Logic Pro for iPad

Pro-level music tools come to iPad

Many of Logic's classic software instruments and effects plug-ins have been carried over

Apple has been trying to convince us for a number of years that an iPad can replace a Mac for professional creative work and, in a handful of cases, like art and graphics that's arguably been true. For music production, however, serious Digital Audio Workstations (DAWS) haven't made the leap to iPad, with the notable exception of Steinberg's Cubasis. Perhaps in an effort to remedy this, Apple has created Logic Pro for iPad. Light years more powerful than GarageBand, it's also not a direct port of Logic Pro for Mac. Instead, Apple has created a supremely powerful new app that will be familiar to existing users but is completely reworked for the touch interface.
