Control Logic Pro with Your iPad or iPhone!

[@jimboggs1041]

Brilliant, Nathan! I've been searching for a decent midi slider controller for automation, and you alerted me that the best one was under my nose already on my ipad mini and phone. I knew about Logic Remote, but didn't know that I could use it to automate plugin parameters. Thank you so much! (esp. from someone on the road often)

[@efsedita]

But if there’s latency, even just a little, doesn’t that render this useless?

[@AtomicAudioOfficial]

I was considering grabbing a Streamdeck for the quick command buttons, but may as well just use my iPad instead! Thanks a billion for this, you just saved me £200 :)

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

I actually use the stream deck app for live streaming with ECamm live too

[@ninjaneer1974]

for automation, this beats the heck outa dragging a fader with a mouse or in my case a trackpad. your vids are great. thanks dude.

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

100%!

[@sschoppert]

Another video hipped me to the fact that the point of the fretboard is that you can strum. As someone who has been vexed trying to make organic-sounding guitar parts, this is appealing

[@DoitYHWH]

I’m fully aware of Logic Remote, but learn something new because you gave such a thorough detailed overview, thank you!!!

[@RogerTRiche]

YES, this is something I've been wondering about!!!

is there a way to flip your iPhone to get at better view at the mixer? To see more of the mixer like the iPad. thanks

Wow I had no idea about this. Its actually a pretty good companion app, thanks!

[@Melodic623]

This is sick ….so much fire 🔥. Best combo in my opinion. Especially using the chord strips

[@ptkelly80]

The remote app gave me what I needed to switch over to Logic from Ableton w/ Push. Every day I’m finding more reasons why I love Logic more than Live.

[@jillianjacques4190]

yooo, im bulding a sound booth but don't ahve room to bring my mac into the booth, with this I can mount the ipad on the wall and control my recording sessions without going in and out.

[@jehadelkady5098]

Thanks nithan for this great vedio but i was wondring about which i pad you have

[@jdarg4163]

Logic remote is old lool I liked it so much I bought a 27in touchscreen just to control Mac Mini and logic like a iPad and if I'm far away from my mac then i usually use logic remote

[@hawsrulebegin7768]

That’s a cool idea. What touchscreen do you use and any problems connecting it all up?

[@jdarg4163]

@@hawsrulebegin7768 Hanns G 27in touchscreen monitor you can get them in amazon but because bought it 3 years ago back they probably have newer models available now

[@jdarg4163]

And the only thing you might need to do is buy a Acer instead of the hanns g as it works with both mac and windows inhad to buy a software called touch-base to make my touchscreen work but Acer touchscreens work out of the box as standard

Can you connect multiple ipads at once? Like one in the vocal booth, one beside the drum set, etc.?

[@tsg50647]

[@AenimusOfficial]

Nathan, do you know if there must be an actual internet connection to sync the phone to logic without plugging in your phone? I use logic for tracks during live performance and the behringer x air for in ears. My phone and Mac are always connected to the wifi that the behringer puts out so we can mix ears via Mac or iPhone but I would love to use this to start and stop the tracks so I don’t have to run to the computer to do that. Same wifi but without an internet connection, will it work?

[@fernandocardone2443]

Hi Nathan, I want to use Logic remote mainly to record my vocals inside my vocal booth with out having a noisy laptop with me. It's possible or there will be any latency among the iPad and the MacBook pro?

[@juanh1093]

This is new to me so forgive me if I ask a stupid question. Do they have a standalone Logic Pro app on the IPad? I'm trying to bring my pad with me on live gigs. I'm not going to be near computer or on the same network.

[@peterchamplin8767]

Super helpful tool tip. Thanks.

[@OscarFlores-gj1vl]

Thanks nice intel!!! What’s the name of the app .?

[@stuartwilson4754]

My problem is that it just never works. I do a lot of recording at the piano, the idea of having a remote controller is very attractive as it's a bit of a pain having laptop / audio interface on piano. A remote control would let me keep all that stuff together at other side of the room. When it works it's fine. The problem is that it always disconnects and then won't reconnect with mac. Both are on the same WiFi, and WiFi works fine on both devices, but logic remote has *never* remained linked to logic pro X for more than 5 mins. I have never been able to record a piano track with logic remote, and every recording session just turns into me messing around with ipad / mac trying to get them to connect. Works fine if you connect with a cable, but the reason I like the idea of a remote control is to reduce the number of cables hanging around. I really want a wireless remote. I've tried everything but in my experience it just won't work.

[@Naqsipsaq]

How can i scroll through the different patches to audition them? (other than using a mouse?)

[@AC-pu2eh]

Is there a way to Undo or erase a recording? I use this in my vocal booth a lot and it would be nice to not have to come out and erase the recording every-time I mess up a take.

[@RogerTRiche]

I thought I was the only Mac user with coffee stained keyboards.

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

LOL!! 👀👀

[@KellBailey]

Nathan!! Dope video! I heard you mention " I'll turn on my screen here and show you it" What software are you using to control your camera's and record yourself?

[@Rhythmandosyche]

Hi there! I was just curious where the input monitoring button is if I’m recording an audio track? Thanks

[@oig40203]

Can the iPad be set to "Sends on Faders" for headphone mix, while the main Mac is still on normal mixer, so they don't affect each other?

[@davydoomz]

Nice video but damn clean your keyboard!

[@Shekkydon]

That’s very nice

[@waynes517]

Anybody given the producer course a go?

[@christoroppolo8742]

There is a much easier way with one cable . No latency! Midi and audio works with anything on the computer! 👽🙏

[@markmanter6508]

So if I have my hardware instruments being controlled by my midi keyboard/sequencer and I load it up into a template I have saved in Logic on my computer, I can then continue to use my midi keyboard to control my hardware in Logic Remote on my iPhone? 👀 Damn I really wish I saw this video and others a few years back when Logic Remote became a thing because I’m only just now trying to integrate it into my workflow and it seems so useful (more so than I thought it would be tbh lol), especially since all my hardware instruments and midi keyboard aren’t in close reach of my desk where my computer is. Also because I have a bunch of random synth/drum machine apps on my phone and I’ve been making it way harder for myself than necessary to try and get anything from my phone into Logic Pro lol.

[@MaxCrews475]

Does this work w/ garage band

[@markmanter6508]

I’m not sure if Logic Remote can integrate into Garage Band but I know there is a separate Garage Band mobile app for iPhone/iPad that while limited to a degree, can get the job done for certain things…and I’m fairly certain that you can work in Garage Band mobile and then later send the project over to your computer to work in Logic Pro…if you have it, that is.

[@mxfxdlg]

Where is the UNDO button? Or am I the only person making mistakes? I need an UNDO button right on the transport that acknowledges being selected (via color, dimming, etc.).

[@dk60ish]

How do you use Logic score editor for actual notation in it, which is how I compose, can't find the means yet...

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

No I don't - it's really not intuitive. If you need to notate I'd recommend Finale or Sibelius

[@Bittamin]

Can I do all 3 at the same time?!?

[@JeremyChevallier]

@ 10:36 can you select which *effect* to automate, though? Mine only seems to want to use Volume. I select another in Logic Pro, then as soon as I touch the fader on my phone, it’s editing Volume automation. These videos are so much better than everything else out there man, thank you 🙏

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Fader is pretty much always gonna automate volume. When you turn latch on - you need to adjust the actual parameters for that effect. So if you want to automate EQ then you need to be using the EQ parameters on latch the automate that specific parameter - hope that makes sense!

[@SubiFoa]

So can I play kontakt in pitch mode on ipad ???

[@adrianobonil7539]

I searched through all the youtube tutorials. But nobody knows how to make the "Commands of keys" create buttons with the names of the markers, in order to change tracks only by the name of your marker.

[@pjsnijdersmusic]

Hi, thanks for the video. I was wondering, us there a way, or better, a location online where I can download an older version of logic remote? One that works with Logic Pro X 10.4.7 and High Sierra? I cannot update due to specific plugins and hardware....

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Hmmm not sure. But I kinda doubt it unfortunately :(

[@pjsnijdersmusic]

@@NathanJamesLarsen hmm.. Apple should be sued for this kinda shit. You throw away perfectly good iPads or iPhones if you can't update anymore, and same for this. Company's like Apple have way too much power, because they know that consumers buy a new device anyway, especially Apple fanboys.

[@DoitYHWH]

@@pjsnijdersmusic most apps from the App Store if you try and download them it’ll say “This version is not available” but an “Older version is” give that a try

[@pjsnijdersmusic]

@@DoitYHWH yeah, but where can I download an older version?

[@DoitYHWH]

@@pjsnijdersmusic From the App Store itself. When you download Logic Remote directly from the App Store that’s when it should notify you there’s an older version available for your version of iOS.
