Hello everyone and welcome to another Discovercast. My name is Michael Doey's and I'm here to talk about the next iPad app that came out today that we haven't covered yet. And that's logic pro. I'm really excited about this one, folks. So as we did last time with Final Cut, we're going to start with the keyboard and see what we can do. And then we will work towards using the touchpad. And we're going to try to get this all done in one podcast this time instead of having to do two. So with all that being said, let's get going. We have the initial screen here, the welcome to Logic. So let's see what we got.

This is already a gig of stuff that's going to be downloaded. I'm going to keep that selected.

Selected Hip Hop Essentials 593 millibars switch button on and that's another double tap.

To toggle setting 553 megabytes. I'm not as interested in the hip hop stuff, so I'm going to unselect it off. Just personal preference. So I'm going to go to continue.

Download two packs button.

So download two packs now this has already been very accessible. Very good stuff, guys. Really excited about this.

Download two packs button cancel Button okay.

So that was the next thing. So let's explore this new window that came up.

So these I might be interested in using in the future because I'm trying to learn music. So I'm really excited that all these things are here. I'm really, really excited about this folks. To start out, I'll be using this for podcasting, but eventually I do want to learn some music, so we're going to keep exploring.

Record a vocal or instrumental card button featured sound packs heading see all button ultimate 808 button backlight Bounce button keyboard Collection button rock Drummers Button apid legends button vision Inverse Button vintage Melodron button.

So these are all packs that you could still download that we haven't even touched.

So we're just going to go create.

So this is a very similar thing to the final cut. Create new thing.

Midi software instrument button. Audio sennheiser profile.

Audio sennheiser actions available.

Close project back button.

Okay, so now we've created our project. We've got a lot of stuff here.

Project Actions menu button rewind to zero button play switch record switch cycle switch button off position bar.

One beat, one division.

One tick, one display tempo. 1200 beats signatures. Time four slash. Count in, switch button on, double tap to toggle setting.

I always turn off count in off.

Click switch button off, double tap to toggle setting. That's basically the Metronome undo button held button more button, pop up button back. Button audio patches heading search button audio back button back button back browser heading sounds and settings heading instrument patches audio patches loops button samples but plugin presets patterns button get more sounds heading sound library button live loops switch button off tracks area switch button on dub normal switch button tracks area switch normal switch button automation switch button off double tap.

To toggle setting all basically the things that you expect in Logic for looking at your tracks.

Selected trim button, loop button, split button, stretch button. Multiple select stretch, split button, stretch, but multiple select switch coffee. Switch button. Snap one, four button, more button. Pop up button. New track button, duplicate track button. Show global tracks. More. Button pop up button cycle.

Bar one, beat one. Division one, tick one.

Fort Ruler, song and Marker.

Bar 129, beat one. Division one, tick one.

AJ playback head.

Bar one, beat one. Division one, tick one.

Audio one. Audio track mute button, solo button, record button volume 71% adjust one select loops, instrument patches or off track header controls visible but select loops, instrument patches or audio patches in the browser track header controls horizontal scroll bar night browser switch button on double tap to off so.

The button to turn off the browser is at the bottom left. I like that because it makes it a lot cleaner of an interface. So that's what we did there. We turned off the browser, so all that stuff on the left went away.

Inspector switch button off fader switch button off editor switch button off double tap.

On I have no clue what the editor does, so that's interesting.

Off plugins switch editor plugins mixer switch button off play Surface switch button off play Surface switch button off so I.

Believe the Play Surface lets you actually play on the actual device.

Mixer switch button on so let's look at the Mixer plug editor fader inspector browser two stereo out mute button master mute button two stereo out mute buck one audio one solo but mute button volume fader 74% a $0.0 button button.

So there are unlabeled buttons in the mixer. So just letting people know that they are images, I'm not sure what they are.

Volume fader 74% adjustable 0.0 but balance zero read button input monitoring button record button button record button button volume fader 74% 0.0 button balance zero adjust read button button stereo output but input one button volume fader 0.0 balance zero read button filter image two one filter image resize handle 55% button adjustable. So again activate to toggle height. Swipe up or down with one finger to adjust the value.

There's a lot of things that are labeled that are not, and it's kind of hard to tell if you're just going through this, what they're going to do. So this will take a person very much more skilled in audio than me to really determine more.

Button on slash off switch multiple select selected mix button setup button horizontal scroll bar track Header Controls visible audio one audio track volume set record button volume One track Header controls visible plug mixer switch button on off so I just.

Used Explore by Touch to find my mixer and I turned it off. So we're going to go ahead and back up.

Go up ways save inspector browser horizontal scroll track Header Controls visible audio one audio track track One one use the rotor to access toggle track Header controls visibility tracks playhead whoa, hang on, hold up.

Did you hear that hint?

Toggle track header controls visibility Tracks Selected Track Header activate to select the track.

Or to open a menu on a.

Selected track use the rotor to toggle track header controls visibility Headings containers Speaking Rate 60 words characters Playhead bar Two beat one.

Division One. Tick 1. Bar One. Beat one. Division one tick one.

Okay, so I'm going to press the R key and see if that records just like on other platforms. Yes, it does. So we are now recording and I can hear twice. I guess it's both monitors because it lets you monitor your stuff. That's really nice. Although it's very disconcerting in what we're doing here. So this is to record some audio and we're going to see how we can edit it okay, so we've just recorded our first audio. Now I've changed my but it looks like we're still playing. Okay? So what we can do now is use our playhead, and I think we can use our rotor.

Bar 15 beat 1 bar 14 Beat bar 15 Beat one Division bar 14 bar 30 bar twelve Beat bar eleven beat. Bar ten beat. Bar nine Beat one div eight Beat one Division bar seven beat 1 bar six beat 1 bar Five beat One division bar Four beat One division 1 bar Three beat One division One tick 1 bar Two bar One beat One division One tick one.

So already this is much more accessible than Final Cut as far as voiceover folks, because there are Rotor actions. So I was able to use my rotor and flick up and down to go between different items. Now, again, there are unlabeled buttons around the app, so this is a lot better. So let me try to make an edit like I would on the computer. So I'm going to press space to play. Yes, it does. So we are now recording and I can hear twice. I guess it's my monitor. So let's just say I want to do this here. I'm going to do command T both monitors which did not do what I thought it would do. Command T did not make a split because it lets you monitor. So that's kind of a shame. Let's see. Okay, so already the keystrokes are not the same here, folks. Just letting you guys know that they are very much not the same.

Selected track header. Selected track header.

Vo.

Left and right arrow is not doing selected Track Header. Select all inside cycle. Activate default. Selected track header. Selected. Selected project number zero one Audio Region.

Bar Seven beat One division 1 bar Six, beat One division One, tick One.

So I really like that you can move with the playhead like this. So I guess what we need to do is figure out some keystrokes because or what we need to do is figure out how to split or how we can make edits.

Caps Lock On caps Lock Off ruler Playback Head bar song and Marker bar One hunt Cycle bar more button pop snap One. Slash Four coffee switch multiple select switch stretch button split button split split tool.

Really? Well that's good.

So there is a Split Tool stretch button selected. Split button, loop button trim button select stretch button selected. Stretch multiple select switch stretch selected. Lube button trim button lube selected. Split button selected. Split selected. Project number zero one audio region starting.

So I'm trying the arrow keys.

Bar eight bar eight, Beat one, division one, tick 1 bar eight bar eight bar eight, Beat one, division one, tick one.

Doesn't sound like the arrow keys do much.

Bar eight b Two division One headings adjust value tracks playhead tracks. Adjust value. Bar nine b one cap R-O-J words, characters playhead tracks headings zoom headings containers speaking rate six words character selected. Project number zero one audio read D-E-J-O-R. Cap. P cap P-R-O Julia.

One, tick one, button adjustable so we.

Can move our playhead and then bar.

Eight beat one, division One tick bar nine, Beat One division bar eight, Beat one, division one, tick one.

Okay that's cool. So what I did was I put the split Tool where I wanted and I pressed and I double tapped and it split from where I was to the end. Now I wonder what happens if so let's go ahead and do undo.

Close. Project back button selected.

Project Number Zero bar nine, beat One division bar eight, beat 1 bar seven, beat bar six, beat one, division one, tick one selected. Split Tool bar six, beat one, division.

One, tick one, adjustable double tap where.

You want to put the first split and then I'm going to go back further in the project.

Bar six bar five, beat bar four, beat one, division one, tick one.

Basically it split again to the end of the project.

Bar six Beat One division one tick 1 bar seven beat One division one tick One.

Well, it did split. So I'm wondering if what I can do now is double tap split split.

Tool Bar six Beat One division one tick 1 Bar eight Beat one division bar seven Beat one division.

Split tool button, adjustable. Split tool button selected.

Project number zero 1 Bar six beat 1 bar seven Beat One division selected. Split Tool Bar seven Beat One division.

One tick one button adjustable bar eight.

Beat One division one tick one.

So yes, you can. With the Split Tool, you basically tap where you want to put your splits, and then it splits those regions there. Now let's see if I can go and select different regions. Now with a rotor.

Tracks playhead characters, words, speaking rate 60 containers headings adjust value. Tracks adjust value.

So maybe I need to go back.

To the Trim loop button. Trim Button loop but selected stretch but multiple select snap one slash four multiple select stretch select Lube trim button. Trim selected. Selected project number zero one two audio region starting at bar seven beat One.

Division one tick one length three cap.

P cap p playhead characters words Speaking Rate 60 containers headings zoom tracks audio One audio track one selected track header.

So I have the whole track activate.

To select the track or to open a menu on a Zoom headed containers Speaking Rate 6th words characters playhead selected audio One rename button duplicate but create summing stack create folder stack show patches but find similar save patch delete button.

So this is the menu on the track.

Delete unused tracks. Dismiss context menu button. Close project selected project Number seven, beat.

Selected project number zero one two audio.

Region starting at bar seven beat one division one, tick one length three bars, two beats one division.

Select project number zero one two. Dismiss context menu.

Okay, so that's interesting. I can use left and right arrow to go by audio regions, but it does not tell me that it's doing that with Voiceover. So that's kind of a pain. So I can probably press Delete Region Deleted and that did not do what I wanted it to do. So we're going to undo it. Deleted Everything.

Alert delete Track and Regions.

So I just told, let's see.

Deleting this track also deletes the regions on the track. Cancel Button delete cancel Button deleted track close project Back Button alert delete Track and Regions deleting this track cancel Button delete Button cancel deleted track Close Project.

That'S just a region Selected let's see.

Deleted so that was weird.

I just pressed delete again and it deleted the region. So I'm going to put that region.

Back region Deleted okay, so there has.

To be something I'm missing with Voiceover to do some more of these things, but I'm not seeing it. So let's go ahead and put the region back. So let's go ahead and see project.

Number zero, one two audio region starting at bar seven. Beat track header controls visible, select project number. Audio want volume, record solo mute, select ruler song cycle bar one more, but snap coffee multiple, select stretch, split loop, select automation. Normal switch button on tracks area normal switch button on tracks area, switch live loops more help, undo, click count it display tempo, 120 dots position bars, cycle switch record play switch, rewind to zero project actions menu button. Close project, close project back button.

So what I'm trying to find out if Logic has some of the settings that you could have, like on the actual app.

Display signatures time four four key theme age button signatures heading time signature numerator four adjust denominator four key signature mode selected. Major button minor button key c button pop up dismiss. Pop up double click switch button off double undo button help but more button. Pop up button settings. Button settings. Customize control bar button. So settings.

Here we go.

Settings?

Settings. Double tap to dismiss. Pop up window button selected app settings button project settings button selected project. Set done. Button selected. General button audio button recording. But midi but automation. View. Button run in background. Switch button off.

Switch on to let Logic Pro run.

In the background while you use other apps. Regardless of this setting, logic Pro runs.

In the background while recording audio.

So it sounds like this can run Logic Pro in the background. So you could do other things on your iPad. That's pretty neat.

Run in background on Alert run in Background you may experience performance issues depending on which other apps are running. If this occurs, it may help to increase the buffer size. Tap the Audio tab, then choose a different buffer. Setting OK button.

Switch on to let logic pro run in the select regions.

On track selection, switch button on double tap to toggle setting select track on region selection switch button off. Double tap to on select switch run. In background view button automation Button Midi Automate View button selected view track appearance region color individual Button pop choose whether regions can be colored individually region track selected Automation Midi Button recording Button audio Button so let's go to the audio. General button selected. General Audio selected. Recording Midi automation view selected. General button selected. Devices button general auto select. Audio devices switch button on. Double app to toggle set off on logic. Pro selects the last connected audio devices. Logic Pro selects the last connected audio devices input Sennheiser Profile output Sennheiser Profile.

So this is pretty nice for the fact that I think this is the only app that lets you do this.

Currently output. Sennheiser profile I O buffer, 128 samples output. Sennheiser profile output sennheiser pro input sennheiser prof input sennheiser profile I O buffer, 128 samples input gain heading 100% logic auto select audio devices switch button on off select audio input sennheiser profile iPad microphone button oh, it does let you.

So I turned off auto select and it lets you pick iPad microphone. That's cool, guys. That has been the first time I've seen this as an option anywhere. So this is really nice, folks.

Selected sennheiser Profile button. Input sennheiser output sennheiser sennheiser Profile speaker buck Speaker Button selected. Sennheiser Profile airplay single destination buck airplane multi destination button.

So that's interesting too. Those options. Of course. For now, we want just where it was.

Speaker selected Sennheiser Profile double tap to disselect it Prod done but General But select it. Select Audio input and output devices manually below select Audio input and output devices input Sennheiser Pro select Audio Input and Output auto select Audio on.

So we do want it to select automatically.

So that's the closed project a lot less than what you get on the actual desktop, but this is still a great audio editor. There's still a few things I want to figure out here.

So this is very much like logic on the computer. So again this is very nice. Much more accessible than Final Cut but it still has some issues I need to work out. But this is definitely one. I would recommend that if you are a blind audio editor and you want to use voiceover, this is doable not optimal but definitely doable. So I was able to make some edits. It was a little tricky but again as low vision, I don't know if I would like to use the iPad. I think there's more sound packs and some good ways to get started learning to edit. But I'm really excited about this app folks, really excited. Eventually I will have to do a like edit a podcast and we'll do a follow up discussion about this on if I was able to make this a primary place to work. So this has been very exciting and another Discover cast that is done. I'm very excited to have you guys with us. So thanks again for putting up with me this whole time today with all these podcasts. So we'll be back with our typical IA cast and we'll talk about all these things and our views and I just want to thank you all again for being here. This has been another video and audio podcast and this one was on Logic Pro so I'm really excited to check it out now that we've done these podcasts so I can dig into these apps fully and then let you guys know more as time goes on. So thank you again and we'll see you next time.

Thank you for tuning in to the IA cast. We hope you enjoyed the show and found the conversation to be insightful and informative. If you have any feedback or comments we'd love to hear from you.
