Pro 11 vs. Air dilemma
Hello Crew,
Currently, I'm using the 6th gen iPad and set of apps including Keystage, AUM, iLectric, SampleTank, Korg's Module, Model D, and 2-3 effects. It seems to be stable (at home; before the Great Isolation Time I was using SynthMaster Player instead of Model D, and nothing wrong happened during live gigs.) Now I went into more layers of sounds, and when added EPs in Colossus, got some glitches and bumps. With that, I see the limit of my current CPU. Now, I started the plan for the new iPad. It's more problematic now, as live gigging life just starts with lower wages and a very small number of events. This leads me to the iPad Air, it gives me 50% more RAM. A12 vs. my A10 looks good — benchmarks of single cores look good when compared to actual A12Z. Now the question: how many years/months it would be enough? Or empty the pocket and start with the cheapest Pro 11''/128 GB?
Hope to get some help from you
Greetings
P.S. I especially count on the opinions of new owners of current models

Model D sounds great but is high on cpu
I have the Air3, I'm really happy with it. If you check out https://www.notebookcheck.net/A12-Bionic-vs-A12Z-Bionic_10166_11937.247596.0.html#:~:text=It offers 8 cores divided,The difference to the older&text=The Apple A12X included 10,therefore offer a similar amount there's a 44% performance increase over the a12 for a12z. Is that worth the extra money if you don't care about screen size, storage etc? I don't know.
I think if you keep waiting for the next big processor, you will be waiting a long time
also, if you need a headphone jack then the Air3 is going to be better. If you don't care, and already have a USB C interface, then that's important to consider as well. Connectivity options / purchases could end up being pricey too. Just other things to think about...
Yessir! That's right. Then Colossus is high on RAM, after turning on Dynamic Scale Tuning becomes very high on both,
Thanks for reply.
Thanks! In the meantime, I opened exactly the same article!
Somewhere, on this forum, I've found, that multi-core tests are less important for Musicians, as the single-core tests. But I'm not sure if this (important) information is true. Single-core results look similar.
For now, if I compare some basics:
Model: Air 2018 vs Pro 11 2020
Price: 100% vs 118% (Air with 256 GB. 64 GB version is not for me)
CPU age: 673 days vs120 days
I think (very reluctantly in the money category), that Pro is more futuristic for one-fifth of the price more.
5 more days to think.
BTW. Some weeks ago I saw Kingston Nucleum (much praised on this forum) on sale, and grabbed it just in case. Now the case has come to me.
One more suggestion?
Second hand iPad Pro 10.5 with older processor but 4Gb Ram.
You could also consider running 2 iPads alongside each other but that gets a bit fiddly.
Quad speakers vs Stereo speakers
ProMotion 120Hz vs 60Hz
4GB RAM vs 3GB RAM
12-mp camera with 4K video (Quad LED True Tone flash) vs 8-mp camera with 1080p (no flash)
600 nits brightness vs 500 nits brightness
A10X (faster GPU) vs A12 (slower GPU)
