10 Logic Pro for iPad tips

Whether considering buying or already enjoying this great iPad DAW, we have some top tips to improve your workflow and get the most from the best touch musicmaking experience out there

1 Taking your first steps?

If you’re totally new to Logic Pro on the iPad, we’ll get started with a few quick tips in one go to help get you going. The first advice would be to make sure you take advantage of the supplied Lessons; they’re really good, so use them! If you’re a Logic desktop user, in particular, you’ll find several of these invaluable, as LPiP does these things ever so slightly differently to the way it’s done on your desktop DAW. And if you’re making the leap over from GarageBand, the good news is that there’s a dedicated Lesson for that, plus you can download a set of sounds dedicated to GB and load in its projects directly. For this, press the + icon, go to the GarageBand for iOS folder – which may be on your iCloud or iPad – and then tap a project. It should subsequently load up with all of the available third party AUv3s plugins.
