The reason it costs while Logic Remote is free is most likely that Garageband itself is free. Good choice to make it compatible with iPhone/iPod touch as well. The only negative part is that it requires iOS 8 and I’m not upgrading my ye olde 4S to it, so I’ll stick to TouchOSC. But the app is a boon for solo bedroom musicians. Never again shall one have to press Rec and rush to the closet/bath room to record vocals or ask mom to be a stand in engineer, “Ok mom, so when I shout press this to get back to the starting point and hit record. I want to take a few drum takes. Also, tell everyone to use the bathroom upstairs.”

I just got this and tried it out. It is very intuitive and works like a charm!

It is nice to be able to pull out the iPhone and control GB.

Well worth $3.

In reply to Sevrin.

because you can’t use logic remote on iphone
I wish this would control logic, then I’d get it
an iphone remote would be much more useful than ipad

using the faders/smart controls over wifi is pretty flakey, and the timeing on any of the keyboards/drums suck

all I really need a remote for is cueing, arming/ recording, adding a track, playback and metronome
which it looks like it does

if this works for logic I’ll probably buy it

Pretty sure the FREE Logic Pro remote works just fine with Garageband…so why pay for this?
