Supercharge Logic Pro with Your iPad & Sidecar/Universal Control

 

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the Apple ecosystem is getting more and more connected for creatives.

Between Logic Remote for iOS and the ability to hear Spatial Mixes on AirPods, it’s pretty amazing! Apple is creating a world where you can hand off your work across your devices.

And today I wanted to show off how 2 relatively new features for macOS and iPadOS could be a huge help in the studio. And that is:

• Sidecar
• Universal Control

Of course, there’s the Logic Remote app, which is hands down the best controller I’ve ever used for Logic Pro. But with Sidecar and Universal Control, the value of an iPad in the studio has skyrocketed!

Sidecar allows you to extend your Mac’s screen to a nearby iPad. Which can be a huge help when you’re running out of screen real estate.

And Universal Control is a brand new feature that allows you to take control of your iPad using your Mac’s keyboard and mouse.

Both can be handy for different reasons. So I felt like geeking out today and showing you how to take advantage of these features. Check out the video above for more.
