on my Mac for years (started before it was an Apple product). For a while I was Reaper on PC, then a little on Mac (and I love it), but I’m most at home in Logic Pro. SO, I’ve decided to go with Logic Pro on my iPad Pro—I’ve deleted all other audio apps (including Auria Pro, GarageBand, Twisted Wave, etc.) on my iPad Pro. No need for any other app since I’ve committed to Logic Pro iPad.

This is a huge letdown for me. I am a Logic Pro user and use it on my MacBook daily. I recently decided to give the iPad Logic version a go and I was extremely disappointed to see how stripped back it is in comparison to other mobile DAW’s like Cubasis 3 from Steinberg. Apple needs to take a page out of Steinberg’s book and open the Logic app up for more serious users. Also was disappointed to see they went to a subscription base instead of a 1 time purchase like Steinberg did with Cubasis 3. Not to continue to point that out lol. Apple really missed the mark here. I get opening the platform up to other users and offering a subscription option. I also get the training wheels for new users, however power users should be limited just to gain new subscribers/customers. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like Apple should consider an Advanced option that can be toggled on for power users. Just a thought. True GarageBand already exists. Instead of crippling Logic, Apple should’ve created GarageBand Pro and made it Subscription based. They could charge $50-$100 one-time fee for Logic on iPad and still offer the subscription model if they want. Just don’t like a stripped down version was the right move. Also if you haven’t tried to macOS version of Logic Pro you can’t say this is a good DAW for iPad. This is just a glorified GarageBand. It is not Logic Pro. Full stop.
