Logic Pro for iPad features a complete collection of sophisticated creative tools for professional songwriting, beat making, editing, and mixing—all with an interface that’s been designed from the ground up for iPad. Use Multi-Touch in Logic Pro to perform powerful software instruments with the tap of a finger and interact naturally with intuitive controls.

Creative production tools make it easy to quickly make beats and explore new sonic territories, and a full-featured Mixer gives you everything you need to create a professional-sounding mix entirely on iPad.

These are some of the things you can do with Logic Pro:

Find sounds in the Browser, which includes a large collection of patches, loops, presets, and other musical material to add and use in your projects.
Use advanced beat-making and production tools with Sample Alchemy and Beat Breaker.
Play and record a wide variety of software instruments using Multi-Touch gestures with onscreen Play Surfaces, or with a connected USB or Bluetooth music keyboard. You can also play and record third-party Audio Unit Extensions you have installed on your iPad.
Record vocals, instruments, or any sound that can be captured by a microphone, and edit the recorded regions in the Audio Editor.
Create a multitrack arrangement from your recordings, loops, and other musical material in the Tracks area.
Arrange and play with musical ideas in real time in the Live Loops grid. Cells in the grid contain musical phrases or loops that you can start and stop freely while keeping everything in sync with the beat and the project tempo.
Use virtual Session Players to create dynamic, realistic bass, keyboard, and drum performances in a variety of styles that adapt to the material of the project and to adjustments you make in the Session Player Editor.
Create repeating patterns in Step Sequencer by editing steps in a grid. Each row can trigger either MIDI note events or automation parameter changes. You can edit individual steps, rows, and the overall pattern.
Edit regions and cells using a set of editors optimized for different tasks and region types.
View and edit plug-ins and sends for a track in the Plug-ins area, where you can quickly shape and tweak your sound using plug-in tiles.
Mix your project in the Mixer, where you can view and edit channel strip controls, customize routing options, and add and configure plug-ins.
Automate changes to mix, effect, and instrument plug-in settings over time using total recall mix automation. You can record automation changes in real time and edit them later.
Control settings for the overall project (including tempo, key, and time signature). Use markers to define different sections of a project.
Share your projects in a variety of ways, including working with projects shared from Logic Pro for Mac.
Discover Logic Pro features and strengthen your skills with integrated guided Lessons.
Open projects created with GarageBand for iOS/iPadOS and import recordings from Voice Memos.
Create precision edits and detailed track automation with Apple Pencil.
