I have recordings from a live show of my band that I want to import into Logic Pro for iPad so I can work on them. I cannot find the files on my iPad, even though I can play the songs on Apple Music. Where are they? How do I get there? Please answer in step-by-step matter for slow learner.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 17
Wait a second … you said they were recordings from a live show of your band? I assume that you got those into your iPad by first putting them into your Mac's Music library, then syncing them to the iPad using
But you could also go into Music on your Mac, drag-and-drop the songs to the Desktop, and then copy them to iCloud Drive. That might make them available to Logic Pro on your iPad.
Songs that you put into the Music library aren't visible from the Files app.
They go into a hidden area on the iPad that only the Music app – and other apps written specifically to access that library – see. Presumably there is some framework for requesting access to the Music library and apps which can access the library are not going directly to the files, but going through the framework's APIs.
If you're talking about Apple Music subscription songs, I'm not sure if the DRM on those would allow you to import them into Logic Pro for iPad, even if you first made "offline listening" copies.
I believe i sync’d them with the subscription service but it has been a while.
Where are the files located on my ipad? They aren’t in my files ap.
