No.
No, but beginning to think I should
No, but am planning on using the PC with iPad -- will be for both audio and midi.
I use my iPad with an MPC, and my answer would be the middle 2 options. I am mainly using my iPad currently as a sound module for synths, drums, and samplers, as well as an effects processor for incoming audio from my MPC or SH-32.
No, I started to use iPad with BeatStep Pro, as a slave...recent acquisition :-)
Yes, yes, yes and more, use both in sound design and music creation, individually and connected via wireless if possible or wired if needed.
Sold ableton last month and hopefully the rest of my plugins soon. Been using just my iPad and it's a much better solution for me
Have used iPad as midi controller, and a source of audio and midi stems for further play in pc. Come to think of it, that's how I use my iPhone with my iPad...
Most of what Im doing happens on iPad...though this is currently in flux, as my pc just turned into a tablet too
I use my iOS device to create the basic audio tracks, and then I export my audio tracks to Reaper for final mixing. I didn't see an option above for that. :-)
A control surface for Cubase using IC Pro and a multi-timbal sound source, sequenced from MIDI tracks inside Cubase. MIDI clock sent from Cubase to mitigate the usual iOS MIDI sync challenges. Audio from HW synths routed to iPad, from the Aux sends on the HW mixer, through iTrack dock to pick up iOS fx before being mixed with the iOS synths and taken back into Cubase as a stereo mix and then mixed ITB with the individual HW audio tracks from the HW mixer and various VST instruments.
Primarly as midi slave at the moment cause connecting the iPad via iconnectmidi is the most straightforward way i have of connecting the iPad to my DAW.
No. I make iPad music using only the iPad. No sample imports, loop packs.. Just iPad generated electronic music. I love the challenge.
I do use Reason and Cubase (I make Reason refills) on a PC also but don't use these to enhance my iPad trax, in fact it works the other way round. I make a lot of sounds, drum hits and loops on the iPad for import to Reason or Cubase.
Not until I get my i7-32gb Ram-ssd machine built can I sync iPad to PC.!
In the position to have an iPad instead of an iPhone, the answer would be iPad only.
Yes. Too many good MIDI controllers out there not to.
IPads make all the sounds here, Mac for quadrophonic routing and videotriggering.
Answered, but none of the questions quite fit as far as I understand them. I use my iPad as a: scratchpad, noise lab, live instrument, fx pedal, and most recently a sequencer for modular gear - all ultimately with the audio ending up in a desktop DAW.
I'd like to, but Apple has made it a less than easy experience.
I use Music IO from Logic X to the iPad and back, use the iPad and iPhone as a midi controller, and an iPad as a Logic Remote.
Since Apple has added inter device audio, I use my Mac more often with ipad.
My iPad is my studio, my iMac is for catching up on the Audiobus Forum
Submitted top button, but I use it for some full trax and then press play into usb device into mac. Sometimes just synth too
"as a MIDI slave" Does this mean the iPad is just a MIDI controller? If so, yes, thats the only time I use it with a Mac. Logic Remote for Mainstage - with Alchemy
this more or less fits my use of the iPad as well. I also started to use the iPad as a sequencer and modulator for my modular system recently. I might only add the usage of the iPad as an oscilloscope, but that's just a detail of minor importance.
The only way I've been able to integrate the iPad is in tandem with a computer; great success using Studiomux.
On the other hand, I've tried on and off to get everything playing together under the iOS hood and each time has proven an exercise in frustration. At this point I doubt I'll bother with another attempt.
I am always using my iPad with at least the remote app when I am using Logic Pro X on my MBP. I find this much easier for me than the transport buttons on my keyboards and such. I am planning on building some iPad MIDI controllers (MIDI Designer or TouchOSC) for my Alchemy and Nave Synths in LPX.
I also think of my iPad as a touch instrument much of the time, iFretless, Capo, ThumbJam, ChordPloyPad, even the instruments in LPX Remote are instruments not available on a MBP.
There are over 100 sound sources on my iPad that can be fed into LPX on my MacBook Pro as well. 65+ synths, organs, keyboards like Neo Soul keys and such. Cost ~$500 spread over several years, mostly on sale, on my iPad; would be $10k+ on my MBP.
The above is the reason I got a ConnectAudio4+, which I love, to connect them together.
I probably use the MBP or the iPad by themselves anout the same as I use them together. The iPad is better for some things and LPX on the MBP is better for others. Two totally different animals IMNSHO.
^ currently has about 20 votes (56*0.3571). I do not understand what it means and I'm wondering how people who ticked it interpreted it.
Primarily to audio or sequened MIDI data?
I ticked it,, since my iPads are making the sounds being routed into Logic, while there's also midi routing going back and forth (Mac/Pads) (thus this my interpretation...). Cheers, t

Option 1 and 2. Best of both worlds.
Everything starts on iPad and somehow ends in the Mac.
