@supadom ....and there you have it: Flexi's next album (or jam): Air Force One
Edit: In fact, if I get really stuck for something to do tonight I might just write some totally doggereled lyrics
Cool, send them over we have a first gig coming next Sunday they might turn useful.
Air Force one? Mmm, not sure, I have too many anti establishment friends to swing that one
But seriously, air 1 on ios 7 is an amazing machine. I can see myself settling on air 2 for quite some time once ios8 gets sorted. Especially when samplr gets IAA. Just realized that somehow IAA engages depending in what sequence I start the apps in AB. I just had magellan jr as a vocal fx and senior played in arp mode and ticked with the beat like the finest clockwork. Wow was synced via iAA with the same results. I just never realized how tight the IAA sync was. Wow!

Yes this is definitely an issue on my original iPad air, frightened the life out of me when I first discovered it, as the vibration is very noticeable on certain notes in apps such as thumbjam.

I compared an Air2 and an Air, side by side, in a store today. I didn't notice anything particularly off-putting about the sound from the internal speakers of the original Air but the Air2 sounded awful and felt shoddy as the back 'buzzed' in my hand. This sucks and makes me think 'design flaw' or 'manufacturing fault'. Either way, added to the iOS8 issues, I don't see myself rushing to upgrade soon - if at all
Speakers are a non issue for me given that headphones or my monitors are a must no matter what ipad I would use. I could not ever imagine listening through the speakers ever.

So does that mean your internal speaker volume is turned off permanently? I never use the internals for critical listening but I would and do use them for general auditioning on the go. I'd rather not have already sub-optimal audio further compromised by buzzing. Not too much to ask in such a 'premium' product, I'd have thought.
I never use the speakers either except for say Facetime, all the iPAd speakers sound bad to me.
Ipad Air 1 and 2 owners how well does CS Spectral run on your systems, are you able to run it efficiently, and how does running it on an air 2 compare with an air 1…
are you able to run everything, in stereo, is there crackling etc…. ???
Correct, I would not dream of listening to music and even begin to expect it to sound good through ipad internal speakers. I certainly would not be recording or editing with them either!
In fact I never had to even try them to know they would not be adequate for such things so I never had those false expectations.
Looks like they've really tried cutting it too thin this time...
What with the smaller battery, the screen distortion issue and the vibrations, it seems to be on the bleedin' edge...and perhaps beyond!
Still I'm sorely tempted by the high specs of the processing system. If only they'd have kept it at the original Air's thickness...it would still have been a great achievement, and a more solid device.
To be fair, these small issues are really inconsequential to me in light of how much I am enjoying the upgrade from a 32GB iPad 3 to the 128GB Air 2. Overall it is simply a fantastic tablet and I have zero regrets at this point about the purchase, especially as the iPad has become my most used device over the past 2 years (I don't have a smartphone).
Yes, I do agree, small things and they probably won't prevent me from upgrading as well, yet I do think it would have been even better still if they'd kept it at the previous Air dimensions.
They could have kept the missing button as well, avoiding that controversy too, but it's something I'm not using either, yet for some it will count as another drawback.
Sometimes a concept can be driven too far...but new Apple praw-ducts (As Tim Cook would say) often raise these kinds of issues and it doesn't seem to hurt them...
The internal speakers can be great for mixing levels.

I went ahead and traded in my mini retina yesterday for the air 2 and so far I'm really enjoying it. I had an air that I gave to my girlfriend and kind of wanted to return to the larger form factor. Been messing around today (mostly in gadget and a couple other apps) and didn't have any major issues that I wasn't already experiencing with my mini on ios 7. I did notice the speakers sounded different, but that doesn't bother me at all as I'm always running it through an interface. I'm a happy camper, no complaints so far. Really dig the touch id too.
Can anyone ipad air2 user ,test AB2 and IAA for multicore performance? I opened a thread some days ago but did not get sufficient feedback. It seems all apps run in one core (on AB2/IAA). Today I launched on my poor ipad3 every app I could(in standalone) and saw the cpu meter going above 50% with no crackles (actually almost 100%) until no RAM left...So it's definitely has to do with how AB2 and IAA works...
My point is ,old devices can gain a 30% boost by a "simple" software hack (not simple but doable)

Speaking of Auria, CPU, gfx performance etc...I remember Rim saying, pre-iOS7 days, that iPads just absolutely sucks at drawing lines. Which the Auria editor has quite plenty of, at times, given that's it's just so much more detailed then any other iDAW. It was relying on CPU to do it (and probably a nice chunk of RAM). He had to re-write a lot of it for iOS7 since that just messed it up completely (and a complete no-go on iPad 2's CPU).
The upcoming big update for Auria will have a completely rewritten editor as I understood it all, keeping the same level of detail, but a huge boost in performance, making it all a smooth trip, apparently. So I'm guessing he's either performed some magic mojo again, or is tapping into the GPU in some way or another. It'll also have two UIs/skins as well, the new and the classic look. Really looking forward to see it in action.
@ChrisG thanks for the info, sounds very interesting can't wait!
I think I'm holding off too. Although, I think I'm gonna sell my mini retina 16 gb for as much as I can to help fund a 64 gb. Air 2. This 16 gb (which is actually more like 11 gb) is just not enough space to do anything. It's actually annoying having to constantly move shit around. 64 gb. Should fix that.
So if I can get $220 for my mini retina, $380 ain't too shabby for a 64 air 2.

It's not just IAA/AB, it's Core Audio/iOS. Apps can be forced to use both cores by animating UIKit elements on the screen (like a UIButton turning on and off via the setSelected method). Same thing happens when you start touching buttons and scrolling through scrollviews on the screen. CPU usage drops by 50% and then goes back up again when you stop touching the screen. This might only work with Apple's own UIKit. iOS "turns on" the other core when the interface is moving to keep things running smoothly I guess.

I was curious what you guys made of the speakers on the Air 2. I got one myself a couple of days ago and I've been struggling to get used to the device vibrating so much while listening / playing games / playing music. Using ThumbJam yesterday was rather odd as I played down the notes, towards the bottom some notes caused vibrations and others didn't. Speaker is very boomy and I find it needs to be buffeted (like by a case) to sound reasonable. Portrait without a case I find is horrible.
Everything else about the device is a massive step up from the iPad 4.
Speaker doesn't bother me at all, the Air1 was more or less the same way. I only use it when watching movies in bed or something, never for music work, so really not an issue for me.
Distortion and vibration at high volume, how the screen resonates (perceptually) to the notes played in thumbjam are dependant on how you have your ipad's speaker side flipped in regard to the scale and the instrument played. Test it with TE Bb clarinet in Thumbjam for example.
I dont use the internal speakers much either, but this poduct has a good idea to be able to keep the volume level down when using the internal speakers, http://www.amazon.com/Targus-MediaVu-Sound-Enhancing-Stand-THZ473US/dp/B00OBA5REE havent tried it yet though.
I like the way the speakers vibrate. It feels alive. The Air 2 is rather amazing to use. It's very fast and solid. I'm amazed every time I use it...
I would like one speaker on each side of the iPad in Landscape vs. the stereo pair on the bottom of Portrait.
I Upgraded. It was a natural choice.
Before it was released I was unsure as a minor increase in performance would be offset by the price tag.
But I was pleasantly surprised by the modifications: Greatly reduced reflections, and increased screen rigidity; Greatly increased performance and double memory.
The über thin thing I could live without though ; )
So you get squirrelly vibrations, and flex.
Also, it's dimmer than the previous Air, which is understandable as they do use aggressive antiglare. Since i'm using this more in my Auto now, this isn't an issue, where it normal would be an issue, albeit minor.
All in All, it's really come into it's own for Audio. Which of course, makes me happy : )
Thanks for your thoughts, I'm still umm'ing and ah'ing about what I'm doing with it. Part of me wants to keep it, part of me wants to return it and part of me wants to try exchanging it once.
I was twiddling with Alchemy last night and it does make the speakers distort around 60-70% (it requires a bit higher than that on my iPad 4, but then the sound is quite different there)

Totally this! I use my iPad 95% in Landscape mode.
