Update
This is not beginner friendly at all. I enjoy the DJ APP far more as it’s easy to just insert my own tracks and sample. This is not what I call Apple simplicity. The Final Cut Pro app is enjoyable because it’s a nice cut from the imovie app which was easy to understand without the need of tutorials. I did not enjoy this app at all just way too many things going on for me just seems extremely bunched up I thought it would be a different more enjoyable experience compared to the Mac version since it’s on an iPad but I was wrong,incredibly frustrating app with preinstalled things I just don’t need
After spending more time with the app it’s not so bad at all but I just still feel like the simplicity is not there. Just to insert your own tracks is cumbersome..I have to drag from my files according to the steps in the Logic Pro manual. I get it it’s an iPad so it makes sense to do that but even dragging it into the app is confusing if you’re a beginner all I wanted to do is sample vocals I wish it moving around the app was a bit more simple for hobbyist. Not a producer by any means but the way I can fly through Final Cut pro but not this app is frustratingIt’s a real DAW with everything I need
I quit Cubase 10.5 a few years ago. You can’t even do proper ducking with it. Ditched the pc laptop for a much faster M-1 iPad Pro with 16g ram. Tried Cubasis 3 which is absolutely Stone Age compared to the advancements from Logic Pro for iPad. It’s absolutely legit and I’m able to do all kinds of fun things with it I could never do with any iOS 3d party product. Which I can still use with logic. The price for subscription is worth every penny…you could pay for 10 years before it’s as much as Cubase, plus it doesn’t go obsolete on you, while you pay to upgrade Cubase to the next version. If you don’t wanna spend the price of a single cup of coffee and doughnut once a month for the full time use of this superior app…whatever. I’m having too much fun to waste time convincing you. Except for writing this review obviously....
I hate GarageBand for 2 reasons and this is just like a more messed up, more noisier, more annoyingly little buttons to touch and screw you up not knowing whats going on with your song...
1st - missing on the actual keyboard semitone transpose option! Its got octave transpose why not add the more needed option and transpose semitones? Apple thinks every one who make music plays % 100 accurately and comfortable in any key? Yes some midi keyboards got that option but why this app its called "professional" if its missing such a simple option? Or this is just a rebadged GarageBand? Which is not bad but at least its free and doesn't pretend to be called "professional".
The 2nd thing I hate is even more annoying because apple seems to care for loud noises with their AirPods and loud music in headphones and healthy sleep and making you get up and exercise but when it comes to "dark" "theme" in GarageBand AND THIS APP they totally forget their care of the peoples eye? The app is mostly light gray and dark gray texts on black background then hits you with white options and such white piano keys that you need a couple of minutes to get normal vision. Why????? Why no one gets annoyed by this??? In dark mode there should never be black tex on white background!!!!!! This hurts peoples eye!!!!!!
I hate the fact that apple invented the dark theme or night mode and didn't bother to make it good at least in their factory apps the once that comes with their devices ☹️
