Stream Logic Pro to your iPhone

MixOutpost's Audio Unit sits last on Logic's Stereo Out and sends a bit-exact copy of your mix to your iPhone. Logic's output stays untouched, and you can check the mix on the phone speaker while you work.

Set it up in Logic

  1. 01

    Install the plugin

    Run the free MixOutpost installer and choose the Audio Unit. It's signed and notarized, and it installs for all users. Logic picks it up on its next plugin scan.

  2. 02

    Insert it on the Stereo Out

    In the Mixer, add MixOutpost to the last insert slot of the Stereo Out, after your limiter and metering. The source appears on the phone as Logic · Stereo Out. You can rename it if you like.

  3. 03

    Start Sharing and pair

    Press Start Sharing in the plugin window and scan its QR code with the MixOutpost app or the iPhone Camera. The pairing covers every MixOutpost instance on the Mac, so you only do it once.

  4. 04

    Tap Listen

    Play the project. It comes through on the phone and keeps playing with the screen locked.

Tips for Logic users

  • Post-fader, post-everything: the last slot on the Stereo Out hears exactly what your monitors hear, including any mastering chain.
  • Listen to a single bus: put a second instance on a bus or track, for example a vocal stem. It shows up as a separate source on the phone, and Compare can switch between the two, with click-free switching and a volume per source for matching levels.
  • Sharing stays off until you start it. Opening a project never starts sharing on its own.
  • Same port each session: each source keeps its network port, so the phone reconnects even on networks that block discovery.

What you can check from the phone

Once Logic is playing on your iPhone, you can listen in mono or side only, read loudness against streaming and broadcast targets, use a diagnostic EQ that mimics small speakers, and record a bit-exact WAV to the phone. None of it changes what Logic outputs.

Surround in Logic

On a surround bus (5.1, 7.1, 5.1.4, 7.1.2 or 7.1.4), MixOutpost sends every channel. You'll hear it spatialized on AirPods and AirPlay, or folded down to stereo on the phone speaker. See surround on AirPods.

Questions

Does MixOutpost work in Logic Pro?

Yes. Logic Pro is the host MixOutpost is verified in, on real hardware, with the Audio Unit on the Stereo Out streaming to an iPhone.

Does it work when Logic runs plugins out of process?

Yes. Logic can host Audio Units in a separate, sandboxed plugin process where Bonjour discovery isn't available. MixOutpost still shares from there, and paired phones reconnect by address.

Will it affect my bounce?

No. The plugin passes audio through unchanged, and offline bounces are skipped so the phone isn't flooded with a faster-than-real-time render.

What if my Logic project isn't 48 kHz?

MixOutpost streams at 48 kHz. 44.1, 88.2 and 96 kHz sessions are converted with high-quality sample-rate conversion, and 48 kHz sessions arrive bit-exact.
