![]() ![]() The eight Artist and Producer Packs introduced in 2021 for GarageBand are also here, along with an example beat project from the producing duo Take a Daytrip (Lil Nas X). Each pops up a list of what comes in the pack and offers preview clips that demonstrate the sounds in the appropriate musical contexts. The new Sound Packs universally impress, with catchy names like Ultimate 808s, Cinematic Sounds, and Backlight Bounce. Logic Pro opens with a home screen full of toys: free sound packs and lessons, plus giant buttons to create new empty projects with either Track or Live Loop views. With the appropriate adapter attached to the iPad Pro, my stalwart Sennheiser HD 280 Pro and high-impedance 250 ohm Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro headphones sounded as expected, even despite the latter’s higher power requirements. Otherwise, you’ll need to buy a Lightning or USB-C to 3.5mm adapter or hook up a genuine audio interface, as you won’t want to deal with the latency inherent in Bluetooth headsets when laying down drum beats or composing synth tracks.

I had advance access to the app, and although the new subscription pricing gives me pause, my initial impressions are that Apple may be onto something here. It basically is Logic Pro on macOS, transformed for the iPad with a touch-friendly interface. But Apple’s new Logic Pro for iPad ($4.99 per month or $49 annually, with a one-month free trial) comes the closest to replicating a complete digital audio workstation I’ve seen to date. Plenty of music creation and multitrack audio recording apps exist on the iPad. Apple has a new way for you to record and produce music-and it could change the way you work. ![]()
