More of a snarky point than a good point, but snark IS the currency of the internet these days
(I’m just glad that how I get paid doesn’t depend on continual snarkiness!)Anything subscribed to on an iPad through the store is trivially easy to unsubscribe. Heck, just go into settings and run down the whole list tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap. Done.
Of course, there are those companies like Netflix that KNOW it’s easy to unsubscribe, so they intentionally only make subscription available on the lowest tier. At that point, if someone isn’t looking at their credit card bill and making a note of what appears on there, then no service is going to help them!
Not really understanding the “Nevermind” because the subscription model has been in the rumors since the beginning.
I for one cannot believe they actually did this. Very excited. Day one.
Subscription?
Sigh... c'mon Apple, you're better than that.

Yes, but the HDX hardware means all their decades of proven tools are run on the audio interface you have spent over $4k for and know it will produce actual grammy level productions.
But in the meantime you had Rosetta 2 or just used your current x86 box until it was ready, then upgrade to Silicon. The power is in their dedicated hardware with FPGAs and DSPs not to mention ARM on-board processors, not Apple's Silicon MacBook Pro or Mac mini, or Mac Studio.

Apple made in-roads with Logic because of its $199 price for 10 years of free upgrades. If they're going to go subscription with the flagship Logic a lot of folks with gear to use both Pro Tools and Logic will switch to Pro Tools and not add a secondary subscription.
Most mastering work is done on Pro Tools.
I never use subscription apps. It’s just not how I roll. I think it’s time to look for jailbreaks again.
Because I was hoping I'd be able to use my copy I already have on my Mac, but I guess Apple doesn't want crossbuy.
Standard single port dilemma. Charging at the same time is also one heck of an issue. The Magic Keyboard solves that, but you probably need a USB-C Hub, with an around a 60W PD port. Then the Audio Interface or simply a headphone dongle.
So how do you roll in regards to this?, I'm curious.
I think Apple should implement optional paid upgrades for major versions (1.0, 2.0, …) and minor versions (1.1, 1.2, …).
I use a tiny USB C hub with a couple of USB A ports, one for the small Roland audio interface and one to connect to my (music) keyboard, and a USB C port for power if I need to charge, but I rarely do.
Im not sure if it has been mentioned but this would be a great software to add to the bundle of Apple One subscription. That would be a way to get more people to sign up to Apple One.
Yes. I’m a 39 year old kid. What do I know? Only that if I hear a song I like, I don’t have to buy it. If I browse playlists, I can have anything I want. All for a flat fee vs a limited pathetic little music collection I had in the 90’s.
Totally. But yeah. $300 software I might only use every now and then is a way better deal than a $5 a month thing I can cancel whenever I don’t use it
This is BIG and feels like when Apple used to update things "all of a sudden" back in the early 2000's. You didn't know something was coming and boom it was there and was a fun shock.
Only issue for me is subscription. Don't do those. Shame.
Why they didn't leave this for WWDC, I don't know. I could totally see this being for WWDC. They must have other things in minds for that.

I stopped using the iPad for that specific task because I had just done it earlier on a Mac and it was way easier. For one thing, the app version didn’t scale properly in split screen. I was using the Apple Pencil. This is what Apple says you can do. If I have to bust out a keyboard and mouse for the iPad then what is the point?
I think you may have understood me to mean that I quit using the iPad entirely. I still use it all the time, but not for work. In fact you may wonder why I even have it. It was given to me by someone who also tried to use it for work and discovered that it didn’t meet their work needs either.
I didn’t say that it doesn’t support plug ins

That what’s audio interfaces are for
I’d be surprised if many people are plugging headphones straight in to a computer while using logic
If you only use it once and awhile garageband is probably sufficient
Indeed, it will be interesting to see where ipad logic falls on the continuum between macos logic and garageband
And I don’t know what logic is in $US today but for CDN$250 it is an absolute steal

No. I'd pay 50 for the app, to own, but not 50 a year to a literal 2 TRILLION-dollar company. Hell. no.
Can you add more? Honestly, 2TB isn’t enough if you’re a Final Cut power user. I could see a way around this, keeping only projects currently in progress and libraries you frequently go back to. You can archive the rest on a local drive.
But Apple’s stingy approach to cloud storage really is a sore point and frankly kind of embarrassing.
It has, but I do not understand why. FCP and LP have absolutely nothing in common with the type of services bundled in Apple One, other than the general idea of a monthly subscription. It would be a segment of “one of these things is not like the others” on Sesame Street.
Fair point. But Apple is now making professional applications that requires a professional storage system. Their move.
