Ipad pro logic pro x8/18/2023 ![]() I marvelled at the design of these a few years back when they debuted on the iPad GarageBand so they are welcome here. Interestingly they have taken the Smart instruments idea and made them in to controllers for the Logic instruments. Borrowing heavily from the iPad version of GarageBand, this controller allows you to mix, edit and perform using a very intuitive control surface. The show stopper for me though is the clever Logic Remote app for iPad. My old bass amp amp now in Logic Pro X – Mesa Boogie 400+ There is the much talked about Drummer plug in which lets you choose drummer by personality (?) and also you now have a basic Melodyne like functionality called Flex pitch which I have yet to try amongst countless other improvements. I have never seen these emulated before and I was really impressed with how it sounded. Track stacks bring a Reaper like function when you group a bunch of tracks into a folder, that folder gains a dedicated fader – are you listening Cubase? There is now a bass amp emulation called Bass Amp Designer and low and behold when I first instantiated (correct term!) the plug in I was faced with a graphical reproduction of my classic old bass amp a Mesa boogie 400+ and my old cab too, the quirky 1516. The much needed facelift has finally banished those tiny menus and the relocation of things like the transport bar to the top has made the workflow more intuitive. We’ll I need not of worried too much as Logic X is a huge improvement over its predecessor. I had previously bought (against my wishes!) Logic 9 which I hated with a passion so I wasn’t too thrilled at the prospect of spending more time in Logic land. Besides this artist, there is another that I will be working with soon who is also on Logic X too. It just made sense to do this rathe than both of us lose time with trying to convert the projects back and forth between our systems. Well, I have changed my mind, slightly! I had to buy Logic due to a collaboration with an artist I am working with. I have made no attempt to hide my distaste of the music software Logic in the past, perhaps because I am a long time Cubase user it is ingrained in me but also I just think that for years it has really lagged behind other DAW’s too. Yeah, subscriptions do have negative aspects, but I’m ok if the subscription price is reasonable.More music tech goodness to chew on folks! I decided to make a short film showing the integration of a bunch of new things, Logic Pro X, the iPad Air plus the Native Instruments Maschine Studio running the V2.0 software. You are only out $5 or if you are a professional then $49 a year is a drop in the bucket and the programs have to be updated especially on Apple operating systems as Apple often drops support for deprecated system calls when they update operating systems. ![]() Say you only need it for your summer vacation videos. Even then, it’s still customer manipulation.Īpple’s reach is so large and their pockets are so full that a subscription is ridiculous. ![]() To say users should be forced to fund ‘ongoing development and updates’ is a manipulative stretch that only makes sense for very small companies who don’t want to go out of business after two years because they can’t sell their software past the first major release or two. Unlike mobile phone service, internet service, iCloud, etc., software has no required development cost after release. A company of Apple’s size to use subscription payments for an app is absurd. I’d support these apps 100% if Apple didn’t decide to do a subscription.
