If you’re complaining about a “pro” app being $50/year, I don’t know if I believe you’re a pro in the sense that you’re actually using this software to make money. You should be making $50 back in one day easily, not to mention this would qualify as a business expense.
With the slow pace of improvements to Final Cut and Logic, this should boost Apple’s ability to push out more frequent updates. And you don’t have to keep buying software costing hundreds of dollars every few years just to get the new features.
I’m so tired of the panic every time people online read “subscription,” and I’m not even a developer.

I fully expect this iPad version to become FinalCut Pro 11 for the Mac within the next two years.
FinalCut Pro X hasn’t been touched in over six months, not even a bug fix.
Its last major update came out around the launch of the M1pro/Max MacBook Pro in 2021.
Unless they have a major 10.7 update on the way, I think you’ll see FinalCut Pro X become legacy, and a new universal Finalcut replace it.
Yep exactly. People don’t know how difficult it is to run a business. I’d be in major trouble if I took Marketing team budget for our inventory staff.
The web link does indicate solid iPad to Mac transfer.
Not true. It’s why iPhones are focused on more. It’s why we had a drought in Macs from basically 2013 to 2019 and recently. But iPhones got all the attention since it’s THEIR department
It’s not the same RAM and processor in the iPad Pro. It’s ultra low voltage to prevent the display from getting hot and keep the battery long life. The SSD also.
Wish people would stop thinking M2 in an iPad is the same thing as M2 in a Mac. Geekbench got so many fooled.
I’ve never had an issue with the pace of improvements to logic
I also only ever had to buy logic once, not every few years
The last update to Final Cut was in Oct 2022 with 10.6.5.
For only $ 100,- a month, you get it all!
The iCloud Ultra subscription
My mistake… And that actually changes things a lot.
An iPad mini being a tiny Logic machine is pretty incredible.
Not only that, but who would seriously want to do Pro work for video and sound editing on an iPad? It's like having Powerpoint on the iPad. Nobody creates a presentation on a tablet. They use desktops and laptops. Tablets are just not suitable for more than small edits, and content consumption. It's the form factor that is limiting for such kind of work.
For other workloads tablets are definitely great of course.
I guess Apple had to bring these apps to the iPad, because everybody was asking for them.
I’m sorry but that is the most basic thing to hang you up. If THAT is what is stopping you from using an iPad, how are you even using a phone? Have you tried using a keyboard and mouse? A 2 minute YouTube video might have helped you too, but you just stopped using it because of that?
Or a new 30" iMac Pro or iPad Studio (desktop) with an articulated arm and touch screen and Pencil support? Yes, please!
IMO subscription models really hurt artists.
Apple today announced that Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro are coming to the iPad later this month via subscription models.

Apple says that Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro feature all-new touch interfaces that take advantage of multi-touch on the iPad:
Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for the iPad will each be available for $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year, with a one-month free trial. Final Cut Pro requires an iPad with an M1 chip or newer, while Logic Pro requires an A12 Bionic iPad or newer. The apps will be available on the App Store starting on Tuesday, May 23.
Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro includes a digital jog wheel to navigate the Magnetic Timeline, move clips, and make frame-accurate edits. Live drawing allows users to draw and write directly on top of video content with the Apple Pencil, with support for Apple Pencil hover to skim and preview footage. Key commands are enabled when using an external keyboard. Final Cut Pro on iPad also supports the 12.9-inch iPad Pro's Reference Mode for color accurate editing.
Machine learning features include Scene Removal Mask to quickly remove or replace backgrounds without using a green screen, Auto Crop for adjusting footage for vertical, square, and other aspect ratios, and Voice Isolation to remove background noise easily.
The app includes a library of graphics, effects, and audio, including HDR backgrounds, animated patterns, and soundtracks that automatically adjust to the duration of a video.
Pro camera mode allows creators to shoot video in Final Cut Pro in landscape or portrait, monitor audio and recording time, and manually control settings like exposure, white balance, and focus. Multicam video editing automatically synchronizes clips for editing together, making it possible to switch angles with a single touch.
Media can be imported from Files or Photos and saved directly inside a Final Cut Pro project. The app also supports import of projects created in iMovie, and users can export Final Cut Pro projects made on iPad to the Mac.
Logic Pro
Logic Pro for the iPad uses a range of multi-touch gestures to play software instruments and and navigate projects. The Apple Pencil facilitates precision edits and detailed drawn track automation. Like Final Cut Pro, key commands are supported when using an external keyboard. Using the iPad's built-in microphones, users can also capture audio directly in the app.
The app has a full-featured mixer with channel strips, volume faders, pan controls, plug‑ins, sends, and precise automation. Multi-touch lets creators move and mix multiple faders at once, and the mixer meter bridge lets them navigate an overview of track levels.
An all-new sound browser with dynamic filtering helps creators explore all available instrument patches, audio patches, plug‑in presets, samples, and loops in one location. Users can simply tap to listen to any sound before adding it to a project.
The app includes over 100 instruments and effect plug-ins, with plug-in tiles for the most important controls. Production tools enable users to chop and flip samples, program beats and bass lines, and create custom drum kits.
A new time and pitch-morphing plug-in called Beat Breaker allows creators to swipe and pinch to reshape and shuffle sounds. The Quick Sampler can chop and transform samples into new playable instruments, while Step Sequencer lets users program drum patterns, bass lines, and melodies, and automate plug‑ins. Drum Machine Designer offers the ability to create custom drum kits by applying samples and plug‑ins to any drum pad. Using Live Loops, users can quickly build arrangements.
Logic Pro for the iPad supports roundtrip capabilities to move projects between Logic Pro for the Mac and iPad. iPad users can export completed... Click here to read rest of article

wwdc is a developer's conference. Not a new-product showcase. Most of the people in attendance don't work in the entertainment industry. They are people like me who type into text windows.
Logic is an obvious for the iPad. Expect a lot increased interest in Logic.
It's interesting to me how much they're announcing before WWDC.
WWDC must be pretty jam-packed then

Can you explain how? If I can use my Flash Drive, a Keyboard and Mouse/Trackpad as well as my Pencil, I can do as much or more as I can on desktop and it’s more precise. I can also hook up to a projector. Collaboration too. Keynote, Pages, Numbers, GarageBand, and iMovie all work fine for iPad. Now we can add Logic and Final Cut.
Before you go out and buy an iPad Pro, compare render times between the iPad and the Mac Studio. As good as the iPad Pro is, it can not compare to any of the higher-end Macs.
That said, iPad might be a way to do smaller projects, maybe a travel blog or youtube short.
You'll have to go back to dead folks since it started back in the 1600s. It just took awhile to migrate to software.
