    The biggest problem the iPad has for me is that it's not universally friendly with the OS desktop environment. If Apple made the iPad send and sync audio in perfect harmony, it would act as a perfect sidecar with OS. I know Apple made IDAM, but it does not do the best job. With these new heavy M series processors, Apple should make the IPAD much more creative and open up the code more for developers to design their apps better to match the IOS.

    Agree. Bi-directional multi channel IDAM over USB-C would be such a game changer.

    That would be sweet!! Bring it on!!

    Well…for one they started calling them pro devices with $1800 price tags and thunderbolt 4 ports but no audio driver support…

    DriverKit, including AudioDriverKit, has been part of iPadOS since version 16, however none of the hardware vendors seem to have taken any interest in developing audio drivers…

    https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit/creating_drivers_for_ipados

    ok, thanks for clarifying this! I take it all back if in fact RME’s USB3.0 audio interfaces do in fact utilize a driver on ipad….is this the first audio driver on iOS? see ya class compliant…

    If I understand it correctly, drivers that are native to Apple Silicon on Mac will basically not require any further development or modification to run on M-series iPads… which makes it more frustrating that I still have to just use class-compliant mode on Roland, Yamaha and Korg synths…

    I’m glad I never had an audio driver issue with my iPad. Core Audio / MIDI always worked perfectly for me with external hardware.

    Yeah..if you don’t mind latency and limited features….it’s the best!

    What audio interface are you using?
    I’m not using anything near high end and my latency is great at 64 samples. Less than 5ms round trip. Great for guitar processing.

    I have the similar questions for you, @jacou - What (brand, type) interface are you using? How did you measure RTL? On what frequency?
    The RTL value <5ms at 64 samples at 48kHz is great even with optimized ASIO drivers on Windows so I wonder about your equipment.
    I have posted several measurements including my trusty RME Babyface Pro FS here: https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/58564/comparing-interface-latency/p1

    With my iPad I'm using the Harley Benton MP-500 (aka Melo Audio Toneshifter Mega) which is a dedicated guitar audio interface / midi controller. Surprisingly decent converters and pre amp. That's why I kept it.
    Latency specs shown in AUM on iPad Pro M1. But was pretty similar on iPad Air 1 (2013) already.
    So far I experienced iPadOS to be a pretty solid system when it comes to audio.

    Edit: Same with Mac. I remember having a lot of issues with Windows back then. Audio doesn't seem to be a very high priority to Microsoft.

    Thank you @jacou. Be aware that AUM (or any other common app) can't measure overall round trip latency. To do this, you need to physically connect input and output on the interface and send and measure audio pulse through this loop. There are specialized apps for measuring RTL, I'm using of the Onyx app on iOS and the RTL Utility on Windows. Anyway, you don't have to worry about anything I've written if your ears are satisfied with latency you are getting now :)

    Thanks for the heads up. I see you take the audio tech game very serious :)
    I guess I’ll have to test the real latency then some time.

    But it still seems to be less than 7ms. Everything above 7ms is quite noticeable when I play guitar through a device.
