He'll always be the Big Boy to me....
@Fruitbat1919 - LMAO Great minds and all that
Great addled minds and all that
Hm, thinking about what reason and live have in common
I think it's you don't have to start with an empty arrangement page?
(Haven't looked into reason for years and years)
Doing arrangements in GarageBand/logic sucks
Sometimes I'm pushing elements around the screen for 2 months to end up with 5 minutes of sound I like, that's about as much fun as a hole in the head.
Arranging stuff in abletons clip matrix is fun and fast.
A few follow actions here and there - la voila.
I'd like to see a 5.5" iPod Pro...I think it be perrrrrfect for audio...
I gotta admit, I'm a bit of a Reason fanboy. Been on it since version 1. Obviously, it goes without saying, iOS has some unique apps that currently don't have a parallel on Windows. But IMO they're few and far between. To whoever compared it to the likes of Fugue machine, you'd be surprised actually! There's a great device called Korde that's like an arpeggiator but with multiple playback heads and sequencers (16 actually). They can ping pong, reverse, play back at different speeds, and generate CV curves and note stutters etc. There's a drum version as well. Definitely worth checking out if you have Reason. There's also stuff like the PSQ, which is a Eurorack style euclidean pulse sequencer, plus you can build all sorts of things yourself by just patching stuff together and seeing what happens.
Oh and of course, the iPad does work well with Link, although most times it's still simpler for me to just do it all on the laptop. The only synths I really keep coming back to are Model 15 and Gadget, because it's a great idea starter.
If iOS gets an open file system, and more developers embrace the AU format, then I would consider my iPad a viable alternative. For now it's really just an auxiliary thing. Massive props to the people persevering with it as a platform in its own right though. I really ought to for the money I've spent on the damn thing!

iFatBastard; an iPad for walking buckets of lard.
Logic is probably head above reason in terms of mixing and stuff IMO.
But in terms of fun, reason on a surface pro would take it for me at this time!
Except iOS was made for people to surf the web and play stupid games, the whole music thing on it was the after thought!
This, totally!
Give it 2 years and the surface pro 5 will have been all ironed out, more daws will have added touch support, and then apple will be behind running an OS designed for talking smack on forums! ; )
Templates man! Figure out templates and you speed up your workflow!
But more to the point I think traditional daws are better for linear arrangements as opposed to live!
Don't think so, it took some time for tec to evolve to meet demands.
Good old uncle Steve had this idea sitting for years and years on the shelf waiting for tec to get fast/small/usable...
iPad was the first idea about this, they only did the phone first because phones were so bad at the time, so more stuff to sell ...
Yeah, I mean I am sold on the touch thing at this point, just really over iOS I think, shame again about a few things like Animoog tho! Would pick a vst of that in a heartbeat!
For me now, I thing a touch optimized reason, with a small controller and my octatrack would be a dream setup! Best of all aspects! Add maybe faders for mixing!
Yes, they are, but then you have to know what you want in the first place.
I don't think in "songs" - you know this comes after that ...
With live you can just fool around with your ideas until you have come up with a structure,
The other stuff wants you to have a structure and get it down or it gets complicated ...
3.5' Apple Watch (pro) for my musical and time needs please
I'm seeing. Lot of comparisons to LPX when in fact if I had to get a desktop DAW it would be Prosonus studio One ha da down. Much less bloated. I like Reason and FL Studio too.But LPX would be last on my list by far . Cubase same..
Aurio Pro is #1,
x86 is often used as shorthand for any chip that runs an Intel instruction set, including the 64bit evolution that was actually designed by AMD1 while Intel was off sinking the Itanium.

For me it's simple, desktop it's not nearly as fun as mobile. I've tried te surface pro 3 (4 has to be basically the same experience) it's a PC with just a touch add-on, PC technology has been taken as far as it could go, touch in PC it's just a nice little feature, I mean... it's there but most of the time it will function as a mouse replacement. in mobile it's the whole point of the experience, and it allows new ways to interact with software. You could make the case that with time most PC software will be made touch compatible (for real...not just as a mouse replacement) but it will probably never happen, if you want a PC just go for a PC, why a surface?. In my mind iOS it's 90% there, but I think it will never add nothing from the PC environment, again if you want an iPad with a mouse a keyboard and a "real OS, then why an iPad?.

Yes. From the POV of a music maker who is not a trained musician, the heavyweight desktop DAW's expect expertise and are designed from that perspective. Nothing wrong with that, of course, I'm sure the majority of buyers have that level of expertise.
IOS DAW's - and many music apps - are more forgiving. Yes, they can be used expertly by experts, but also allow for those who, like me, just want to excercise sonic imagination. As a direct result of being more accessible, more people can enjoy IOS music making.
I had years and years of piano lessons, so I am a trained musician.
I can play Beethoven with closed eyes, if that's what you are talking about.
But being a trained musician doesn't mean I am a great at doing arrangements.
So I need to try out a lot of things ...
Moving pixels from one side of the screen to the other isn't exactly my idea of a fun or productive afternoon, the linear stuff doesn't help me here.
Makes sense to me. From an ex hardware plus large hot noisy computer studio user, the freedom and sense of fun my iPad has given me can not be ignored. iOS with all its quirks, makes 'messing about with music' (pretty accurate expression of what I do) fun and easy. Yes, I occasionally miss some things from my more complex studio days, but occasional is the word here. What iOS gives me more than makes up for any complex set up and in a time of my life when good health and money are becoming increasingly rare, I thank the alien music god for iOS

Partly. What I meant was, someone like yourself knows music theory. You understand the mechanics of what you are doing, the layout of notes and relationship between parts of a piece. You know the rules.
Those who lack your skills, and just like to play about are working by ear, inspiration and serendipity.
Neither group has all the answers, and both are just as likely to produce something interesting.

Absolutely. IOS is a great leveler. Providing you can get together the entrance fee - an iPad of some description - then you can gets incredible apps at a fraction of what the desktop market charges.
Music can be made without leaving your bed, if it's a bad day, which has got to be helpful in keeping spirits up and therefore aiding recovery. I know that, for me, on days where nothing else is going right in my world, being able to fiddle about with something on the iPad has helped.
Yep if it wasn't for my wife and music, I would have left this world a long time ago
Hiding in bed with an iPad making music is very cosey and relaxing.
I could do this forever without recording anything.
Forget your troubles and enjoy.
I can see how Logic Pro could be “not fun” for someone who hasn’t invested a lot of time in it and getting comfortable with how it works. If you don’t make music in more conventional ways, then it also might have a lot of features you don’t care about. Just the Score editor (one of so many powerful functions in Logic) is complex to figure out, but if you create/work with/from music scores, it’s kinda necessary. And for me, it’s not fun to work on big things on a tiny screen.
Fun is making music. The iPad is very fun for certain things. Logic is also fun for me.
True story
Microsoft have tried combining a touchscreen device and regular PC with Windows 10 and it doesn't work. To accommodate for having to work with touch the UI has to be oversized where it does not have to be for working with mouse. It's not the best of both worlds. I would rather iOS just gets improved.
