IPad Pro vs MacBook

Which would you get?

Can IPad Pros handle storage like a Macbook these days?

What are other major pros and cons for music production?

My PC is shot and I need to do something.

Thanks

    MacBook only if you think you might like Logic Pro. Otherwise go for that iPad Pro!

    (Logic is awesome and so deep/fantastic sounds, new workflow to learn though)

    Surface Pro 4? B)

    Are we talking Macbook or Macbook Pro?

    Such different beasts. Do you value making music on the train more? How important is touchscreen input? You ok with the file sharing limitations and workarounds of iOS?

    depends on what you want to accomplish or better yet what you Need to accomplish. specifically.

    Well...if you want to use the iPad like a PC just get a PC. If you want to use the iPad for what it is and for what it can do right now get an iPad.

    An iPad, iOS, mobile in general, mobile music apps are so much better than PC in several ways but not quite there yet in others. I think the most important thing to consider it's that mobile will get as powerful as PC and more but not in the same way (for example: you will never see an SD card slot on an iPad, that's "old tech" instead expect wireless solutions to get faster and more reliable for big file transfers)

    Basically if you get an iPad but then start complaining about wanting a mouse, wanting a keyboard, wanting several USB ports, wanting an SD card slot, wanting to run MacOS on it. Then don't even think about it and just get a mac.

    See if you could get both second hand, or maybe just the mbp and use your current ipad for a bit longer. I bought my mbp, just at the end of its cycle as the new ones were coming out, was very lucky, had expanded ram, covers, was in perfect condition and half the price.

    Then get logic and smile as you now have alchemy enhanced, it comes with a lot of the soundbanks for the earlier versions included, you can even load the old banks into it. Also love the compressor in logic and quite a few of the other fx, instruments, works a treat with an ipad and a lightening lead.

    If you don't like it, you could sell it, as macs hold there value quite well, but I'd hunt for a bargain, also bootcamp or parallels to use windows, if you go for parallels or something similar, you can use both os's at the same time and bring your system to its knees.

    I could have bought a MacBook when my iPad Air died - in fact, the salesman insisted quite a lot - but, since I also invested north of $200 in Auria (including the plug-ins), and wanted the most portable solution if it implied a not so big a compromise, I ended up getting the smaller iPad Pro. It is more powerful than either the MacBook (Core M) and the MacBook Air by the way, so I think it can run Auria Pro better than they can handle Logic Pro X. Of course, iOS is still a bottleneck for anything "Pro", so you need to have this in mind. I'm happy with my iPad, which I use for daily work.

    Using the iPad for music production is often like using the PC for music production in the 90s: Dear developers, we need [insert an absolulety basic feature here] for [insert your favorite music software here] :)

    Not one of the flagship products of any big players has been ported to iOS. I hope this will happen in the future.

    none of those flagships are designed for touch operation - in pro context they rely on keyboard shortcuts almost exclusively.
    A GUI is at least 10 times more work than whatever audio algorithm you implement.
    Consider 1/10 of revenues from typical apps and you know why nothing is ported ;)
