I was not trying to be pedantic. I just think the article title is misleading. It should say "Apple Introduces Logic Pro for iPad 2..."
Got a tip for us?

Apple Introduces Logic Pro 2 With New AI Features

Oy, MacRumors should probably use that instead of…
Because the iPad version is most decidedly not $200 for new users. Well, I mean in 4 years, yeah, but not all up front.
AI is a stretch. But at least we can continue to drive talented people further away from success and let people with no talent compose music to sell.
I dont know. I’m not a Pro, but I struggle more with giving “Drummer” instructions and directions on how the groove should be than I would if it was a real session drummer. The real pro’s in that category will just nail it in take 1 or 2. A less pro will need a few more.Or AI can help pros to work faster and more efficiently
But of course if the “pro’s” you’re talking about just need some basic drums and don’t care about the details I guess it’s fine.
Looking forward to hear what the bass and keyboard “players” can offer.
Stem splitter and ChromaGlow are for Apple silicon Mac’s only apparently.
Sometimes it seems like these apps are more tailored towards YouTubers making videos showing their viewers what the apps can do, rather than making actual content like real music and movies.

As an aspiring "pro", practicing the drums and guitar help me work faster and more efficiently. So does working with math problems. I don't need AI to make my brain lazy.Or AI can help pros to work faster and more efficiently
No need to get lazy - get more creative! Seriously - work better and faster - very happy with AI
That only works if you have a real drummer on hand. I can talk to all the drummers in this room and not get anything. If I want to start putting a track down, I can get a lot done using that fake drummer until the real one shows up. It may just be a workflow thing, but I will take Kyle over a click track all day long and then some.
If you just want the idea so you can show someone, it is a world better than nothing.
Don’t get me wrong. I use Logics drummer on most projects because there aren’t any real drummers available. But it lacks ways of giving it more instructions and change details. It’s too simplistic. I used jamstix back in my PC days and back in 2006-ish version 1 totally outperformed today’s LP Drummer. But jamstix has very poor support/compatibility for Mac.
I would keep a good distance from the term “AI” too, as it is now equivalent to “LLM-based chatbots”… which is not a really good example of AI anyway, at least not one with any real utility.
Yea, just imagine morons dialing parameters in to create songs, without understanding a thing about music.
We should be praising technology that allow humans to spend less time on chores and have more time for the good things in life, like making art. But then, technologies enable people, that are otherwise unable to make art, to make it… and leaves us wit everything that makes us into tools.
And some people like this…
AI is here to stay… You can use it or choose not too… for me I need singers… to complete my songs - a pain spot for me…
I’ve waited for a singer for an entire year before they decided it was time to work…
I can’t afford $350 on up to hire a singer PER song….
With AI I’ve completed 30 songs that have been languishing in my hard drive
AI - to me - is wonderful
I don't care for AI Drummer and Bass player, as I can do that myself, thank you very much.
However, the Stem Splitter function could potentially be huge.
How many times I wish I could better mix a live stereo take. If this can help me doing that I'd be a very happy man.

There have been many songs that did well on the charts with presets, even as far as utilizing little more than a rhythm that came built into some hardware. AI is similar to this, to me.
So, is today the May 13th that we’re supposed to be able to give it a try?

It’s out now. Reading the description, it reminds me of the old Music Memos (no longer on the App Store), which also had the ability to add accompaniment to your recorded audio. It also had a flexible tempo, as you played faster or slower, the instruments kept up.
And, if the stems technology is anything like what we hear live on Apple Music when vocals are removed, I’ve gotta think that an offline process has to provide even better results, right?
