This is very helpful feature if you record yourself. You can record and play, set gain settings and many other things. I use mine with my plus sized iPhone - a perfect companion.

[QUOTE=FrankHudson;5549664]Pro Tools may have advantages as an in-deep audio editor, I don't know as I only edit minimally in Logic Pro.
I've mixed two CD projects on Logic and while I like some of the features, I didn't like that gain reduction devices don't show how much gain reduction you're using and we also ran into distortion during the mix downs that was probably due to internal bus overloading that was not apparent on any meters I saw. We "felt" our way through the problem and fixed it by globally reducing the level on all tracks, and limiting our plugin choices to all apple only. PITA, but we got it done properly.

This might seem a bit of an extra step but it avoids your problems and re-enforces the notion of coming to the final mix pretty fresh!

Actually using a mobile device tablet or smartphone as a remote DAW controller is possible for a number of major DAWs with a third party app called "V Control"
I use V control on my older iPad with Pro Tools. And protools also has a built in app for use with newer mobile devices

Can you clarify any about your report that "gain reduction devices don't show how much gain reduction you're using?" Sounds like key info, but I don't really understand that. As it so happens I mix in Adobe Audition 90% of the time (just because I'm familiar with it) and I tend to master from a final mix as a separate step, sometimes in the stand-alone Izotope Ozone application. Even in Ozone and mastering, I fight what I feel it's pre-sets' tendency to "make sausages" (overly compressed and constantly-hitting-the-limiter audio that looks like a stuffed sausage in waveform view). I often lament that my stuff is all self-engineered while I try to be the producer, the recording engineer, and at least one of the musicians at the same time (there are powerful reasons why these roles are usually separated in traditional professional recording practice). To the degree I can (and I can't watch the meters steadily if someone, or even myself, is changing volume during the recording) I try to keep levels low while recording (at 24 bit), moderate while mixing and only work to bring levels up during mastering. Would such a practice (low levels when recording, moderate when mixing, and only "hot" when mastering) have prevented your issues in Logic X?

Or are there other recording advantages? I have a MB Pro with an audio interface for recording. That's the only way I can connect quality mics, which is why I don't use either my iPad or iPhone, other than for quick little doodles where audio fidelity doesn't matter. I don't have Logic, but was thinking about getting it for Christmas. Thanks in advance for more info on your above point!

For example what I do is get the session all set up and ready start recording on my Mac Pro tower that sits under the left side of my recording/mixing desk. Then with the app on my iPad I can sit for guitar or stand for vocals , at my recording position, which is about 6 feet away from the computer and put the iPad on my music stand and just the use the app to trigger record / stop/ play and undo functions on the app, and do not have keep going to the computer . When I am done I then go to the computer to mix on

That does indeed make it more convenient. And a lot less cluttered around the recording area, which can get out of hand sometimes and make the process a lot more cumbersome than it should. Pretty nifty!

I switched to Apple (from Linux) because of the photosoftware, Aperture. Then after couple years they dropped the software (there are no major upgrades anymore, although it still runs). Who says they won’t drop Logic?

Supposedly the Photos app in High Sierra is much more extensive in editing, but since the file system is different than Sierra and earlier, Aperture may not even run on HS ????

And regardless of software and software mortality, one could run the old software on an older computer with an older version of the operating system indefinitely, or until the hardware dies and is not easily repairable.
