another fan of freezing here - always been, updates use to annoy me ...
I even have a ProTools TDM system on a blue G3 Mac (currently in the closet), pre year 2k.
My main PC has a Creamware DSP audio system under XP, shortly after year 2k.
Even a 1st gen iPad can be useful with Midi or (some) sample based apps.
I'll probably keep the iPad Air 2 on IOS 9 and simply buy any current model once it seems useful.
I started on iOS with iPad3 and still feel nice and cozy with the Air1 that I got when it came out. With the Air1 I am totally addicted now to recording on the fly building up tracks, stream of consciousness, committing audio material very early. Also, I do final mixing on PC so it takes the pressure off of the iPad.
I tried the various iOS DAWs running multiple synths/apps like I have done on PC for years. In the end the limitations of the iPad to me do not feel like CPU or RAM but rather the OS itself and most DAWs not fully embracing the touchscreen. As for iOS the usual gripes such as crippled file management, confused midi, flaky IAA, limited AUs (low specs and lack of user presets), plus a legacy of older devices to still support. I just do not see any of these things improving soon. So more device processing power etc will be great in time when devs take advantage of it within their own apps but that seems a ways off to me.
Anyway, if I do get the itch for a Pro iPad for music it could be in the unlikely event that Korg puts out a couple new high powered sampler / fx Gadgets. Like some sort of 64bit Kaossilator / Kaoss Pad sampler Gadgets with tons of customization/automation. Or perhaps someone will come up with a good stem mixer / editor that is not just a lame attempt at the PC DAW paradigm. Until then I will likely just be keep on happily recording individual apps one at a time into Blocs Wave for mixing PC.
Right, and also with more "modest" apps, synths, DDMM, FX, well controlled. Maybe there is more work to do, but it's another way to experiment the pleasure of making music on IOS.
I mean, the first time you play music on an IPad, you can't believe it, what it can do...
I think that true IOS Musician should begin with an older IPad and discover what it can do first, but maybe more experimented Musician can try directly to mess with the BIG boy. Oups,
to be honest the iPad One on the first Alesis ioDock was the best user experience in digital audio I ever made... and I made plenty.
You could remove it right in the middle of a session, take it to the kitchen, have a coffee or whatever and after return shift it back into the dock ... and it continued where you left.
There was't IAA and such mess and it just WORKED with Audiobus - priceless.
Not shure if it was IOS 4, 5 or 6, but I'd pay an extra $100 to get that convenience and reliability back.
Yeah, it's a piece of "the coming history" of technology, the IPad 1 represent a revolution on its own and is the back bone of the serie.
As you say there are surely good features that were lost with the new generations, and maybe la manzana will come back to it.
Each version of this machine has something to offer, and to fully appreciate it, there's a need of focus.
Of course, for a more active musician, it's maybe necessary to work with several iPads at the same time, or at least with the most advanced one to run ALL (too much ??) his favourite apps in harmony......., but everyone got a different size of shoe...
These questions are always YMMV. I use my iPad Air pretty much exclusively for music production. I may look online here & there but I don't watch movies on it or do graphic arts, office work, etc. So with that focus and the fact I really haven't gone full bore with it even I think I have 2 more years easy, IF I stay at the iOS I'm at (9.3.5).
I resisted going from 8.4 for over a year but when a few apps I wanted only accepted or had required updates to iOS9 I updated. I won't go to iOS10 unless absolutely necessary...and not if like a synth I dig is 10 only, it'll have to be Auria Pro only runs on 10 and above or something.
My dilemma is storage. I have 64GB Air2 and the many synths, drum, guitar and production apps I've collected have given me like 4 to 5 GB free space. So I am at that point that saving projects to Dropbox, or just keeping it to a few projects at a time (no 9 songs in progress deals) is an option or apps I bought and like (perhaps not love though) like Beathawk or Amplitube are going to have to be taken off. The Apple Store makes it very easy to reinstall an app, just as long as your settings and data are backed up too.
To those worrying if their 64 bit Air 2 is in obsolescence I urge them to read through the forum or watch some YouTube of iOS musicians. I've seen plenty using older iPads and creating great work. As someone who started on Tascam PortaStudios, and went through trial and error as a teenager to get good levels, clean recordings and good demos. It's never the tools, it's the person using the tools...
Be cool...
I'm still using my iPad 4, but its been a while since I used it as a DAW. I use Logic Pro X for a DAW and my iPad primarily serves and a sound and synth box for my Keyboard or amp sim and effects box for my guitar. Things are just a lot cheaper on the iPad so while I have Logic Pro X, Bias, Bias FX, and Audulus on my MacBook Pro, I have 75+ synths, Sound Tank (no upgrades, needs 64bit), Korg Module, and hundreds of music apps on my iPad. I use the iConnectivityAudio 4+ as a AI so I always have my iPad connected to my MBP.
However, I will update to a new iPad after the March release, have to have the 64bit for too many things. The only thing that would make a newly released iPad a must-have for me would be near-field ApplePay support. Otherwise I'll probably just get the currently "new" 9.7 iPad Pro. Would prefer the 12.9 model, but the better camera on the 9.7 winds me over right now.
I am also checking the apps I uses to see what works on the iPhone 7 plus, I might switch to it if it'll run all the music apps I like. Great to see more apps moving to the iPhone.
Note that while I have some iPhones, I don't use them for phones. I carry my iPad with me everywhere and use it as my phone via google voice and google plus.
