Hey Reader, Apple’s Creator Studio announcement made a lot of noise this week, but it also quietly came with info on some big updates for Logic Pro on Mac and iPad. I put together a video breaking down exactly what’s new, what actually matters, what it means if you use Logic day to day and why now might be the time for GarageBand users to dip their toes into Apple's more pro DAW. You can watch it here: Huge Logic Pro Update Incoming (Mac & iPad)​ The response to this one has been pretty wild already, which tells me a lot of Logic and GarageBand users were waiting for someone to cut through the noise and spell this stuff out. If you’re using Logic or GarageBand on Mac, iPad, or both, this update is worth understanding properly. Let me know what you think once you’ve watched it, and which new feature you’re most curious about.

For example, I think a lot of home studio musicians are buying far more computer than they'll ever use. And I think many beginners would get better results spending less on their Mac and...
Hey Reader, Two new videos for you this week. First up: Open-back vs closed-back headphones. If you’re recording, mixing, or just trying to work out what you actually need, this one clears it up. I break down: When to use closed-back headphones and why they matter for recording Where open-back headphones really make a difference The common mistakes that can throw your mixes off What to do if you can only access one pair If you’ve ever finished a track and it sounds completely different...
Hey Reader, For years, if you wanted to make serious music on iPad, the answer was simple: Get the iPad Pro. But after testing the new M4 iPad Air this week… I’m not so sure anymore. I’ve been putting it through the usual stress test: Logic Pro projects AUv3 plugins bigger, more complex sessions And it’s getting very, very close to iPad Pro territory. Close enough that I think a lot of people are overpaying. I break it all down in this video, including a proper performance test and where the...
