There's also something to be said for multitasking desktops that give you the flexibility of both. > There’s something to be said for the mobile platforms single app as a focus model. Failing that, it's one click on my trackpad to switch channels.

And then if you want to plug in hardware, you have to either settle for one thing and no charging or buy a dongle. Having a touchscreen interface for these instruments is no better than typing on your keyboard to play notes. My instruments are velocity and aftertouch sensitive. There are laptop stands that might work too, but I already use my iPad for sheet music, so it’s already a convenient setup.Įven as a paying Bitwig subscriber, I don't get it.

I can put my iPad Pro in my existing music stand that works for me at multiple heigh levels. I’m already taking it to draw on the go, so this is just one more thing I can do without needing to buy a new device or take a heavier one.Įdit: oh and number 5 is a big one. Maybe a MacBook Air would be better, but I take my iPad Pro to more places with me than I take my much heavier MacBook Pro.

I know you can full screen a Mac app, or split screen on an iPad, but having a singular focus helps reduce distractions.Ĥ. There’s something to be said for the mobile platforms single app as a focus model. Can’t do that easily with a trackpad or mouse.ģ. Same point above, but basically being able to switch between my live instrument and an on screen virtual one is a big deal to layer up an idea.
Being able to record my live instruments and not have to switch to a trackpad to move between UI elements seems small, but it really keeps me in the zone.Ģ. Touch first is important because your instruments are touch as well. I guess I should expand why not a laptop, but it boils down to removing lots of little friction points that make ephemeral ideas harder to put down.ġ. It’s a smart way imho to get people on either side of the fence to consider the other side.

A lot may just even need to add a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.Ĭonversely, the people who do want to use it more seriously after whetting their teeth on the mobile platform, will then see the Mac as the next logical stepping point. Having more pro apps on the iPad signals to them that they can shift more of their computer life to it. I don’t see it being used for more than that level of work.īut also, as much as both the things I mentioned are very spur of the moment things, I think the real value here is having a step ladder through the ecosystem.Ī lot of people, especially youths, only need an iPad for more of their computing use. I doubt it’ll be something people use in touch mode, but I can see some folks using it for quick on the go edits for things like social media stings. Having something where I can potentially work out an idea with just my iPad, and then take it to my desktop is really exciting to me.įCPX seems neat as well. The divide from putting down an idea when it hits, to working it into something, has always been really high. (Edit: I’m a Logic Pro user on macOS so my comments reflect getting things into that specifically) But I’ve always found the workflow very limiting or clunky. The promise has been there since stuff like 8tracks on the iPhone 3G, and various Audio Units already on iOS. Having a full DAW on the go is a killer feature imho.
