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

Clearly they’re not, or else it would’ve come free, like iMovie does, and they most certainly wouldn’t have turned it into a subscription service.
That's pretty much how i see it too. I own lots of plugins and not a single one is in the app store. Probably because plugins can be so niche and un-commercial that they just aren't something you'd ever find in an app store.
My only hope for Logic Pro for iPadOS is that maybe if it's popular enough, it will help ignite a shift in the plugin community where developers will be willing to invest the time and money to put them there. My expectations are low.

And instead gave us USB-C meaning you can now use a professional grade external DAC however, without a dongle.
The headphone jack on iPads while was never "professional" grade - was handy.
You can use bluetooth for non latency-critical tasks.
By running around, I don't mean traveling. I mean carrying the iPad working in team in a production setting jumping from one person to another. You won't carry a MacBook jumping from one person to another.
I don't pay $300 a year for that crap. I got one perpetual license for FCP, and that's all I need.
My sources tell me it’s coming in the next bundle called Apple II.
Virtually no one uses a headphone jack for audio work
I’m trying to picture what this use case is exactly that you need to RUN from person to person with a laptop open and some audio or video editing software up and running
Let alone how a tablet running inferior software is going to make that so much better just because you don’t have to hold it open

My wife does this all the time. As a real estate agent shes does lots of design work social media posts and printable media.
She just grabs her MacBook, passes it to me and asks my opinion. I make or suggest changes - she chooses the opposite of my opinion - I hand it back to her wondering why I was even consulted in the first place while she makes the edits and goes on her merry way.

This is another way you can tell who's just bandwagon complaining vs who this stuff is intended for.
If it wasn't for the fact that none of the plugins or sound libraries I use are available on iOS, I think I could feasibly do most of what I use Logic for on the iPad. I always found garageband for iPad really cumbersome to navigate so I'm just hoping Logic Pro has a more versatile UI.
I edit 4k videos in Premiere 5-15 mins in length with 3-5 tracks (obviously a non-pro here) so I never have had a stability issue. I do plan on testing out DaVinci Resolve this summer. I am still on the $15/month Adobe Creative deal from 3 years ago (they have renewed it twice when I canceled) so I haven't really felt the need to venture into FCP or DR yet.
Yeah,
To be honest I suppose I could most of what I do on an ipad as well (if I had all my plugins and libraries)
But I personally just find tablets cumbersome to use in generally, so I just can’t imagine why I would
Maybe if I was younger and grew up using tablets it would make more sense to me?
But after going from tape to computers, I don’t see what the jump from computer to tablet accomplishes other than making the hardware and software less powerful and the ui more cumbersome
When I use logic I’m sitting at a desk, or at least in a room close by, I don’t need it to be portable
I have different tools for remote work that serve me fine. And if I NEEDED logic outside of the studio I’d just buy a laptop or even a Mac mini (I used to have for using mainstage live)

The same people who won't even purchase them.
The people who are whining and claiming that the iPad Pro is not a pro device have never used an iPad Pro. Simple as that. Having said that it is a different work environment. Using the iPad with the pencil just feels much more intuitive. In the end iPads and MacBooks are simply tools, and how you use those tools matter what you get out of them. A lot of people are also forgetting about the new 16" iPad Pro that's coming out and being geared toward creative professionals. It will have its own OS (MacOS lite) and I'm guessing it will change a lot of peoples minds about this topic.
And there it is: Yet another betrayal as Apple descend into the same end-stage capitalism abuses as every other BS tech company. I hate this. All of it.
I did not know they were introducing yet another separate device specific operating system
(I get that they are all Darwin, but still)
