Dude for some reason whenever I try and, let’s say shrink or expand a sample (like for instance there’s a drum loop and I want to take off the end beat) the pencil tool keeps fucking time stretching shit and it’s driving me nuts lol
pretty sure I never use anything except the ‘paint’ option.
Tbh FL is fine, but it just becomes a chore especially on a larger project with a lot of patterns and samples, I’ve learnt more keyboard shortcuts which helps a bit, but still.
Do you mean Logic? I don’t have an iOS device outside of my phone.

No.
There are actually a ton of good (pro or semi-pro) apps, many of them ported from the desktop versions (like RoughRider, the Eventide reverbs, etc.) that are super cool and capable. The Cubase app (called Cubasis) is pretty robust afaik; there are a bunch of other DAWs at this point as well. Many apps also have Ableton Link capability which I don’t use but understand can be a game changer for someone using Live along with a mobile device.
Problem is that there are a LOT of apps out there to wade thru and many of them suck: a few of them come really close but then don’t play well with other apps - the proliferation of 3rd party devs means that one guy’s implementation of, say, MIDI I/o is not at all on par with another dev for instance.
However, Apple has finally decided to move with cross-platform support, meaning the AU plug you buy for your Mac will also work on a mobile device and vice versa. Currently many App Store versions of AU plugs are significantly cheaper than the previous Mac-only iterations… we’ll seee how long that lasts tho. 
Other upsides are OG music devs like Bram Bos doing amaaaaazing shit and taking advantage of Touchscreen capabilities to make really playable, ‘musical’ apps.
I’m not a great example but roughly 75-80% of all my tunes [going back at least a decade] have been made on an iPhone, fwiw. I don’t advertise that and will probably wind up deleting this post lol but yeah. Like, I love Reaper but have struggled to have a PC beefy enough to do basic shit sometimes like run 5 plugs simultaneously… and p much NEVER have that issue on my iphone.
In fact, my iphone (SE g2) can handle shit my iPad Air 2 cannot, like FRMS granular synth (sounds soooo good.)
tl;dr iOS is pretty capable of cool shit on a hardware level but the ecosystem is still jank af and has been for a while. It can output “pro audio” standards if you’re willing to do a little bugshooting/experimentation to find out what works.
PS: fuuuuck Logic. It’s always been the least intuitive DAW I’ve ever touched, including PT. That’s saying something. To each their own tho.

- Stay away from the acapellas at first.
- Start with a beat.
- Make a Bassline.
- Come up with a couple minor variations for both.
- Throw snippets of vox like “Jah!” on top like icing.
- ?
- Profit.
