Midi learn. I noticed you using the pads on the Launchkey mini for drums, which is great. The pads on my Akai MPK 2 Mini sadly didn’t work. No worries, I thought, let’s just use the midi learn feature. Ah. Not there. 😢
In my opinion, the best DAW on a mobile device. The more I dig in to Logic for iPad, the more I am floored by the amount of functionality they packed in this program. Most of the things people are complaining that Logic for iPad doesn’t do, haven’t dug deep enough.
True dude. I just tried Logic Pro, started about a week ago. I read somewhere someone complaining about it not having enough woodwind instruments. Actually we can tune any woodwind present to our likings by tinkering with the alchemy, reverbs, etc. So yes, those people haven’t dug enough.
Younger people these days have no idea how good they have it. Making music is so much more accessible. Just about anyone can record their music and it will sound good. When I was a kid I would use an old school tape recorder. I only used those recordings for personal use. Basically to record songs and riffs so I wouldn’t forget anything. It truly is amazing. It’s crazy to me that more people don’t utilize this. Even GarageBand can create some good sounding tracks.
A couple of pieces of magic: 1) You can double-tap the control bar at the bottom of the screen to put away all open panels except the tracks, and double-tap again to bring them up as they were before. 2) There are other ways to add instruments. a) Tap the + to start a new track then tap the … button on the MIDI tile; select an instrument or patch from the Patch/Instrument section. If you want to then open the Browser to try out different patches, tap the Open Browser switch with Type set to Presets. b) Select a track then open the Mixer; tap the + icon at the top of the pane to go to Setup mode; scroll up to the top to see the instrument name 2nd from the top; tap it and tap Replace to choose another one, or tap Show Presets to choose another patch.
if you want one thing thats def needed, is programming the midi keys or at least having a "logic ipad" midi setting to map the controller. You'll notice you won't be able to use transport/DAW controls on that novation... other than to just use as drumpads.
Having created music on the iPad via other DAWs over the past 4 years it doesn't surprise me that the platform is more than capable of the task. There have been music tools available for long enough and iPad works fine with them. Great to see Apple have embraced their own platform by bringing Logic over 😂. I wonder whether this will encourage other desktop DAWs to port their full-fat versions across. And whether it will actually make any difference to the quality of music that is created on iPads.
Logic Pro is pretty much the only thing which kept me buying Macbooks since I got an ipad. I’ve been wondering about the ipad version for a while and am happy it’s finally been out long enough to see people reviewing it. I’m deciding whether to go all out on the M4 ipad, or on a new MacBook, but seems a new ipad might be a better choice.
Would really want a long-term review of the Logic Pro for iPad. I have both the Mac and iPad version and so far I am enjoying the iPad more as it is more fun and intuitive. I am an amateur so I am probably missing lots of advanced features on the mac but roundtripping support is definitely the most important feature for me
I'm loving the iPad version of Logic Pro, too. It's simply great. Just two things are missing, a proper external monitor support and the complete notation section, which I really need. Now I'm experimenting with a collaboration between Logic Pro and Dorico on the iPad to get these things done…
There are a few other minor things missing. Flex Time and Flex Pitch being some. This was pushed out to meet a deadline and is only version 1.0 and is stellar thus far.
When do you think the iPad version will come with ALL the software instruments and sounds the Mac version comes with? I mean, the library isn't fully fleshed out. It's missing a lot. There is no point offering 1TB+ storage options for a tablet computer in my opinion otherwise.
It’s keeping me on the couch creating loops with the iPad on my lap. Then after a few nights when I go to create on the MacBook Pro I need to get into that again. The MacBook is more unlimited because of all the plugins I have, but there’s something about the balance between possibilities and constraints on the iPad that fuels creativity. The big challenge is making full songs. Haven’t gotten around to that yet. That’s my next beachhead.
Apple did great job with Logic Pro for iPad. I love the ease with which you can move projects back and forth between iPad and Mac Book. OK, there are more fine detail settings for instruments on MacBook compared with the iPad, but these MacBook setting are still preserved when the project is moved to the iPad and back. I use a Novation LaunchPad Pro Mk3 as both a Midi Control surface and Midi instrument with Logic Pro on my MacBook, but this currently only works as a Midi Instrument with Logic Pro for iPad. I can live with this, because what Logic Pro for iPad has over and above its Mac OS counterpart are its own control surfaces that you can pull up and use to control and play instruments etc, making it possible to be a standalone setup, unlike the Mac Version. My 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro has 2TB of storage, so I had more than enough room to install the entire Logic Pro for iPad sound library, which is virtually the same as sound library on the Mac version. When testing how well moving projects for Mac to iPad and vice versa worked, I initially tried using the Mac Logic Pro demo project. This worked, which was amazing when you consider how large this project is with all the content it includes, but I did have to remember to save it on my Mac to "include Apple Sound Library Content" otherwise when I loaded it on the iPad it would advise me there was some missing content, despite my sound libraries on both MacBook and iPad being virtually identical. There are also some third-party plugins and instruments on my Mac that I cannot currently use on my iPad, but I don't think this will be a major issue, when you consider how much is already available from within Logic Pro itself.
Great intro to Logic Pro for iPad. I am curious to see how the new iPad Pro with M4 works with Logic Pro and the features that open up from the upgrade. I originally ordered the 512 GB version of the new iPad Pro but changed my order to the 1 TB version just for the extra RAM which should make it a powerhouse of a setup for Logic Pro for iPad. Maybe I'll end up recording more often.
I have been using Logic since the emagic days , biggest frustration create a project and when you port it to the mac any custom auv3 plug ins are obviously missing! Like wise the other way, as the iPad doesn’t run mac plug ins. Although i think the iPad version is very good it is far from a pro operating system ie iPadOS. Anyway glad you are enjoying the plug in problem is an issue for me as i use both platforms extensively, but it is a start.
Great video I absolutely love Logic on iPad finally Apple brought it to iPad Pro users after years of talk from Apple about it. I’ve been using GarageBand for last 4-5 years but got frustrated with it because it’s so basic and watered down compared to Logic Pro on Mac. Now I’ve been using Logic Pro on iPad since it was released and I’m very happy with how it works and runs. I now have my mixer and automation, filters etc. 😂
I can see in the very near future using the iPad for creation and tracking (mainly due to the touch screen) and then taking it to the Mac for serious mixing (mainly due to 3rd party plugins)
great take! so many think iPadOS is inferior to macOS but the opposite is true, it will only get better from here, and the only way to get there where it's going is not having macOS on the iPad which enforces touch first designed Software from the ground up, a feature unique to iPadOS.
I use Logic Pro on my MacBook Air M1 and it’s the best setup I’ve used. I have a 2018 IPad Pro but unfortunately it doesn’t support Logic Pro….you need the bionic chip and later. From your video it looks like GarageBand.
@@BlueHawk80 Sorry, the comment was in no way intended to be weird. I rechecked. My iPad pro is a 2017, 10.5 inch 512 gig. An A1701. The comment re it looking like Garage Band was due to screenshots I'd seen.
@@BlueHawk80 Yes, it's fine for what I use it for....though an M1 model would be nice! But I use the MacBook Air for music with Logic so I can't complain!
Interesting and well done! I was a logic fan 20yrs ago and when I took a break and wanted to get back in I switched over to Presonus Studio One. Felt logic was getting stale… but this mobile version of logic appears better than Presonus’ iPad version (Capture). Do you know if and how well this logic mobile can handle multi track recording via usb? Also would you recommend only using this for capture and then moving over to a bigger machine for any post? I have a bunch of virtual instruments, sample libraries, UAD and Fabfilter plugins I use that I’m not sure if would be compatible with iOS.. seems in terms of horse power the iPad should have what it takes. Plugins won’t take up much storage but virtual instruments can get big.. just thinking out loud. Enjoy following your channel! Keep up the great work.
Would you rather recommend the current iPad Pro or iPad Air (13 inch) for this purpose? I have the second generation of iPad Pro and Logic is just so laggy when I use more than two tracks ... I have a MacBook Air M1 but I prefer writing music at school (music major) and use the iPad on the daily for sheet music annotations, hand writing composing and reading. Thank you!
Currently the 1.0 version is severely lacking in the audio editing department. I want to be able to record guitar and quantize the audio (flex time). I want to record vocals and record takes then compile the best of performances (quick swipe comping). I want to correct the occasional flat note(flex pitch). All missing currently. This is just a few to mention but very important to me. I also love sound design in Alchemy but on ipad it's restricted to pretty much preset choosing. Good start for Logic on ipad, hopefully in about 2 years it will get even with the macos version.
@@AfroThriller I don’t think so. No quick swipe comping. Look it up. Play a guitar part fast notes. Try to move the 51st note to the right with flex time. No flex pitch as is now….
Would love to see more tutorials on Logic Pro for iPad. As someone who has always wanted to get into music production but didn’t know where to start, this seems like a great setup to learn. As always, great content.
So have you used GarageBand on the iPad?, because I've been using it since 2012 but I wanted to know how Logic Pro compares to GarageBand if you're experienced with using both apps?,
Hi -- I'm a musician and I'm trying to decide between the 11 inch and 13 inch iPad Air 6. I mostly create video productions comprised of voice and acoustic guitar, but sometimes do projects that crank up to about 20 tracks, with submixes. I do like the more portable size of the 11", but am I likely to find the 11" a bit cramped for the more multi track projects?
Great video! Thank you for sharing this info - very helpful. I'm wondering if I have to repurchase my plugins like say, LA-2A that I'm currently using with Logic Pro 11 on MacBook, or is it somehow transferable? I know some plugins have multiple authorizations so would you have to go that route? Also, like Logic Pro 11, can you load the sound library onto an external drive? Can you run a project off an external drive as well? If you can help me out I'd appreciate it! I'm going to purchase the new iPad Pro 13" tomorrow so I'm very excited to try this out!
Hi Mark. Thanks for your video. I’ve also been running logic on a MacBook for years. I’m about to get an iPad for the first time. I wasn’t planning on using it for logic but will now do so. Couple of questions. I’ve been using native instruments rather than the inbuilt logic sounds. Have the logic sounds improved or will I still need to use the NI sounds? Also, the iPad I’m getting is the 11 inch version. Do you think it will be suitable for logic? Finally, how much use is an Apple Pencil when using logic? I wasn’t sure whether to get one Thanks
Great video! I’ve been on the fence about using Logic Pro on my iPad. This video makes me want to give it a try. I’d love to see a video of you giving a step by step of building a track. That would be very helpful!
It’s defo a step in the right direction, but no plugins means at BEST you can get an idea down etc. But then why not just use the desktop version? Desktop version isn’t 49 quid a year either…
If you have the money, why not? It’s a Mobile pre-production device that you can come up with ideas laying in your bed, $50 a a year is worth it for me, but that’s just my opinion
AuV3’s are plug-ins. A mobile version of VST’s. I learned to give the companies time to create them. I don’t think those plug-in companies knew Logic was coming to iPad or that there was a demand for them.
Yes, I did get the Apple dongle, but I can't plug it into my Apple 3 port adapter. It has a C port, but it doesn't transmit the sound to the headphones. I have to use them separately.
Just ordered the new iPad Pro 12.9 with 1T memory and can’t wait to download Logic Pro! I’ve been using Pro X on my MacBook Pro but honestly sometimes it gets annoying, not major screw this annoying, just annoying with the trackpad and drawing part of making music. This is going to have me GLUED to Logic Pro making music now with how seamlessly it looks to be! I’m chomping at the bits! 🤩
Wow what a shame, I love this channel, it’s often the first I look for, and was hoping you might use an audio interface with the iPad and Logic. Good vid anyway! Thanks
just found your channel, I have subscribed now, but myself I have been using logic and apple since 1997 ish, had cubase originally then moved to Logic, I was curious and excited about this Logic be made available on iPad, enjoyed the review you have made, going to try it out for myself now.
Can someone just please compare this product to Roland Zenbeats? If you want to make it as simple as what Zenbeats can’t do or sucks at compared to Logic Pro on an iPad.
Still not convinced. How much was your ‘basic’ setup? 12” M2 iPad Pro + Smart Keyboard! Compare this to an entry level M1 MacBook Air with a full version of Logic (which would come in under £1k). Not for me at the moment.
Great info Mark, as always, do you know if you still need the usb hub when using the new iPad m4, plus new magic keyboard which has power pass through ?
same here, how is 45 a year a bargain, you're paying for it every year, but my logic pro x i paid for once (like it should be), we should boycott these subscription models, it's a way of ripping us off
For me its not mind blowing if I have to rebuy all my third party AUs for Logic Pro to run projects on a very powerful I pad. It would be very logical to be able just to port the plug in folder onto the I pad and beeing good to go. Apple makes great hardware but many steps are too complicate for professional useres. For me it would be a dream to use my I pad with logic pro while traveling. I pretty much hate laptops… the I-pad is great for traveling….
IMHO Logic Pro for iPad should be included with the Mac version, and if not then it should definitely be included in the education bundle. I don't see the need to pay for a subscription on this. I would however love to replace Apple News+, or Apple Arcade for this as part of the Apple One Subscription. Other than that... The subscription model is not for me.
I try to download it but unfortunately not available for iPad 6th gen, I would not mind to upgrade for a bigger iPad but there is nothing with a jack that is much bigger less than one inch….
I cant believe after all this time and with all this crazy technology that latency is still a problem with wireless headphones. This just has to be solved. Tracking wirelessly is the dream and we need it already!
Can you turn up/down the headphone volume with this adapter? I’ve got one that won’t let me turn down the volume cause the iPad thinks it’s a HDMI output.
Hi Mark I really appreciate you great support for all of us followers of you . I just installed the logic and I want to know if possible used external keyboard 🎹 from comander Alessis Q49 on software of Logic Pro
Hmmmm .. can you do non destructive editing like on the computer Daws? For instance I use Reaper, if I go in to a project/song and start adding stuff or tweaking things .. when I’m done it will ask me if I want to save my work .. often times I’ll say no and quit Reaper and none of the tweaks I did are saved, however in Cubasis every little tweak I make is automatically saved unless I hit the undo button after each individual tweak, I don’t like that .. I’d rather make all the changes .. then if I’m happy hit save, that’s how Ive worked for 30 years. Also if I fly in a midi file with different time signature markers .. is logic going to read those? Cubasis doesn’t .. another big bummer. Thanks
Can someone explain to me if there’s a benefit to using Logic Pro on iPad while mainly using Logic on my MacBook I just wanna record myself without having to run back to my keyboard to stop and record
Hi, when I record a midi track using my Roland fp10, connecting it via a midi cable, the midi track gets recorded in the logicpro for iPad, however since I am using the sustain pedal on my Roland, the midi track has either too much sustain or if I reduce the sustain it becomes too little. Why doesn’t record just the way I use the sustain pedal?
It doesn’t work on my iPad Pro and it’s a subscription. I hate subscription models so I’ll be giving it a miss. £50 a year May not seem much but for an app?
I think people may have a problem because it doesn’t look like logic on a Mac and there right it’s not it’s Logic Pro built from the ground up and it’s powerful we all know this . But this is the first instance of logic give them some time after all they did do something that you could only do on Mac and now do it having your dinner rant over sorry
I can’t reduce the latency caused by Novation, & Iloud Micro monitors. The monitors will only work in Bluetooth mode . . . and the Novation keys are “late.” Please help.
Have you tried Logic Pro on the iPad? If so, what do you think Apple needs to do with it next?
Midi learn. I noticed you using the pads on the Launchkey mini for drums, which is great. The pads on my Akai MPK 2 Mini sadly didn’t work. No worries, I thought, let’s just use the midi learn feature. Ah. Not there. 😢

They need to contact native instruments and get that stuff to AuV3 or the library.
Where do you plug the headphone in? The dongle or directly to the iPad?
@@Roguetrainer yeah for sure it's the most important thing, really annoying oversight

Couple of questions. I’ve been using native instruments rather than the inbuilt logic sounds. Have the logic sounds improved or will I still need to use the NI sounds? Also, the iPad I’m getting is the 11 inch version. Do you think it will be suitable for logic? Finally, how much use is an Apple Pencil when using logic? I wasn’t sure whether to get one Thanks
Great video! I’ve been on the fence about using Logic Pro on my iPad. This video makes me want to give it a try. I’d love to see a video of you giving a step by step of building a track. That would be very helpful!
It’s defo a step in the right direction, but no plugins means at BEST you can get an idea down etc. But then why not just use the desktop version?
Desktop version isn’t 49 quid a year either…
If you have the money, why not? It’s a Mobile pre-production device that you can come up with ideas laying in your bed, $50 a a year is worth it for me, but that’s just my opinion
AuV3’s are plug-ins. A mobile version of VST’s. I learned to give the companies time to create them. I don’t think those plug-in companies knew Logic was coming to iPad or that there was a demand for them.
Yes, I did get the Apple dongle, but I can't plug it into my Apple 3 port adapter. It has a C port, but it doesn't transmit the sound to the headphones. I have to use them separately.
Just ordered the new iPad Pro 12.9 with 1T memory and can’t wait to download Logic Pro! I’ve been using Pro X on my MacBook Pro but honestly sometimes it gets annoying, not major screw this annoying, just annoying with the trackpad and drawing part of making music. This is going to have me GLUED to Logic Pro making music now with how seamlessly it looks to be! I’m chomping at the bits! 🤩
Thanks for sharing this valuable information!
Question: Does it matter what kind of iPad a person has? Can this Logic Pro be purchased separately?
yes it matters I have an older iPad Pro, and it won't allow me to download it.
Wow what a shame, I love this channel, it’s often the first I look for, and was hoping you might use an audio interface with the iPad and Logic. Good vid anyway! Thanks
just found your channel, I have subscribed now, but myself I have been using logic and apple since 1997 ish, had cubase originally then moved to Logic, I was curious and excited about this Logic be made available on iPad, enjoyed the review you have made, going to try it out for myself now.
Hey Marc! Would you maybe do a review of the M2 Mac Studio MAX
Can someone just please compare this product to Roland Zenbeats? If you want to make it as simple as what Zenbeats can’t do or sucks at compared to Logic Pro on an iPad.
Still not convinced. How much was your ‘basic’ setup? 12” M2 iPad Pro + Smart Keyboard! Compare this to an entry level M1 MacBook Air with a full version of Logic (which would come in under £1k). Not for me at the moment.
Today I learned British people use the word “showstopper” very differently from how Americans use it
We basically got to see what Logic Pro is going to look like on the MacBook and Macdesktop version, with the new features.
Great info Mark, as always, do you know if you still need the usb hub when using the new iPad m4, plus new magic keyboard which has power pass through ?
It will be nice if you can show recording acoustic guitar into logic then just working with loops and electronic music
Because of the topic of Logic for iPad, I (re)discovered the Logic Remote app. 😅
Not really roundtrippable to be honest. But it is really impressive especially given it’s a first release
Technically it is, and I'm willing to give Apple that ;)
Until you realize that you don’t have soothe, your 1076, and that dynamic eq that you used to hone in your vocal stack😂
It's defo a great mobile music creation setup for laying down initial ideas.
It’s better than that.
Unless youre a pro its good enough for anyone.
Is your music even better than a 4 track bro
Its a lot better than that lol
It’s honestly Logic Pro, which is a professional DAW. It’s capable of so much. And this is version 1.0
Hi Mark can you tell me which functions can be used with the novation keyboard and logic?
You forgot to mention any external interface compatibility and if your using Scarlett ?
Is this ideally meant for an iPad Pro? Could you run it on the cheapest iPad?
10 months later.... are you still using Logico n iPad or are you back to MacOS?
I Use sony playstation pulse 3d wireless headphone. It work perfect no latency.
For music prod? Cool
The app should be free with my purchase of Logic for my MacBook. Paying twice for an app and a monthly payment is a no go for me.
same here, how is 45 a year a bargain, you're paying for it every year, but my logic pro x i paid for once (like it should be), we should boycott these subscription models, it's a way of ripping us off
@@HakanTunaMuzik Agreed, I always PASS on the subscription apps and find something else to use. If I could DUMP Adobe. I can dump anything.
My Focusrite 8i8 doesn’t work with my new a iPad Pro 😫. Word is, iOS > jacks it up. Worked on my iPad Air perfectly 😢
For me its not mind blowing if I have to rebuy all my third party AUs for Logic Pro to run projects on a very powerful I pad. It would be very logical to be able just to port the plug in folder onto the I pad and beeing good to go. Apple makes great hardware but many steps are too complicate for professional useres. For me it would be a dream to use my I pad with logic pro while traveling. I pretty much hate laptops… the I-pad is great for traveling….
New sub.
THX very much for pointing out
(& linking to solutions) the iOS latency issue; one wrong choice & it’s metallic bouncing. 😐
IMHO Logic Pro for iPad should be included with the Mac version, and if not then it should definitely be included in the education bundle. I don't see the need to pay for a subscription on this. I would however love to replace Apple News+, or Apple Arcade for this as part of the Apple One Subscription. Other than that... The subscription model is not for me.
I try to download it but unfortunately not available for iPad 6th gen, I would not mind to upgrade for a bigger iPad but there is nothing with a jack that is much bigger less than one inch….
I know this video is old, but how easy is it to take live sounds recorded on a Zoom Mic in to this program and play around with them?
They should make a 14 inch version with headphone jack
Is that IOS version has a midi export?
Or STEMS export?
Hi Thank you for your review. Can you please explain how this pro can be helpful for a drummer.
It’s ridiculous you have to pay for it separate from the iMac version though. It’d be nice if they worked together instead
Does control surfaces like FaderPort work with it?
A single-window interface used to be called Logic Pro 8.
I knew it well.
Can I have the whole sitting and set up if I have an iPad pro M1 11”?
could I still use my studio usb microphone? What would I need?
I cant believe after all this time and with all this crazy technology that latency is still a problem with wireless headphones. This just has to be solved. Tracking wirelessly is the dream and we need it already!
My midi keyboard controller & “Bluetooth” speakers are latent as all hell. This software is useless to me!😊
I’m convinced ta, I’m getting it 😊
For a dawless person who needs a basic daw arranger for various instrument tracks, would this be a good way to go?
Can you turn up/down the headphone volume with this adapter? I’ve got one that won’t let me turn down the volume cause the iPad thinks it’s a HDMI output.
You can indeed - works as normal.
@@MarkEllisReviews thank you very much. You’re the best!
Hi Mark I really appreciate you great support for all of us followers of you .
I just installed the logic and I want to know if possible used external keyboard 🎹 from comander Alessis Q49 on software of Logic Pro
yeah I never understood why people would be wearing wireless headphones in Apple's promo videos when thats not how it works lol. I dont get it.
What about plugins support? And external audio interfaces would love to hookup my fireface ucx
NanoStudio 2 is amazing on the iPad.
I hate how they got rid of support with the iPad pro 2017 for this app
My iPad is a previous gen, but it even as is I dislike the subscription. I'd rather save up mowing lawns then. Cave in on a subscription
Hmmmm .. can you do non destructive editing like on the computer Daws? For instance I use Reaper, if I go in to a project/song and start adding stuff or tweaking things .. when I’m done it will ask me if I want to save my work .. often times I’ll say no and quit Reaper and none of the tweaks I did are saved, however in Cubasis every little tweak I make is automatically saved unless I hit the undo button after each individual tweak, I don’t like that .. I’d rather make all the changes .. then if I’m happy hit save, that’s how Ive worked for 30 years. Also if I fly in a midi file with different time signature markers .. is logic going to read those? Cubasis doesn’t .. another big bummer. Thanks
What a great video Mark - thank you
Does it use AUv stuff? Can I use my external synths and stuff? No midi learn? Dealbreaker. Nothing you can say after matters
Can someone explain to me if there’s a benefit to using Logic Pro on iPad while mainly using Logic on my MacBook I just wanna record myself without having to run back to my keyboard to stop and record
I agree totally. It’s fantastic.
The stacking is just like Ableton Live.
Is the all nubs/potentiometers working? And pitch/distortion?
I have launchley25 and the nibs and undo/rec doesnt work at all
I just got this set up do I need a wire on the notation keyboard for the midi
Hi, when I record a midi track using my Roland fp10, connecting it via a midi cable, the midi track gets recorded in the logicpro for iPad, however since I am using the sustain pedal on my Roland, the midi track has either too much sustain or if I reduce the sustain it becomes too little. Why doesn’t record just the way I use the sustain pedal?
It doesn’t work on my iPad Pro and it’s a subscription. I hate subscription models so I’ll be giving it a miss. £50 a year May not seem much but for an app?
I'm using a Launchkey25 with LogicPro for iPad, but the pads don't line up with the visual drum pad on-screen. Do you know how to fix this?
I think people may have a problem because it doesn’t look like logic on a Mac and there right it’s not it’s Logic Pro built from the ground up and it’s powerful we all know this . But this is the first instance of logic give them some time after all they did do something that you could only do on Mac and now do it having your dinner rant over sorry
Hey Mark Ellis!...Thanks Much !.......
Can you record the bias fx2 tones into Logic Pro x on the iPad ? If so, how do you route it that way?
Which Novation controller are you using?
I can’t reduce the latency caused by Novation, & Iloud Micro monitors. The monitors will only work in Bluetooth mode . . . and the Novation keys are “late.” Please help.
