Logic Pro X is without a doubt, a wonderful music production tool, but my focus is video editing. The revamp to Logic Pro X and its integration with Final Cut Pro X, makes this an ideal time to see how well it works as a companion tool for video editors. It holds a unique position as a tool that covers many divergent needs, including audio production and post, studio music recording and mixing, live performance and music notation. There are quite a few challengers to the dominance of Pro Tools, including Reaper, Nuendo and Audition, but the strongest of these is Apple’s Logic Pro X. Nevertheless, if you really need to focus on audio, you need a dedicated DAW (digital audio workstation) application.

It’s a guess as to whether the rest of GarageBand’s iOS-specific tools will be included, along with the ability for these two programs to handshake on transferring audio in more sophisticated ways.Īpple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Most nonlinear editing software includes tools for editing and mixing audio. So, according to Apple’s mockup, it looks like the next version of Logic Pro X will bring over GarageBand’s Live Loops and XY effects pads. It’s worth pointing out that Apple’s big competitors in the pro music-making software space don’t have mobile counterparts, so deeper compatibility between GarageBand’s mobile experience and Logic Pro X’s desktop experience would be a notable differentiator.
It’s a fast and intuitive way to sketch out ideas and then further work on them in Logic Pro X. Plus, people just love writing beats by tapping around in Live Loops. Making GarageBand’s mobile tools available to Logic Pro X on desktop is a bigger deal than just “porting features.” GarageBand is a wholly different program than Logic even if they are both used for making music.įor someone who uses both, any updates that help to mirror workflows and preserve projects when moving between the two programs is massive. This suggests that the next version of Logic will have GarageBand iOS tools, and there could be greater flexibility when transferring projects between the two programs.
It’s a pattern-based way of making music, similar to hardware like an MPC or Native Instruments’ Maschine, and even more similar to the clips view in Ableton Live (a software competitor to Logic Pro X). In GarageBand, Live Loops is used to build musical ideas by layering loops of audio or MIDI in a cell grid. The image that Apple mistakenly published shows GarageBand’s Live Loops function and XY effects pads operating in Logic Pro X. And GarageBand iOS has a bunch of tools for making music with screen tapping - like Beat Sequencer and Live Loops - that don’t appear in the desktop version or in Logic Pro X. For example, exporting a Logic Pro X file to GarageBand bounces the entire thing as a stereo audio file. But it’s not a seamless experience, and each has unique features the other doesn’t support. You can use GarageBand on your phone to add layers to an existing Logic Pro X project or start a project in GarageBand and finish it in Logic Pro X. The two programs already talk to each other to a degree, which is useful. Meanwhile, Logic Pro X is a $199 desktop-only software designed for professionals. GarageBand is free, fairly easy to use, and works on both iOS and desktop. The image has since been replaced on Apple’s website, but a cache of the page on Wayback Machine confirms it’s real.Įven though GarageBand and Logic Pro X are both music-making DAWs (digital audio workstations), there are a lot of fundamental differences. Yesterday, a Reddit user noticed that Apple’s education products webpage showed a version of Logic with ported functions from Logic Pro X’s little software brother, GarageBand.
