Make sure you have enough space, if you are doing end to end on the ipad for commercial release you probably want all audio to be in the highest resolution and frequency available,
A lot of apps only support 44.1 Khz 16 Bit so make sure the ones you want to use support the audio quality you want to work at.
While working with synths and effects, name your presets in a way that you will easily be able to find them again when changing songs. I use the following name format
KRU_Badman_Bass
where KRU is a prefix for me, Badman is the song name and Bass is the name of the track in the song.
It is a bit open-ended question: what is your product? Songs/audio files? Nightclub entertainment? Live music? Score a movie? In either of the previous: any specific genre? Any specific delivery format?
In general, one thing that I have noticed as I look at the set-ups of various professional people, is that they keep it in fairly simple building blocks. Especially for live music it can look complex, but is often rather simple, as they need something that is easy to debug and quick to fix.
As for selling songs/audio (be it for music, commercials, games etc), you'd need to look at your signal chain to ensure it holds up to the required expected audio quality from the customer/client. Other than that, creating music without the pressure of a live situation, doesn't differ much from other ways of recording music, apart from it being more convenient.
If you need to score a movie/video clip/advertising I would have guessed "not using iDevice" probably would be the wise thing, but looking at videos from various vLoggers etc it is indeed possible to time/sync video and audio if you have your mind set to it. I just think a (any) desktop would be more suitable for things like that.
I would recommend scaling down all the apps on an iPad to just those you need and dedicate it to your work. Are you looking for DAWs, loopers, synths, effects, sequencers, etc.? What format do you need to hand it off as? With those questions answered, I'm sure you can get more targeted answers.
If possible BACK UP EVERYTHING
iOS is not the most friendly of devices to back up, but saying that, I've not had a major loss in my year of use so far....touch wood.
As already said, delete any apps not needed and keep plenty of spare space.
Do not update any apps that you need. Important this one. A broken app update is a more regular occurrence than I first thought.
Get a setup that works and leave it alone. If you want to play with apps and setups, get a second iPad.
And to add for live use, I would definetly recommend two identical iPad setups. I've never met a serious guitar player that does not have a backup, so the same applies here.
And remember to switch off any background functions in settings, or anything that can interfere while using the iPad live.
And remember about power supply, spare leads etc.
**Number 1 rule: turn off automatic updates of apps and iOS. **
Sorry to yell, it's just worth stating clearly
BACK UP.
I didn't and look at me now, mangled and empty by the side of the highway. Piss on me as you pass by, but learn the one lesson everyone nods at but few take care of. Today.
Everytime I think I've done this I see an app update automatically. Is there a global setting for this?
@lukesleepwalker yep, its in iTunes settings
however, you can still accidentally tap on the "update all" button when you are viewing available updates on the AppStore. And there's no setting to keep you from doing something stupid like that... I have no idea who would do such a moronic thing. and lose youtube download access on AnyTune among other unwanted updates.
got it! thx, @Hmtx
