What Did Apple Just Do?

[@MarySpender]

I got to collaborate with Apple and have early access to these apps to bring you this video. Not sponsored but yes, I'm a total Apple fangirl. Watch my *daily vlog* on Patreon - for $5 a month! www.patreon.com/maryspender

[@jonkerrmusic]

I knew I was picking the right platform to record and make videos; this is good inspiration to keep poking away at it. Great work, Mary!

[@TroyNaumu808]

I dont have apple other than two or three archaic Ipad v3. I have 2 lovely Android tablet 😊

[@TheDrunkenScoundrel]

They should be paying you. I usually have no interest in most of this stuff because nobody makes them seem easily usable. This was better than most tutorials I have seen for most products.

[@jasonmarchant1607]

Mary - my daughter and I watched this video (and many before it) and one of the reasons I like to watch your work with her is because I think you're a fantastic role model. Through you videos - you allow her to see what is possible artistically, technologically and independently! So a shout out to you!

[@DavidFell]

This may be the most useful video about new products that I’ve ever seen. What a joy to watch a creative artist fully explore new tools and share such detail about the process. Really, REALLY well done, Mary!

[@FevkaladeSohbetler]

Teşekkürler.

[@stevew9749]

Mary, you are incredibly talented and gifted woman. Its an amazing gift to me to watch you grow in the music world. Instead of hearing what we can't do, you demonstrate consistently what we can do. Thank you for being you.

[@jimini2419]

Mary, you’re in danger of sounding like a naive Apple ‘Shill’. I am unsubscribing.

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Mary, I am so jealous of the time we live in now. I grew up in the 60's&70's when rock and roll were the mainstays. I played the guitar for about 3 years when I broke my left wrist while showing off as teenage boys do. I never played again because of that injury. I miss it so. Now I watch and listen to you and dream of what might have been. You truly live in a different time. The tools you have are truly unique and wonderful. Then add in the genius of your music. WOW!!!!! Thank you for sharing this video, Mary. Felix

[@tomstech-gear-gadgetreview5827]

Thanks!

[@KerryLiv]

Oddly, I've never owned a tablet yet. That is about to change since watching your video, Mary. Thanks

[@jsyarto04]

Very inspiring video!! I love the Volt 276 interface!

[@aerialcombat]

This is the best review of each of these apps as well as another beautiful contribution of music and art, thank you

[@anatomicallymodernhuman5175]

As someone who grew up on tape machines when digital was in its infancy and incapable of hard disc recording, I can tell you that this is what we always wanted. It’s why the cassette multitrack machines sold (I still have several in a closet upstairs). I wish I were young enough to adapt to these new apps as quickly as you are. That said, I agree that iPad Pro is hands down the best tool on a plane. My app of choice is Presonus Notion because I’m an orchestral guy these days. My guitars sit neglected in the corner, fellow victims of arthritis. You’re absolutely right that you can get away with using an iPad on a plane when everyone else is chafing as their laptops lie under the seat in front of them. I find it hard to get inspired on a plane where you’re oxygen-deprived and not altogether comfortable. But I have learned to save the busy work for those times. Once an orchestral idea is sketched, fleshing out the parts is more or less perfunctory. Kudos to Apple for the iPad Pro and AirPods Max!

[@PaulSinnema]

Now you tell me, I just finished my home studio. Just kidding. I love my studio and I still have to learn a lot and this gave some new insights. Thank you Mary.

[@Yhuntermusic]

I thoroughly enjoyed this!

[@suitestheband]

iPad is so quiet its great to record things like vocals and acoustic guitars. you can also take it anywhere to find those awesome sounding spaces!

[@henrikpetersson3463]

To be fair, the M1 and M2 MacBooks are super quiet as well. I often have my M1 Pro beside me when recording and you can never hear it in the microphone.

[@suitestheband]

@@henrikpetersson3463 also true. Same technology. Apple hardware is really high tech compared to HP and The like

[@sociopathicnarcissist8810]

I'm neither an Artist or a Musician, but this video was captivating. This is an extraordinarily well put together story of a creators journey with new technology to a new level of mastery of her craft. This video seriously puts the content that big tech companies produce to shame. I'm an IT guy that buys big ticket software for companies and you Mary, do a much better job than they do of presenting a new product.

Very cool 😎👏👏👏succinct and clear and honest and most important engaging ….great video 🥂

[@mattw.6726]

That's some really interesting tech. I'm a PC guy generally, but I appreciate the hell out of what Logic and Apple seems to have done with the iPad version of these programs. The touchscreen/stylus interface just seems really intuitive and easy. Of course, it also goes without saying that this was also an awesome peek behind the curtain of your song and video creation process. Great stuff!

[@rayschoch5882]

An Apple fan since my first Mac in 1990, I'll never be a customer for this software, but I remain an Apple enthusiast. Very interesting video, Mary, to show the "under the surface" construction of music and video. Nicely done.

[@paulnapier2636]

Agree completely... I'm also a mac person from the 90's, and this is inspiring. Well done Mary.

[@leonardallen7380]

Mary is such a total Apple swinging fangirl, wait until you see the new Show Mary is in, it's so funny and worth the watch.

[@exonorated5092]

Wow, splendid video. You really showed your dual skills for both apps; by far the best showcase for the new pro apps on Ipad.

[@magic_hotel]

Speechless. Just wow! Impressive in every way.

[@Mando_BLaB]

Wow Mary this was so good! Apple should have you showcase their products you have always been so good at it.

[@badGamr]

Here is what Apple just did: They implemented a subscription model like Adobe uses. While I do not use FCPX (I am a Resolve user) I do use Logic. If they roll this model forward to their pro-apps then I will be done with them. I moved to Resolve from Premiere for just this reason.

[@CatholicTraditional]

Big tech has done this…even MS Office (Word, Excel, & PowerPoint) are now subscription based.

[@badGamr]

@@CatholicTraditional Exactly why I do not use them.

[@CatholicTraditional]

@@badGamr Only good news is that Apple equivalents (Pages, Numbers, & Keynote) are free with macOS and iPadOS. Have been using them the last couple of years, and are very similar.

[@Reindeer-ry2lf]

Wohaa now that's a ton of stuff, coolest thing ever. Takes me from making a disco light show with a Sinclair XL1000 running software on cassette tape player. To a power house of tablets and cellphones what a crazy journey. Thank you again for your persistent support and efforts you put into this keep the 📶 going strong 💪 🇺🇸😎

[@FaanaMusic]

I love this video, this deeply resonates with what I'm trying to encourage and inspire people towards. Tools for making music have never been more accessible! Great video, thank you!

[@TeagueChrystie]

If you're above a certain age, imagine it's 2007 and you're being shown a sci-fi pitch video for a non-existent future technology. This is the coolest thing I've ever seen.

[@michaeltiefenbeck]

thank you, that was really interesting, I wondered how they would set up Logic. But that looked pretty useful.

[@sjazzp]

Simply amazing talent and creativity! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩

[@jjptech]

There is like a MILLION Final Cut or Logic Pro videos… This is the only one I decided to watch, not only including both at the sam time, but I am 200% sure that this is kept realistic, profesional and charmingly simple

[@Daphoid]

Good stuff; Nice to see more feature filled apps coming to iPad! Great work on the video as well - with your usual story telling vibe. I like it! Though I'll say - some of these features aren't new to IOS; but just in Logic. The keyboard/scale stuff for example has been in Garageband for years on iOS. Now it's just in a more robust home to be utilized better. But just want to remind folks that Garageband is there and not as horrid as some may assume :)

[@arceneaux777]

Wow - thank you for this -

[@TeddyLeppard]

Fantastic update for iPad by Apple. I'm very impressed.

[@gregsimpson621]

Thanks for all the information you provided. I will need to watch your video a few more times in order to assimilate everything you touched on. I'm extremely impressed but also frustrated (at myself) for falling behind all of these technology developments. But you do a fantastic job on your presentation!!

[@Sebastianandthedeepbluemusic]

[@DatDudeDullah]

FABULOUS VIDEO!!!

[@JoshMobleyMusic]

This is hands down the best video I’ve watched about Logic Pro on the iPad.

[@OtRatsaphong]

Best Intro/Review of Logic Pro & Final Cut Pro for iPad I've seen in recent days. Mary, you have really come into your own recently. You walk your talk! You've inspired me make better use of my iPad. Thanks!

[@SlamNFunc]

Thank you Mary for putting together such an amazingly well done video that shows us just how much heart and soul these new tools are going to let us express.

[@torrente1975]

Certainly all the things you point out are true, and convenience is the name of the game. But what about living with dongles all the time? Or the big elephant in the room here, I’m talking of file management. And the cost in subscription plans on for this and the new apps, and of course the rest of the pluggings. Basically it’s a way for us to buy a new workstation again but with the promise that once can “used on the go”.

[@asirus]

So happy to have come across your video, a creative's perspective on both apps on iPad is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@robertwarner9951]

Well done! Thank you

[@PoppaRoc-np3er]

Always keep it on record ready

[@transformingstep]

This is so inspiring, especially the intro and outro. Really, there's no excuse any more.

[@theRayzz]

All good. I get your point. The only downside of all of this is in its root, you are renting the tools. Monthly fees is another scam from Apple. I have my 1000$ MacBook Air with my 200$ Logic Pro I bought in 2011 which I use in remote with my 300$ iPad 10. It’s not exactly the same setup but at least, I own it and it’s a major point. I will completely ditch Apple and move forward to competition if they go down this subscription road.

[@titorock21]

Same here. I still own my early 2011 Mac Pro. Thing runs like a beast , got 16gb Ram and upgrading now to An ssd drive. I run both Logic Pro and garage band to get my music projects out. Although we don’t want to miss her point of view which I resonate much with. I, like her travel a lot. I get my biggest ideas for content , music and writing while traveling or on the go. Once in a while love to see I’m not the only one going down this path. I appreciate reading your comment.

[@philipshaw5699]

You inspire us to take advantage of the evolving technology available to us. You’re fun to watch, and very educational at the same time. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.

[@PhillipArthurSimmons]

Forgetting for a moment that this film was about a piece of music technology, the opening monologue alone was just so nice.

[@polygonalmasonary]

Next: ‘The app where you just press the create button, it does everything else, then spits out a finished song without you doing ANYTHING at all?’ I have a photo of me and my band mates in a recording studio in 1979, making music today does not replace the feeling of camaraderie or the rush of crowding round a mixing desk listening to the results of your work. I really miss analogue music making 😢😢😢

[@fasttwitchmedia149]

You have such tremendous chops. So creative and focused. I know passion when I see it! Bravo!

[@karmadave]

Pretty sweet! Nice video explaining the advantages of having these apps on an iPad!

[@leftwrite]

Extremely informative but left me with important questions. What is the storage capacity of the iPad? Video and audio take a lot of storage capacity. What was your workflow to store/transfer your projects as they became completed? Thanks in advance.

It would be very interesting listening to you comparing Final Cut Pro with Garage Band. What is the main reason stepping up to FCP when Garage does a really good work already?. We have made a lot of songs on G.B and thinks it sounds pretty well. Thanks a lot for you sharing videos!

My iPad has been my recording platform for years, ever since Auria Pro was released. That with AUM, a few plugins, and a decent interface (I have an Audient iD4), it's not only an incredible recording platform but also a formidable synth and sampler with the addition of a few choice apps and a midi controller.

[@LynnDavidNewton]

This is a very persuasive demonstration. I'm a Mac user and have Logic Pro, but my tablet and phone are Android. (Samsung, both good ones.) Now I'm going to have to think seriously about maybe changing tablets when the time comes.

[@tobleroni]

Inspiring stuff 😊 I’ve got the iPad, I just need to learn how to sing and play 🤦‍♂️

[@ModernArtProductions]

I‘ve been very sceptical on Logic for iPad as I am using it on my MacBook with a ton of third party plugins. But now that I‘ve seen you working that intuitively with it it’s really impressing!

[@marciobarroso]

I have been using my Ipad pro 12 for a long time as my main pedal board. Using a iRig bluetoothe pedal, I just need bring the guitar, cables and the ipad to every where ... I am using Positive Grid Bias Pro and sounds perfect =)

[@lj5899]

Fabulous! Mary, did you have to purchase licenses for LP and FCP in addition to the ones you use at home or is this the iPad app cost (if you mentioned this and I missed it apologies, I don't multitask that well). BTW, this video confirms my previous belief, you are the most talented, adorable, tech-GEEK ever! Thanks for the great content!

[@davidschumaker8107]

As I watched the video, I couldn't help comparing Mary to another favorite Mary of mine, Mary Chapin Carpenter. The black and white scenes reminded me of her "Passionate Kisses" video. Maybe it's just me.

[@peterthomas22]

Well done for understanding and effectively using that Apple technology.

[@therealpbristow]

One of my big bugbears with any modern computing products I use is when they suddenly stop responding, or slow right down, even if it's a momentary glitch. With any kind of rhythmical or timing sensitive activity (music, video, gaming, whatever) it can totally mess things up. How are these new products in terms of contuing to work smoothly over time? How do they compare with previous products, in that regard? Can you trust that touch-sensitivity, for example, to stay consistent throughout a whole song, or might a momentary pause of the processor cause it to miscalculate the velocity and throw areally loud note into the middle of a soft passage of music? Would love to hear your experiences of such things Mary, good and bad.

[@tayloriginals999]

The newest technology has democratized the music biz. All of that was impossible not that long ago, now everyone has access to it so anyone with talent can make it and not have to rely on so much luck with record labels and talent scouts and what not. It's revolutionary really. I am not a musician, but music is LIFE to me so this is really cool to see! Great video!

[@fasemusicx]

I love this video ❤

[@BlackBearSixTV]

Very much agree with you on this matter.... well done vid.

[@ramblinactivist]

You're temping me to make a video on how I produce -- which in terms of equipment quality, price, and content is the polar opposite of your exquisite videos.

[@RichardSmallwood-du9qb]

Hey Mary, this may sound 'trite' but I've realised that as well as enjoying your music and your information, there's something more profound for me in watching and listening to you! I was talking to my elder brother John and I sent him some of your YT channel, he said that you reminded him of someone close, our mother! Although she wasn't a singer or musician as such, her talking voice was very similar to yours and she was the most intelligent person I knew! She strted life in Oxford, so had a very pure Oxford (Queen's English) accent. As well as bringing up all 5 of her children (and a wayward husband) she was a teacher and respected by everyone who knew her, except those of extreme Right Wing tendancies. We all loved her very much. Her side of the family was steeped in music, with her (our)great, great, great Grandfather being the composer/virtuoso violinist of the mid 1800s Ferdinand David, lifetime friend of Felix Mendellsohn, The current generation are all musical to some extent, but not active, although I wish I was!! ~Richard

Hello Mary, you are awesome

[@macsarcule]

well, dangit, Mary! This was pretty compelling. I'm about to attempt a bit better recording than i've been doing soon and want a little more than garageband can give me. I was trying to figure out what daw works with what mixer physical interface, because i want that simple slider experience instead of mousing sliders around. I've got a macbook and ipad pro, so i wasn't sure iPad was going to be a truly useful option. When i saw you with fingers on the sliders, that pretty much nailed it for me. Fellow apple fan here too :)

[@tgrimes175]

This is the inspiring type of videos I love to see. This video is a perfect promotion of independent musicians, and what they are capable of doing. This is the reason why independent music and musicians are the way to go. Record companies are literally no longer needed to be a successful musician. This is the type of videos that inspire me, and I love to see.

[@tomstech-gear-gadgetreview5827]

Mary, phenomenal song and video and all done on an iPad. Game changing technology. Hopefully MainStage comes to iPad and changes the live game.

[@LeBoun64]

Could be a promotion video for Apple, but it shows as well how versatile your are as an artist. Congrats

[@alecsbuga]

I just love the song! The video is lovely too and yes I agree, Apple have kicked it out of the park for a V1. I look forward to see what the future will bring. I've read a lot of comments "Oh, but it's not 1:1 with Logic on Mac, it doesn't do this or that". Bruh! It's freaking Logic on the iPad. A shit ton of what I usually use is already there: synths, samplers, loops, etc.

Subscription based software guarantees that software will be refined and upgraded. Each version cost almost as much as the original version. Yet, singers want to be paid every time a person hears the song instead of just being paid for the time writing and recording the song.

I have seen a couple of videos about Logic Pro coming to iPad, but they didn’t cover as many features as you have. I believe they said you don’t buy the program, you pay a monthly or annual fee that includes all updates. I guess that’s a smarter deal if you are a pro, maybe not so much for casual users.
