Logic Pro for iPad review

Logic Pro for iPad is the most complete production app on the list. Apple's App Store listing describes Stem Splitter, which separates a mixed recording into drums, bass, vocals, guitar, piano and other parts on A17 Pro chips or later, plus six AI Session Players that follow your direction on synth, bass, keys, drums and percussion. Beat Breaker, Sample Alchemy, Quick Sampler, Drum Machine Designer and Step Sequencer cover beat making, and Mastering Assistant finishes the mix. The library holds over 6,300 samples, 5,700 patches and more than 12,900 loops. Apple Pencil handles precise edits and automation. Pricing changed: Logic Pro is now part of Apple Creator Studio, which Apple lists at $12.99 per month or $129 per year after a 1-month free trial, with education pricing at $2.99 per month. That bundle also includes Final Cut Pro and Pixelmator Pro. It needs iPadOS 26.0 and an A12 Bionic chip or later, so older iPads are left out.
