Apple launched Logic Pro for the iPad in May, bringing music creators a new mobile workstation option. Last Friday, I was honored to have the opportunity to chat with the new generation musician “The Crane” about his experience and impressions of using Logic Pro. Watching Crane pick up the details of various tracks with iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, it is easy and Without losing professionalism, in my eyes as a musical Muggle, all of this is like magic. Crane played music at various stages without a professional background, but Crane has been exposed to various styles of music during his growth , he can listen to both Western and pop music, and he also plays the piano. He also played in a band in high school, which made him interested in more genres. “When I was a teenager, I wanted to do something cool and try something Unpopular things”, when playing in a group, interacting with the members, let He add more tentacles to the music. Later, He also worked as a behind-the-scenes producer of some singers or bands. He used to be a tour musician of HUSH, Also participated in the production of Zheng Yinong’s “For Uranus” album and Peng Jiahui’s “Rose Fragrance” single. It was also during this period that I learned more about musical instruments and came into contact with DAWs (Digital Audio WorkStation) such as Logic Pro, accumulating a lot of knowledge about music. I have the habit of listening to the same music, so I am interested in different styles of music. However, in the process of creation, I feel that I still need to generalize a direction so that the audience can absorb it better when listening to music, thinking: “Oh, you are a What kind of musicians?” He also said that when he first started doing R&B, the response he got was unexpected. In 2022, the first album “TALENT” will be released with R&B as the main backbone, and then integrate paragraph variations and retro elements. To achieve a mutual balance between the feedbacks of the users.” Logic Pro experience Talking about the Logic Pro experience, Crane said that he actually used Ableton Live at the beginning. From the perspective of a musician, he believes that Logic Pro It is more suitable for sing and song writers, for example: you can play guitar, Bass, or you have a strong imagination of melody. Crane also believes that the sound of Logic Pro is relatively clean and professional. With the built-in Roundtrip function, people can easily move files between Mac and iPad. At the same time, Logic Pro can also handle the final mixing details????Use Sound Packs complete the song faster???? Talking about it, Crane also further mentioned that usually when creating, for Hip-Pop, you may need some samples of beats and background music. Sound Packs in Logic Pro are just Cooperating with many professional musicians in the industry, we have brought together many different styles of “tone packs” to provide creative inspiration, and also help creators “stand on the shoulders of others”, so that you can achieve a more easily and quickly. Professional sound, complete the song faster. This is also a function that other DAWs do not have. Like Splice, you have to pay a monthly fee to find it. There is also a convenient Loops retrieval system. Next, it is the Loops function that already exists in the Mac version of Logic Pro. See a complete set of search system, and can set the instrument from it, and then further search for “which drum kits are needed”, “bright/cool/minimalist sound”, or want other styles or characteristics, you can find them in Loops is a sound source retrieval system that allows you to use the iPad Pro X Apple Pencil directly in the music. In the middle of the chat, Crane said that he actually uses the iPhone when he is composing, but the phone is mainly for voice memo. He thinks that the iPad is really good. Breaking the restrictions on creation. For example, there are several links in making music, which are actually similar to clipping and drawing. For example: sometimes a drawing board is used when creating, and an iPad is used for mixing Apple Pencil can make more detailed adjustments more intuitively, such as fine-tuning the volume of each track (but if you switch to the computer version, you have to use the mouse to drag each point In contrast, using a computer is not so straightforward, but using an iPad, you can quickly adjust some small details, the round knob at the bottom of the interface, and various audio tracks on the mixer. In fact, these things are in the It’s also not very intuitive when operating on a computer. For example, you can only adjust one track at a time, but it’s very easy to adjust on an iPad. What’s so good about the iPad? When asked what functions on the iPad are more usable and more creative and thought-provoking, Crane mentioned that when running an announcement or attending an event that day, “I just can’t sit down properly. In this situation, at this moment, I can just take out the iPad and finish what I want to do”, and I don’t have to go home to adjust the details, because there is also a mini Keyboard on the iPad Logic Pro, so that he can directly make a final , It really feels like a mobile workstation. The three places on Logic Pro that impress He are the Sound Packs mentioned just now, Automation (the part of fine-tuning the audio track with Apple Pencil), and the zoom function of the iPad. ???? Summary But in fact, the price of Logic Pro is not cheap. You can choose to pay 150 yuan per month or 1,490 yuan per year to use it. As for young creators with limited budgets, how should they choose creative resources step by step? Crane thought for a while and answered, most of the digital music production software can’t be lower than the price, but for example, Logic Pro has built-in Sound Packs and Loops can actually lower the threshold that everyone needs to have when making music. Then, it may depend on your needs (like guitarists and keyboard players will need things that are definitely not exactly the same) to upgrade the equipment , such as buying a better microphone, etc. At the end of the interview, Crane also mentioned that from the perspective of a musician, playing an instrument on a tablet is actually not that simple, but the iPad can perform it, which means This Saturday (9/2), Crane will also teach you how to use iPad Logic Pro to mix the chilliest Home Session at Today at Apple.
