Logic veterans might wonder where all the menus have gone, but for a lot of people - particularly those who’ve been scared off the Mac version because they fear it will be ‘too complicated’ for them - it will feel like a breath of fresh air. It all comes down to the interface and workflow, which have been beautifully optimised for the touchscreen experience.
When designing Logic Pro for iPad, Apple has clearly decided that, rather than give (some) people what they think they want - a straight port of the desktop version - it’s going to give them what it thinks they actually need. Apple Logic Pro for iPad: Performance and verdict Inevitably, there’s AUv3 support, and Ableton Link is on the guest list, too. Just double-tap one to open the full interface.Īs you’d expect, there are plenty more Logic/GarageBand staples here, too: guitar amps and stompboxes the automatic, configurable virtual Drummer Drum Machine Designer Live Loops the Step Sequencer and multi-take recording. The Ableton Live-esque Plug-in Tiles, meanwhile, give you fast access to all the effect and instrument controls in a track’s chain at the bottom of the display. Track Stacks and Track Groups are here, too, and there’s an all-new tag-based browser, which puts all of your content in one place where it can be searched and auditioned. Other things we haven’t seen before in an Apple-made iPad DAW include a proper mixer and comprehensive automation features. As with all the other instruments, these can be played with a choice of touch interfaces. There’s Sample Alchemy, which offers a touchy-feely way to manipulate samples, and the intuitive, hands-on fun factory that is Beat Breaker, a time- and pitch-morphing tool.

There are more than 100 in total, many of which have come straight out of Logic for Mac (hello Retro Synth, ES2, Space Designer, etc) but some of which are completely new.
We’ve seen and heard plenty of this content on the iPad before in GarageBand (the genre and artist packs, for example), but where Logic for iPad really starts to carve out its own niche is in its selection of plugins.

The basic install is a relatively svelte 660MB, but download all the available sounds, loops, patches, etc, and you’re looking at more like 15GB. What of storage requirements, though? Entry-level iPads over the past few years have typically come with either 32GB or 64GB of space, so is that enough? That really depends on how much of that space you have left and how much of the Logic Pro content you want to install.
