Today Apple announced they are bringing high-end editing software—Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro—to the iPad, allowing music creators and video editors to utilize the hardware for on-the-go creativity. With all-new touch interfaces and a powerful set of tools, consumers will now be able to “record, edit, finish, and share, all from one portable device.”
