@AdamMatza1967 No, noooo, shhh, please, we're busy dreaming here, none of this harsh reality mumbo jumbo...
lol
@telecharge
in what other industry is it acceptable for an entire system to break down and it be a month later with no fix in sight? i'll save you the trouble. the answer is none.
Most important for me is that the iPad Pro have 2 usb ports :-)
The entire system has not broken down. Some aspects of it aren't working properly, but I know many people are still making music just fine on their idevices.

You don't have to look to other industries. On what other OS platform does everything "just work" one month after a new version is released?

@syrupcore
easy answer: iOS 7. it was working fine far less than a month after it was released. and it was not nearly as dysfunctional as iOS 8. stop being an apologist.
@cswinn
I beg to differ. Anything that has to do with AB is not working nearly as robustly and is not nearly as stable as it was before iOS 8. Most aren't working well with iOS 7 either. you should stop being an apologist, too.

I think you're confusing "apologist" and "realist". Things are broken, and it clearly needs some time to fix. Nothing you can do but wait or figure out a solution. If these developers are so incompetent, show em how it's done and fix this mess yourself.
Otherwise, you can have an understanding that this is a problem beyond one persons control, accept that it'll take some time to figure out, and realize that everyone is in the same unwanted boat.
True dat deb.
Sorry OP. 2gb, USB ports, fingers crossed!

Charming.
I think you are all seriously underestimating the problem.

I'm starting to feel like I'm feeding the troll here, but...
Can you explain why the situation is so dire?
I think you are seriously over-estimating how many people are having problems. The upgrade to iOS8 was barely a bump in the road for me. A few of my apps needed updates that took a couple weeks, but plenty of others worked in the meantime. been writing music non-stop on the iPad until today, other than some annoying Audiobus warning (I'm mostly IAA anyway), not a big deal.
I've had my iPhone 5s on IOS8 for awhile and it seems to be working fairly well now. My iPads are still on iOS 7.1.2 (not updating apps) still able to use just about all of the apps there too. I wouldn't count on either of these set ups for a professional gig as things do seem to be in a state of constant flux. There are still some apps that aren't ready yet but nearly all of the ones I use are. I do think there is a trade off between software and hardware that are being upgraded yearly and the instability that comes with that versus the benefits of new capabilities.
Actually I find the iOS upgrade thing to be very disruptive, one thing Apple really suck at is backwards compatibility. It's far worse than on other platforms in my experience.
I think one very simple truth emerges for me from all these upgrade tribulations: the first release is for general public. 3rd or 4th for people who do some serious business on it.
We should all just stamp it in our heads that the first few releases are basically beta in terms of IOS music.
And as far as downgrading of the non working apps to the previous state is concerned, we should all have a folder on our hard drives for old IPAs of all of the precious apps we use a lot and rely on. Ifunbox is there to make the app downgrade a doddle. I am a veteran of windows XP and times when every 3 months I had to reinstall the operating system because I'd downloaded something stupid. This meant reinstalling all the drivers: asio4all and the rest of it. It was like a war zone. If you've been through those 'tough times' the IoS 8 things feel like a really small deal indeed.
iOS8 has some serious issues with keeping all the new system background processes in check, CPU spikes all over etc. This causes issues like tiny audio dropouts here and there, not ideal if you're using your iDevice for any serious stuff/live performances. It does not give priority to the app running, all those system processes that you don't actually use have priority (wut? no my heart rate is fine, and me car too, but thanks for checking in iOS). That's just the tip of the iceberg.
has there been any official response from apple to the music community about these issues being that it's such an important part of apples userbase?
@kobamoto said:
I'd love a response from Apple, but I don't think we can really say music is an important segment of users... not at least from the AppStore numbers. LoopyHD is the only music production app on the US store "top paid" list today. And it's behind 99 other apps, mostly games.
Sadly, the message that goes with restructuring things around health monitoring and system tools is a pretty clear: multi-tasking of background music apps is not at all a priority for Apple.
Outside of music, Multi-tasking itself is just used for syncing notifications in the background, right? Is there any other category of app that actually requires multi-tasking?
^and I don't say all that to suggest our ecosystem won't be able to thrive! but it is still in the beginning stages of development where users and developers are exploiting iOS in ways it isn't necessarily designed or intended.
one thing for sure, 2GB of ram is definitely a big improvement for our cause.
"but I don't think we can really say music is an important segment of users... "
Apple would not be Apple if not for the audio community...Jobs made that clear on several occasions...I'm sure it'll be fixed in time...
In the meantime:
LET THEM KNOW:
The iOS system background process are causing audio glitches and dropouts....
https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
Done. Not sure how much they care if the problem is not specific but hey.
I haven't updated to ios 8 because there's plenty of people complaining of music production apps not working as intended. Despite this I have updated some of my music apps and started getting error messages. I have contacted several developers but they all seem to concur that the fault lies with Apple and the recent update and difficulty with apps not being backwards compatible with ios7 once updated to the latest version. Please sort out the audio on ios ASAP. There are a lot of very frustrated die hard Apple users that use music apps to earn money . Please make sure that Apple returns to its usual reliability or there will be a wave of bad publicity and people switching to alternative platforms. Thanks
