Why is everyone using Bitwig on Surface as a benchmark against the Pro? Surface can do Cubase Pro 8, FL Studio 12, & Ableton Live 9.5 Suite, Reaper(& more)....... Pro cannot. iPads have a baby note book version of software( that's why it's cheaper). Apple need to make iPad version of a Mac to blow Microsoft out of the game. Macs can run Logic,Full GarageBand, Cubase Pro 8, Ableton Live. (Maybe FL Studio 12?)Macs can use better AU units. Then if this happens, then no more, " Any Thing Yours Can Do, Mine Can Do Better!!!!!.............
Yeah... no. Apple doesn't have to do anything. Microsoft has to prove that their one device for everything vision works. Apple makes 94% of the profits in the mobile sector. The mobile sector outperforms Desktop stuff 5:1 And Apple also has one of the most successful Desktop/Notebook lines with the highest profit margins.
Microsoft has been a dead man walking. A very rich dead man, but still mostly a zombie. Their office business still kind of makes them a lot money but it's under pressure by almost every other major player.
You're drinking the kool aid if you believe that It's the other way around. Also, I personally think the one-platform-fits-all strategy of Windows 10 is flawed, because developers are forced to optimize for everything. Which means they can't focus. Which leads to compromises in design. And compromises are usually bad. Therefore Apple will never make multitouch OS X or mix iOS with it.
If they're smart that is.
Think I'll schedule this all for an informal review at the 2020 AGM Captain...see where we're at etc.
Some stuff in iOS is actually much better than on OS X, multi language support, accessibility ... 5 years down the line - OS X what was that again? I just hope they continue to do things differently on iPads compared to the phone ...
a virtual keyboard with haptic feedback would be very nice hopefully next year?!? Until next year someone will have come up with a host that just works and that doesn't follow the boring timeline what Microsoft is doing isn't sexy ... And won't lead to more applications made for touch, If you tread touch just like an afterthought to the UI I am not interested.
Sebastian basically already said it but I can't help myself: You have it backwards. The Surface is Microsoft's (continually losing) attempt to blow Apple out of "the game". Microsoft is not currently in the game. I mean, they're sort of grandfathered into the starting line up but as far as adoption (and profit) goes they're really just a bystander. I'm glad they're refusing to watch tv and pretend to enjoy fishing with their grandkid though.
From where I sit, the newest Surface looks like the business—or at least an earnest path towards said business. It's a beautiful machine and it's priced like someone who makes hardware for a living (vs doing everything in their power to bottom out hardware makers... their strategy since 95). But still, it's about software. Sure, you can use your mouse and faff around with touch to run ableton but you'd be throwing money out the window! Just get a good windows laptop for half the price and get on with it.
If you actually think that the iPad is nothing but a piece of expensive glass in between users and "baby" versions of software, how do you reconcile all of the sales? How do you reconcile the community of users that's been built right here on this forum? Are we all marks, endlessly duped by the Apple machine?
I agree with @Sebastian but one of the most dissapointing things on the iPad Pro is the current iOS itself and that (beside the pencil) it can´t do more than the other idevices. They don´t have to merge iOS and OSX but they could let me run OSX and iOS on one and the same device. IOS could work inside a window and interact with OSX or whatever.
They give us year for year little snippets of upgrades because they know crowd will buy it.
I agree that the touch experience is great on iOS devices but they slow the evolution so much down. It´s also true that developers on iOS focus more on touch because it only works with touch (beside i still don´t understand why we see so many knobs since sliders are the way to go for a touch device).
Bitwig makes a great experience since you can switch the UI and layout from touch to desktop, one or two monitors etc.
Of course one man developers on iOS couldn´t do that all without time and manpower.
However iOS have to grow to a more full OS from year to year.
At the end no one of the big companies put their focus on the music market since it´s just a niche! Especially on iOS!
I would say yes and no to this!
We will see in time to come. But hey guys, I have dumped all my pennies into the iPad like everyone else. It's a great tablet. But I do think Microsoft will do better in the end(maybe in 2 or 3 years time) But, I will not buy the Surface, because for that amount of money I could get a Desktop, or Lappie, with top of the range specs. But Live for now, & enjoy the things we have at the moment. Tomorrow's another day. :-)
Why do you think they will do 'better in the end' if you're not even willing to buy their current products?
Ha i love it!
I'm not willing to buy an iPad pro now too. iTs a version 1 apple product ...
I had an ipad1 so I won't buy apples version 1 things again. Not that it was bad, or didn't do as advertised, but it was the first product that fell of the wagon with no software updates ...
The version 2 is always much better.
see iPad 1 vs iPad 2 or iPad mini vs mini 2 ... you get the pattern
how about an audio midi setup manager for iOS 10? There is plenty of room for improvements for better pro user experience ... 24/96 ...
Calmly (and well) put.
Bought the 13 year old a touch screen laptop last year but he then quickly decided he needed an Alienware bigger/gamer/stronger machine and so I have inherited the former. It's pretty good and has ruined me even further for the mouse, but I'm still only using my fingers to open and close VLC with...
I've chosen Apples iPad to make music on the go. If I need more powerful editing, I need a Windows based machine. Sorry if I offended any readers here, but it's a case case of wait & see?.... This debate with the two companies will go on & on.
I know this is a simplistic view BUT I'm just loving the fact that I can run my entire studio (which 20 years ago took up a whole room, was noisy, and cost me a lot on my electricity bill) on something that I can carry around, turn on and off in an instant, and use on the bus/train, or in the car while waiting for the missus to finish her clothes shopping.
Personally I don't care who makes it, just that it is possible. Without the fight between hardware/software manufacturers for our cash it probably wouldn't be
@AndyPlankton "....or in the car while waiting for the missus to finish her clothes shopping."
Wisdom from the mouth of husbands.
haha...this is usually after I just bought an app...."Do you want any new clothes dear ? Cause there's this new app i want."
anyone?
@studs1966
No offense taken, or should I be apologizing.
Not at all. ;-)
The sort of "OS X" stuff I'm hoping for in iOS is like this. I don't need, or really even want, to run OS X on an iPad. USB ports, some central sandboxed file management and centralized peripheral management.
Real world test for touch future, desktop plugin developers - iOS or Windows.
Say what now?
Not sure if that future is so good Only time will tell. But also a reason i stopped byuing iOS apps. In a worst case cenario i can resell all my plug-in licences (beside Logic) while i´m stuck with all my iOS apps. Still 2 diffrent world with good and bad sides.

In the case of Windows what is needed is that existing plugs be optimized for touch. There are already more "apps", what we called software before, i.e. plugins and DAWs for Windows than any other OS. But an update for touch in a few cases would be nice. Not needed when inside Bitwig (Bitwigs touch control scheme supplants the plugs own) but MTS needs love here, it runs either touch optimized for plugs or its own gui- not yet both.
.
Just saw question 3, of the OP.
Is Apple "guilty of planned obsolescence?".
Planned or built in? The engine in which soft update drives hard upgrade is pretty obvious and Apple folks are not idiots so, ok, maybe not "planned" but "arrived upon", capital and markets being what they are.
And is guilty the word? Only if you see Apple as a person, or a movement or an ethos, rather than a corporation that's moving units, mostly downloads and phones
I just came across a great hands on review about making music with the iPad Pro.He talks about the speed and how improved apps like Cubasis are on the large screen. Take a look:

I still wait if someone can really confirm from a real usage that the headphone jack output is the same like on an iPad Air or is there a proper preamp or whatever included. I ask me if i would need an additional headphone preamp or audiointerface. Someone must know?!?
I love the combi of a Windows Desktop Pc and the Ipad. I like to use NI Maschine 2 for sequencing, and Lemur on Ipad for remote control in addition of the Novation SL MKii keyboard for plugin controls, or the Splashtop iOS app for visible multitouch control of vst plugins and mixing. Or do crazy things with iOS apps and VST plugins at the same time. Be creative and just use what works best for you!
I agree with 100% about the touch interface. I prefer it to the keyboard/mouse. Touch Bitwig sounds cool. The only thing I suggest is try to find out is if your iPad can interface with the Surface. Using an iPad with a desktop DAW as a plugin is a magical thing.
My guess is that it uses a similar headphone amp. You can get tiny headphone amps that are so small they dangle from your headphone cable. I have one and it works great.
