    When iPadOS has a real file system then logic would be ok, without it I can’t ever see really working on it, at least not for projects that were for others and on deadlines. Also, keep in mind that a full install of logic is over 80gb.

    A lot of that is samples I think.
    We deploy logic through software platform 'parallels' at work and notice about 60gb or so is the AIF samples data.

    It definitely is samples, but then again the sampler, drummer, and alchemy have a huge library of samples that are needed in order for them to work, so if that is functionality that is desired, then those samples will be needed.

    Is the parallels that you are talking about the same as parallels that runs windows on a Mac? Or is it a way to deploy software to multiple machines at once? I started teaching at a college this semester and the computers in the music lab don’t all have the same setup, that info could be a help to the person that is in charge of that aspect.

    Hi there, yes, Parallels runs on pc and Mac, and is for deploying en masse to Macs.

    I would not recommend it personally though as it has its limits that your guy may come to over time. It's also fairly expensive ~£30k/yr for a license.

    In education environments (further ed, higher ed), Microsoft's InTune is becoming the better choice for managing Mac software, a particular advantage is that it is included as part of the Office365 Enterprise purchase, which is a very reasonably priced way to buy Office for places that use it a lot (like in education)

    Parallels is good, but your guy would be best to consider InTune and Azure as we have found it difficult, particularly with regards to major Logic update releases to deploy these without problems.

    Agree entirely if you're putting the finishing touches on a meisterwerk you really need a proper DAW with all those subtle dark things going on underneath -especially with vocal tracks .... but sometimes I just wanna have a play ... get a few synths sharing some midi about and hurling some fx into the mix and see what turns up. AUM would be able to meet 90% of my needs really for such doodling. IF after a couple of hours I've got a couple of bars or melodies worth keeping that's easy enough to flick across to the daw.

    All depends on what you're chasing doesn't it ... but for most of us I reckon professional level production and all that excruciating fine tuning is the last thing we reach, the height of the art - after we've been captured by the music.

    I mix for other people, so any meisterwerks are not mine! I agree about just having a play, I love gadget, iOS GarageBand, imaschine, NanoStudio, Beathawk, things like that for exactly that purpose. Although logic is really easy to get going quickly as well, especially with templates.

    But, I couldn’t mix for other people with the results they are expecting in the timeline they need it without using a computer and a daw. I wish I was in a position to be using a real board and tape or a recorder that’s not a daw, but it’s not my world financially or otherwise right now, so logic, console one, uad, and my x-touch with external summing and an ssl compressor clone is as close as I can get right now...

    Oh cool, that’s great info. I’m just an adjunct there, so I don’t know all of the ins and outs but I’ll mention it.

    I have 2020 iPad Pro 12’9” and there is literally nothing I cannot play on it.

    Agreed. I have a 2018 11" iPad Pro and it can handle anything. Yes, the file system can be a bit wonky, but the few compromises I have to make are outweighed by the positives for me. Definitely getting a new one when they're released, just have to decide if I want to stick with 11" or go back to a 12.9".

    I’ve been hearing about these mythical all-powerful ipads for quite awhile now. I welcome them with open arms, but I’m not holding my breath. I’m happy with my Pro 12.9 for what I use it for (mostly production), but I still need a desktop for certain things. A proper DAW being one.
    Apple could get me for a chunk of cash if they’d just release a portable touch device I could run Ableton, Bitwig, etc on.

    I don’t mean to sound down on iOS and iPadOS, I really like using both. For me, they serve as part of an ecosystem, they just can’t serve as the center of it right now. But I am always open to change so if it ever becomes the right tool to be the hub I will use it that way.

    I definitely realize for some people it has revolutionized music making for them, or in some cases, created the opportunity to get into it initially at all.

    I started teaching two beginning audio classes this semester, and as I try to get students’ heads wrapped around audio concepts using reaper and protools, they’ve been very confused. I used Harrison mixbus the other day to demonstrate signal flow and things started to snap into place for most of them. One thing I do like a lot about auria is that it is laid out in a similar manner to mixbus in that it emulates an analog mixer, so tracing signal flow is very easy.

    However, to my surprise, not one student in either class owns an iPad and not all of them use iPhone, so mobile music tools can’t really be part of the class right now. I may introduce some of them towards the end of the semester though to show them what is possible- I bet a lot of the students would do really well with beatmaker 3, auria, nanostudio, etc, especially as so many of them are primarily interested in or have experience doing hip hop, edm, etc, where those would be such great tools for them.

    One thing I can say is it’s an interesting time in music, and now seeing through the eyes of beginners (some with absolutely no experience at all before day 1 of class) is opening my eyes to the overwhelming amount of choices available to someone who doesn’t know at all what they need.

    Anyway, back to spending my day cleaning up some drives and making backups to get ready for the mixing project that’s coming in.

    There’s always one...😂
    But it is a true statement. Also not a road I ever have a desire to explore!

    I can’t possibly read all these posts, but believing in rumor sites is not very productive. You have to wait and see and worry about it afterward. Don’t buy it right away if you don’t care to try it out to get your answers.

    We should already have flying cars by now, but we don’t reasonably have them for everyone. We should be living on Mars to plan on the destruction of Earth. Who do you know is living on Mars? Wireless audio and MIDI should be set up with no latency by now, it’s 2021 after all.

    SunVox runs on almost everything!!
