This is literally all you need , the overly bloated home studio set ups are just not necessary unless your tracking a entire band which literally nobody is , these mobile touchscreen personal recording studio will be the future, software and capabilities on iPad will only keep getting better
Young man, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for making such a helpful and easy to follow video to guide me at the beginning of my home studio journey!
My setup is the iPad Air 4 with an apple pencil, Scarlett solo, mpk mini, and a nanokontrol 2 all running either Beatmaker 3 or Cubasis 3. Need Akai to step up and bring out an mpk mini with BT so I can leave a usb slot open for other stuff.
I like Logic Pro yet FL Studio seems to come with the tools I need with quick access to switching between different effects I use on drums or other tracks. I’m glad to friend someone else who’s using an iPad studio. Sick of being told I need a $1500 computer when my iPad does all I need and I can also carry it to work when I want to use headphones and further mix my songs.
I have a 9th Gen iPad (with headphone jack built in) and an iPad Air 5th Gen (M1 processor) that I use for logic pro. They both work perfectly. I ran out of RAM with a really large project once on the 9th gen iPad, but I still prefer it for portability (I think it was a bug with having a large audio file as a loop). The iPad Air runs out of battery noticeably faster. Now if they would just add full Midi learning to the iPad version of Logic Pro and the ability to edit Alchemy and Sampler instruments...
This is why the Logic Pro IPad news is so frustrating. I get inspiration to create while in reach of my iPad way more often than I am in reach of my laptop.
I am currently producing with FL Studio Mobile and what I love about it is that I could use the synthesizers of garage band put it on the wave file and then put it into FL studio or any app for that matter. and the cool thing about FL studio so you can slice up all the stuff easily so you can make a beat really fast. I really like FL studio for this purpose and I would highly recommend anyone to use it it’s not a subscription service it has a bunch of samples it’s quite easy to use. there are barely any issues I’m just a bit confused on why sometimes the audio quality seems a bit low if someone has any help on that I’d love to hear it. 😅
For midi controllers on the iPads with the lightning port, you need Apple's usb adaptor that will need to be plugged in with a charger cable to the wall. The work around for a truely portable solution is a battery powered bluetooth midi keyboard such as the Korg microkey air 25 or there is a new contender for that category called the M Vave Smk 25 which has pads and knobs. (TAETRO has a video on it)
Man that M-wave seems like it’s comes with a lot of issues gotta connect wired to even have your PC recognize it and you gotta configure all this bs to even use it on your preferred DAW idk seems like a headache to me :/
Thanks for this Bolo! Back then, I used to use the Apple camera adapter to connect my things on my iPhone. Production on the iPad is very tempting to get into! I love my Mac Mini, I’d be in the ecosystem too 😏
See now I got to catch up… This has been on my radar for a hot minute… Just another Neat way to make music! I’m all invested today in my retro and my model 12! I got my snake, so I’m running 6 to 6… That is awesome! The preamp’s ain’t like a Neve- but it sounds dope! I can’t wait to do the little iPad thing… I’m trying to not be greedy, though you know? I know it never ends, but 🙄 You got to have a good wife in this game! One that loves you and can see your vision! Praise be to Jesus
I have a iPad setup for making beats as well Bolo I use beat maker 3 as well. The only thing with beat maker 3 is the cpu when you load plugins is really low that’s why I can only use a couple plugins on it and just use samples when I make beats on Beat maker 3 which is still ok.
I use the Audient ID4 MKII. Indeed a great sounding interface. For my hub I use the CalDigit USB-C SOHO Dock Gen.2. You can use your own USB-C cables and power everything with an external adapter. It works great with my iPad Pro 12" M2
Yo Bolo ! you can use Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to save a USB port ! I do this with my M1 iPad Pro. Also I keep a folder of samples in my iCloud, so I can access it anywhere on my iPad or Mac
Do you use studio headphones for the iPad and if so what do you use? The newer ipads are without earphone jacks and alot of the adapter dont sound the same.
@@djredline25 Yep. I watch his videos and the Channel has a lot of variety and tips that don’t just apply to the iPad and Beatmaker 3. I hope to see more Logic for IPad videos.
Love your videos, you inspired me to get an ipad with beatmaker 3 and for the most part it's replaced my home studio, I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of updates for beatmaker though
Brother bolo, you are a blessing to the digital music production revolution. I need to know when you gonna put some more drum sounds out and where can I get some more since sounds because not everything works well with Bea make a three I know you’re talking about the new logic, pro audio on the iPad, but they still have to a lot of bugs I have to fix.
I’ve found almost anything that works on the computer works on the IPad. I am using the M2 12 inch and I’m using a usb strip from Walmart, Onn works great and doesn’t say anywhere it will work on IPad. I’ve upgraded big time since the beginning and am using Tascams flagship 24 channel interface, multitrack, mixer. But that Onn works great!
DUDE MAN. LIKE EVERYOTHERS, WHY CANT WE SEE A PICTURES OF ALL OF YOUR STUFF PLUGGED IN?? Some of us are probably as dumb as me, or close enough. How do we link all of these together? how does it reallly works?
Don’t upgrade yet. Wait a few years. I got the same iPad Pro as you and it’s still flawless. And I have that same AKAI keyboard for 5 years now…I’m getting Final Cut Pro to add to my collection with BM3, n-Track 9, and bunch of other plugins. I’ll comment if I come across any hiccups
I have an ipad pro 12.9 6th gen,, went to amazon for a Audient id14 and got redirecte to the id24?? The 24 has a DSP?? Is that necessary? Is the id24 worth the extra money? Also, is it compatible with my ipad? The amazon site only mentions windows. Thanks
Hey dude I got a question so I’m a rapper and I like using logic for the iPad for making beats but i’m not that great at audio engineering, I know a professional and I was wondering if it’s possible to share projects to him from logic Pro on iPad if I recorded from the iPad is it possible to share a entire project from the iPad to someone like him who uses Logic Pro x on the MacBook? Or is it not possible? And only works If I shared a project from a MacBook?
Bolo, I have a question: is there a way to connect your Roland FA06 keyboard to your iPad? Would this also allow you to use your FA as an audio interface?
I just ordered a new 2024 iPad Pro.. it seems to have a very powerful chip and better connectability. But I was wondering, does anyone know if I still need all the items in this video or can I plug directly from my Korg Kronos 2 keyboard straight in? I also ordered the upgraded power supply with two USB-C inputs. I’m leaning towards the new Apple Logic Pro 11. Any advice on this would help ..thank you.
@@boomboombaby9140 because I was trying to Install the Logic Pro X on my Mini iPad but it didn’t work. As you said BoomBoom Baby now I’m confused as well🤔
Hi , I am new on this and I have a dumb question. Can we skip the interface and just plug mpk mini to ipad? Is the interface just for mic and guiter? I bought everything(i have a yamaha interface, for mic) but no ipad and i finally got an ipad ordered. I did not get the stuff work very well on pc. I was struggling on some software license thing and it keep making no sound on my mpk keyboard. The only thing works is melodics, that i can learn how to play keyboarding. I am tring to make things a little bit simpler so i think apple will be easier. Bad thing is i never tried moden apple products. I have an ipod video only. Sorry, i tried to pick up again after my kids grow up and they finally did. So i am like living in 15 -20years ago.
What ipad apps/plugins/daws do you think best support MIDI controllers like the Akai? I have a pretty similar set up to you with the Akai MK3, but obviously its functionality is limited in GarageBand.
Technically no you don’t. It’s like owning an MPC but better. Some people can do it all in a mpc including mix. You can’t actually mix and mastering in BM3. Logic will be more desktop like with a more polished recognizable workflow. Better mixing options etc. Both can get the job done just depends on what you prefer
Man dongle after dongle 🤣🤣 bolo you know us ninjas finna have the whole board wired up to the point we might as well use our laptops 💪🏾💪🏾 jk but I been waiting on you to review and show us more of your lifestyle
Great inspiring video man That plane must’ve been rocking when you was doing the vocals This video will give a lot of inspiration all round Not sure if it’s racist having the black on black keyboard No just kidding my keyboard has black and white keys love peace and all that stuff What I wanted to say was this Would be really good to see you using the set up and how you go about creating a quick track with it That would really be a big help to lots of us Keep up the good work it would be really nice to be on a jet with you flying over the ocean as you create some cool beats
Hi, when I record a midi track using my Roland fp10, connecting it via a midi cable, the midi track gets recorded in the logicpro for iPad, however since I am using the sustain pedal on my Roland, the midi track has either too much sustain or if I reduce the sustain it becomes too little. Why doesn’t record just the way I use the sustain pedal?
Hi i have connected my Midi keyboard and audio interface to my ipad 10th Gen with a Hub but I didn’t get the output from audio interface. And there is no settings for this audio settings in iPad like Mac. How to solve this issue
Who knows what I can make a cheap Diy studio setup on a tablet or an Android cuz I'm on SSI and I don't get much money cuz I have a heart problem and I just need some help
That is a great setup! My iPad is just one generation behind to run the new Logic but am using Auria Pro with a Tascam Celesonic and it is pretty amazing. I do need more memory though....
Ok but get a usb dongle that has power in. Thatll let you power the devices and your ipad at the same time. Yall have no idea how many times my ipad's died. Also for those wondering, i personally dont use any midi controllers. I like the screen. Try out the screen first before you waste money on a controller, maybe? Also, video output to hdmi on ipad is LAME. Except for like, performance or recording stuff like Bolo here, there is literally no freakin use for it. Also, INVEST IN A MIC AND AUDIO INTERFACE. If you sing or play guitar, PLUG IN.

Yes but bluetooth devices on logic pro or garage band lag so direct power or connection is recommended

The M1 iPad air works great. Ive got one along with my M1 Pro mac

Found him the same way and been following ever since lol

My setup uses the AVIO usb to Dante 2x2 I/o adapter. I use the pad as a stomp box for DJ effects.
Are you using the Ipad 9th gen or 10th gen? Great video! All the information you provided has been really helpful
What mouse is that???? I’ve been looking for a decent trackball mouse for my studio 🤘👽🤘
Can you please make a video on how to mix vocals on Logic Pro iPad? Would be greatly appreciated 👍
I’ve used that mouse daily since 2006.😂 I keep one connected to my main Mac and one in my work bag.
Brilliant content ❤
Thanks!
Why do I need the audio interface? Can I produce Beata without the audio interface?
The 2018 and up can power your stuff
I wonder if you can hook up a live 2 or one to it to use the MPC software???🤔🤔🤔
I’ve found almost anything that works on the computer works on the IPad.

can you use a usb port also for charging the ipad while you are using it?
Beat is 🔥 💪🏾

Switch to the m2 when the newer comes out. It’ll be all you need for years
As always, great video, Bolo! I’m pretty hyped about Logic Pro coming to the iPad, but I really can’t wait for BeatMaker 4 though!
True!!!
What about synchronized iPad with a daw on a computer？

Bolo has good information, but the beats are weak
Why so dark video bro ?🙄
why show all teeth so repeatedly it annoys the listner and feel like runnin away .. no need to show white tooth sir hide them better
Hip hop/rap kicks these days just sound blown the fuck out… and NOT in a good way.
