Wait, what??!! I mean, even Luma Fusion which is super cheap has external SSD compatibility! I’m glad I bought Luma Fusion a while ago…
Got a tip for us?

Apple Announces Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad With Subscription Models
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
5 dollars per month is a great value for this kind of software. You can create a lot in one month.
No one would seriously mix music with Bluetooth headphones
Especially those pieces of ****
We have no idea yet if this “feat” has actually been accomplished or not.
Do you... think producers don't use a variety of listening devices to tweak and reach a final mix? Or that songwriters don't use casual listening devices to compose demo tracks on the go?
If we focus on 'bang for the buck' Logic is the best DAW out there.
The sound library alone is worth more than the asking price.
As for "dumbing down", in my 10 years of ownership I have only seen feature after feature being added and nothing having been "dumbed down" or removed.
Professional musician. Casual Logic Pro owner. I'll try the trial on my iPad Pro for kicks and giggles, but imagine my current workflow of occasionally "field" recording using (free) iOS GarageBand then getting under the hood with my (paid) Mac OS Logic Pro will remain my norm.
Very true! Good theory.
But… can’t the AppStore support up to payments like $10,000 or something ridiculous?
Exactly. Subscription that is reasonably priced is fine. At $50, that’s 6 years until you hit $300. That’s not bad. At. All.
Adobe can go F itself.
What has been dumbed down about logic? I've been using Logic Pro since version 7 and have only seen it blossom into the same incredibly powerful DAW but become even more user-friendly with feature after feature being added.
That’s the hope, right?
Subscription = updates often.
(That’s Adobe’s pitch, anyways)
Apple can revoke your access to open the application…
Mac Apps Not Opening or Slow Due to Apple Server Issues: How to Fix For Now
If you are seeing long delays in launching apps or being unable to open Mac Apps at all, this may be due to Apple having significant problems right...

As much as you want to think so, you do not own FinalCut Pro. You paid a one time licensing fee, that doesn’t mean anything.
One serious problem with Bluetooth headphones is latency. What you hear in the headphones/earbuds is typically out of sync with whatever is happening on the recording/playback device. When you're just playing back audio, it's fine. When you're trying to perform or input something while listening over a Bluetooth connection... that's where the problems start.
I think a wired connection is the only realistic option when you're actually trying to do something in real time with the music/audio.
Regardless, what you said is true, that many producers and engineers do use a variety of listening devices during mixdown and mastering. About the part with composing tracks on the go, however, Bluetooth doesn't work well for the reasons I stated above.
Of course, you don't have to buy such products if they don't appeal to you.
I wasn't aware that Gurman had predicted or said this. I must have missed something.
I don’t see a variety of headphones and speakers in that ridiculous marketing photo
Sure but it would be unfortunate if the product I already use gets replaced with something inferior rather than continuing to be improved
With hindsight I probably over-reacted so I apologise for that, but I felt that your personal comment about my creative process was patronising.
What I personally do as a composer/musician is complex, and completely irrelevant to the point being discussed.
In your original post you were wishing for a headphone socket.
In my reply to you I simply pointed out that (Quote) "If you are using Logic Pro, in most cases your device is going to be connected to an audio interface".
I entirely stand by that comment.
Obviously we all use our tools to do different things in different ways, but:
- If one is recording/composing music, in a studio or on the move, they will almost invariably be using an external device, such as a musical instrument, a MIDI controller or a microphone (unless they are simply shifting Loops about, in which case I doubt that latency would ever be a problem)
- To plug any of the above devices to an iPad one will almost invariably need an audio interface, however...
- ...it is also true that a MIDI controller can be plugged in directly using USB. I do this on my iPad from time to time if I am composing on the move (I currently use Cubasis for this purpose on the iPad, or I carry a dedicated MBP for Logic if I need to record multitrack). When I do this I use a small hub that allow me to plug my Akai MPK mini controller, my headphones, and allow me to keep the iPad under charge at the same time .
- Composing using the on screen keyboard is really not my thing, but for those doing this, all that is required is either an Apple USB-c to Headphone Jack or, if they want to charge at the same time, a similar Hub to the one I mentioned earlier.
- I am not saying that low latency on Bluetooth headphones will never be a thing, but it will require an entirely new Bluetooth standard so, for the moment at least, it is indeed a lot to ask.

Not sure if Final Cut is made for "pro" users. It will work with a library like the Photos app, no external drives can be used. Hopefully this gets added in the future but most pro users have files too big for the iPad storage.
There’s even one that intentionally mixed for laptop speakers because he knew that’s what most of his audience would be listening on. Went on to make quite a bit of money on that.
For a second just a second I thought if logic Pro goes subscription, I’d get rid of the Mac…. But then why would I want to leave the Mac after being on it since 1992… I guess I would have to move to a different DAW but I’ve been on logic for 30 years
