![]() Let’s not forget that this is version 1.0 of Logic Pro on the iPad. Even though your favourite controls, areas, and settings might be located elsewhere, most of them are present and correct. Equally, switching between editing, triggering, and recording on the Live Loops screen takes some getting used to.ĭespite this, it doesn’t take long for it to dawn on you that this really is Logic Pro. ![]() For instance, it took me a while to work out how to add instruments to midi tracks (you do so at the bottom of the screen as part of an Ableton-like chain for that track). It looks like Logic, but this is clearly a complete reimagining of Apple’s DAW. Just like Final Cut Pro, the iPad version of Logic Pro feels both immediately familiar and rather disorienting. I immediately ordered the Novation LaunchKey Mini which is featured on Apple’s Logic Pro for iPad website and is about as plug-and-play as they come. So, you’re going to need a dongle, because let’s not forget that Apple removed the headphone jack from all of its iPads, including those aimed at the pro market.ĭepending on how you make your music, you’ll probably want a midi controller keyboard, too. ![]() I can confirm that the delay is significant and makes anything but wired headphones a no-go. This refers to the inherent audio latency of using Bluetooth headphones. Clearly, I wouldn’t be monitoring my musical explorations on the iPad Pro’s built-in speakers I’d need a pair of headphones.Ĭonnect your AirPods Pro or AirPods Max, and Logic Pro informs you immediately that there might be a ‘delay’ in playback. Just like Final Cut Pro, my first thought when heading into Logic Pro on the iPad was a practical one. It’s a country mile from the experience on the Mac but it’s immediately inspiring and hints at how complete this version of Logic Pro might be. There’s also a nudge towards the abundance of sound packs on offer, which features patches, loops, and presets for everything from vintage breaks to 8-bit ‘legends’. You can jump into a Live Loops session, head straight into a blank timeline, or gain a head start with one of several genre-specific Live Loops ‘grids’. Logic Pro on the iPad also follows in its video editing sibling’s footsteps by gently guiding the user in with tutorials and sample material. I’m leaving my side of the argument there. Want to use it for the rest of your life? That’ll be £4.99 per month or £49 per year, during which time, presumably, you’ll receive any updates Apple throws its way.
