The money isn't the issue. It's the fact that these apps have been one-time paid apps for Mac since time immemorial. Also not being able to move back and forth from the iPad and Mac with FCP projects when DaVinci can do this is absolutely stupid, considering these are natively integrated Apple apps.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Announces Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad With Subscription Models

Yeah, there needs to be a fix for that in the first update...
Apple's track record for fixing stupid things in a timely manner is not good. So maybe 5 years from now? I don't think this is something they want to "fix" at the moment.
With Mac app costing $300 up front, that's 6 years subscription. I think that Apple finds one time buy without ever paying for upgrade too cheap. I bought Final Cut Pro X in 2011. 10+ years without paying for upgrades. Impossible to do for most companies, even for Apple perhaps.
So was 3ds max until a few years ago. So was Adobe since V1…..things change. It’s shown because FCP on Mac is basically on life support.
Only if they already know how to use the software. Otherwise it's basically a $50/yr live tutorial....
It’s stagnant because you paid $300 10 years ago. The dev team is not getting enough revenue to make much more of an effort. They should have released 11,,12, 13 ets all with $300 purchases. This is how it was in the old days.
Given that DaVinci Resolve and LumaFusion offer external SSD support, this is a feature Apple will 100% be adding in the fall when iPadOS 17 launches.
I bought M2 iPad because I hoped they will soon allow us to install OSX to iPad. In that case connecting keyborad, mouse and external display or 4K TV this can be used as really good travel workstation.
0% of professional Logic users are using stock plugins, if this is not native OSX app none of plugins can be used.
The onky reason why I'm using Logic over ProTools is because I don't wanna to pay subscription for ProTools.
Waves recently canceled plugin sale in favor of subscription model and because of users backslash in 24h CEO apologize and reverted purchase model.
It's not about price at all. Problem is that people do bit like subscription models because it reminds too much on mortage. We like to pay once and bye bye.a
I tested garage band on ipad and it's a very sad and unusable app. This will be probably garage band on steroids, but still app for fun and kids.

Looks like Apple inadvertently announced a new version of FCPX coming out on, or before 5/23/23.
I fully realize that, I was just trying to say that there is a wired option to avoid any latency issues...?
Totally painful - I had been using Dropbox and switched to Google Drive in an effort to save some money, and I stored my FCP library in there for backup - its a flipping horrible idea/experience.
More reason iPad Pro should run MacOS since it's a one time purchase and not subscription. iPadOS is turning into a subscription trap with other apps like Clip Studio Paint that's subscription vs desktop counterpart that's one time purchase.
I wouldn’t assume that would be the case
I’ve also never had an issue with the amount of attention logic gets
It’s an phenomenally good deal that gets better all the time
Dropbox and Google Drive are nothing but a nightmare. I moved everything to OneDrive and it's fantastic. I am testing NordLocker, but so far it's a bit lackluster.
In theory, but my izotope and Waves plug-ins both have Mac apps that you have to use to sign-in to and manage your subscriptions/purchases/updates, etc. I doubt we’ll see them on the iPad anytime soon. I assume some plug-ins developers will jump on the train and others will ignore the fact that Apple even sells something called an iPad. YMMV.
Arranging and putting down ideas maybe, but mixing a +10 track song with a gazillion effects like this dude? No.
… oh wait: notice the AirPod pro max. Then he must be a pro. I take my words back.
Agreed!
Happy to pay for $300 for Aperture (remember that program?) that Apple made. But, not happy to be paying $10/month for Aperture subscription (if that existed).
I'm repeating myself, but to me, a subscription generally feels out of control for managing my finances. I typically do not want subscription because of that. There are some things that makes sense as a subscription because you are purchasing a service, such as newspaper, phone communication, iCloud storage, and so forth. But it doesn't make sense for most software (to me) that requires no active input from the vendor for end user to use that version of the program.
Why would you be activating a brand new subscription at the client's location? You would already be subscribed and using the software before you go there.
