Anyone have a dedicated iPad just for music?
As in, a second iPad that you only use for music, maybe permanently hooked up to some other gear?
And if so, why do you prefer it this way, rather than using your main iPad for everything?
Also, is the music iPad more or less powerful than the other one?

My ipad is only for music so that when I use it I definitely only use it for music and dont get distracted. No comms, no socials, no forums, no designing, no nothing else, to avoid the way that using the laptop becomes mentally associated with so many other things that impulsively when you go to the laptop you end up doing everything other than music. If im at the ipad then music is the only thing happening.
I don't get distracted from music by other apps, but I do wonder if having an iPad that is only for music would feel more like a hardware device. I use Drambo hosting Loopy Pro and Koala, with a Nanokontrol 2.
My ipad is only for music. Everything else I do with iphone….
While not connected to gear, my iPad is definitely 95% for music. It is a hardware (musical) device for me.
I have one iPad just for music but see no difference if I had just one iPad for everything.
I mean I guess the only difference is that the iPad that isn’t part of my music rig has the 3.5mm jack.
My iPad is mostly just for music. I use it to watch things when I’m out of town and occasional to binge YouTube in the bed. But 90% of the time it’s just for music.
Unless apps like Radio Unit, Web Player, Tube Audio, etc count. Even then it’s used in a musical way.
I use both my iPad and Mac only for music. Background story: I genuinely like Apple hardware but i genuinely dislike Apple software and Apple as a company. I think they still have no real competition as a mobile music making platform and when I started the same was true for the desktop, hence my setup.
For every other computing need, it's Windows laptops and Android phones all the way. I actually avoid Apple if I can.
I have a Pro 9.7” permanently hooked up to my JX-3P as a programmer. I also use it for the older standalone apps.
I use my iPad 90% for music. I try to have only a few non-music related apps installed. If I need to use social media, YT etc., then I do it all through the (Brave) browser. That means no social apps eating up resources and no disturbing notifications.
Still thinking of scooping a 9 to get the last headphone jack model and just mount it next to my Maschine/computer for Samplr/Borderlands/Spacecraft/BM3 etc.
Well, I have my main iPad (a Mini 6) mostly for music and art creation, although I peruse this forum a few times a day, Facebook hardly, Twitter sometimes, and Youtube only during meals on it. Can't remember the last time I've bothered to watch a full movie on my M1 iPad Pro let alone my Mini 6 (although I sometimes go with my girl to see movies first run).
I lost my USB-C to 3.5mm adapter and had to buy another today. I bought two this time.
For me it would be more of a functional art/historical piece.
But yah the M1 pro with a usbc works now too heh
...only have one ipad - and I use it exclusively for music making. I don't watch movies or listen to iTunes music or even play games on my ipad ever. (I use my iphone more for web browsing and youtube videos, etc.) The only apps I have on it are music making apps. I don't think I've even used the Safari browser on my current ipad more than 5-6 times. And I turn off most of the apple shit like Siri.
Exactly the same.
That's the only way to get the lost ones to show up.
i dont mind losing them anymore...
My old pro 9.7 is permanently attached to the ICA 4+ while the air 3 roams wild, also does music but also does writing, drawing, animation, sculpting, media consumption and games on top… I use it more than any laptop I’ve ever had and it cost less than £250, bloody amazing
My iPad is just for making music and video editing for my live music/DJ sets- but I used to occasionally play games on it if they were Arcade exclusives I couldn't play on anything else, but I haven't played a game on the iPad for a few years now.
I use my iPad Pro so much more than anything else. I write (for work) on a Mac, but everything else, from watching TV shows and movies with my significant other, to writing this post, is on this 2018 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
I guess that’s why I’m asking. I wonder if it might not be better to have one just for music. On the other hand, it’s great to just switch to Drambo and go.
In that case, you might have asked the wrong question. Had it been "I'm considering buying another iPad, just for music. Am I out of line?", you would have received a ton of emotional support from our nice addict community and you would likely be the proud owner of a music-only iPad by now 🙂👍
I forgot I do use my iPad for video editing and occasionally games as well. I’m upgrading to the 1 TB pro soon and it will be 100% music/art creation only and this Air 5 will become the catch all for everything else.
Or possibly I accidentally asked the right question
I will probably replace this iPad when the next Pros arrive. Hoping for more ports etc.
I also have an old iPad mini I could use for music only, but the big screen is so nice.
For me it’s made the old iPad become more of a sound module/effects box/interesting sequencer than the main course it used to be. The newer one gets used more as a dRambo machine, especially with the keyboard attached as it plays notes…

Keyboard+Drambo and keyboard+Koala are amazing.
Fair!
I sooooo need to do that. What site did you get that deal ?
Alibaba
Yep, one solely for music, and another for everything else.
