Using both mobile and desktop now that I have the icm2+. I could have saved some if I knew all the desktop to iOS apps were on the horizon.
Two very different things, neither can do what the other can well. I use the iPad for what it does best and my Mac for what it does best. Could I live with only either one? Of course I can, but I'd rather have both. I do believe that tablets will eventually replace most desktops, but not all.
I'm struggling with this dilemma right now as well. I'm an amateur and making music is not something I do for a living but it has become my favorite hobby. I have a 2013 iMac and an iPad 3. I've been contemplating upgrading to Logic Pro X being that I've gotten really familiar with GarageBand and I'm enjoying it. Or getting an iPad Air 2. Truth be told I would have done the latter in a heartbeat if the concerns about it hadn't arisen.
IPads have become a lot cheaper with demand for tablets going down (probably because people don't buy them as often as they do smartphones). If you wait about four months after a new generation is released you can get them really cheaply compared to what I purchased my iPad 3 for on launch day over three years ago. And going back another generation, in this case the iPad Air 1 gets you an even steeper discount.
But there's also something alluring about a complete, all in one, solution like Logic Pro X.
Or of course I could do nothing and just keep using what I have. The introduction of this MIDI over USB situation, and even perhaps the forthcoming Auria Pro, make it difficult to completely disregard the iPad entirely.
Too many choices out there! ;-)
My computer music obsession began on iPad (1) with synths and studio apps (studioHD! iSequence!) and then I moved (backward?/forward?) to pc DAWs and vst, then back and forth from then on...production in combination is a gas, swearing off one for the other is gas, learning things on one to use on the other is a gas...
Starting things on the iPhone that finish in Ableton or Bitwig cracks me up!
I began with a pencil, a biro, a felt-tip
and then became an incorrigible fountain pen man
(turquoise ink, the whole bit).
For my 18th birthday my father bought me an old Underwood,
clack clack clack, and for about two years I cut up wallpaper rolls,
fed them in there, pretty sure I was the West London coming of Kerouac.
A girlfriend stole an IBM Golfball. Wonders. Correcting ribbon. Posh.
Used to stay up late at night when I should have been in bed with her.
Only ever used two fingers, but got efficient.
A friend with money gave me my first word processor,
along with the best bit of advice I ever never listened to:
Don't start formatting until you've got all your stuff down.
For the past thirty years there's been a succession of wanting and buying
and it's amazing what I can do.
What I will be able to.
Wife's been away for a few days, sat down with a pencil last night.
Yellow pad, wrote a good poem, looks even better now all typed up.
The words are mostly the same.

I'm almost always entirely iOS but if a friend comes over to make music, I turn to Logic. If I have a grand idea and just want to get it recorded, I turn to Logic.

I consider the iPad the replacement for PCs - I have an old laptop I use solely for Vaz Modular- but for all other synth /DAW /audio editing/ mastering/ internet music/video management- I use the iPad-
For me the ipad has been a missing link, filled so many gaps I didn't realise I had in the studio, one thing that has changed is I don't sit at my studio desk anymore, ipad, laptop, sofa or dinning table.
@mister_rz I'm right with you. I sometimes long for a bit of control that my desktop offers then look up and realize I'm lying on the hammock in the backyard and working on a dreamy dirge as the dusk comes down around me and that I'm not looking for the moment but laying right there amongst it.
I spend all day sat in front of a PC/Mac, the last thing I want to do in my spare time is do more of it. So sitting in the armchair with a gallon of wine in one hand an an iPad in the other and noodling loops, or in a field surrounded by sheep terrified by the screams coming from my iMS20 is a better thing.
@monzo I am a very broad-minded fellow and, to be sure, one of the grand things of the informal convocation that is this forum is the wide variety of different folks with different interests who frequent the place, but I do note that an increasing number of your posts seem to involve farm animals.
@JohnnyGoodyear
Ah the hammock, got one years ago with the intention of setting it up as soon as I moved and got a garden, still in the wrapper, but hopefully this year I'll be setting it up with a refreshment table at arms length.
@monzo
If I was working in a field it would have to be free of them godless little fur balls, I had a bad experience once, whilst out picking mushrooms with my brother, which involved a stampede, screams and getting caught on a fence I tried to clear but landed short, with the horde still approaching at full pelt, but it is very nice being able to choose an inspiring environment with a nice portable setup.
@mister_rz
My top lip has started sweating, hopefully I won't have nightmares, I'll be safe so long as I have ims20 close by.
I virtually abandoned my laptop for a few years to mess around with iPad music apps. The immediacy is what drew me in and kept me around.
However, after using Korg Gadget for almost a year, I've come back to SunVox, which has lead me back to Renoise and SunVox on my laptop. Trackers are just easier to use with a real keyboard, obviously. I'd been using trackers since the late 90s before getting into iPad apps, so this feels like coming home after a long vacation.
I still like messing with iPad music apps but I dislike having to deal with hardware that rapidly ages with each iOS upgrade, and those upgrades breaking apps. I never had to worry about OS upgrades breaking Renoise in all the years I've been using it.
What did you do o get that reaction JGY?!? ;-)
@JohnnyGoodyear - we make our own entertainment in these parts
You wanna watch those mushrooms, I grew an extra face one time....

So i guess counting sheep is out of the question then?
The Shadow Committee is keeping an eye on you @Monzo. Cows, sheep and now we see your off in another corner invoking donkeys....
Are these the Apple Sheeps which bought the iPad Air 2? :P
...I love this "Black Sheep" film
Until you can stick Ableton on Ipad, it's just an extension of overall system for me.
@monzo
No extra face or pleasing third nipple that time round, as after the 'incident' we couldn't bring ourselves to carry on with the quest, plus our story didn't go down to well with the other hunting party, as they got rumbled by the fuzz on horseback no less.
@musikmachine
I have no problems visualising sheep as I can visualise a great distance, sheepdogs and a shotgun too, just sheep irl, it took a while to get over being emasculated by a herd of fluff balls, although to be fair I did make some friends with the sheep that wonder the brecon, they're like biker sheep who walk in the middle of the road and force cars to the side.
Brecon? That's near here. We've got hard biker sheep on the common here too. They're covered in poo and dags, tough and emanciated and just stand their ground in the middle of the road, hard staring out the cars
emanciated awesome conflation of emancipation and emaciation.....the whole phrase covered in poo and dags, tough and emanciated reminded me immediately of a Sixth Form dance in Hammersmith circa 1977. Happy (celibate) days....
Flipping iPhone predictive text shog - it changed emaciated to emancipation - as it's less endowed in the verbosity department than I am, and I didn't correct it fully. Probably due to the other iPhone posting irritant of the forum 'draft saved' message popping up and obscuring my text EVERY TEN SECONDS
I blame horses
Making music on iOS is a pain in every way, compared to my Cubase based DAW. But I "struggle" on cos it's a fun journey! I can understand people who use that Ableton mess of a DAW thinking otherwise though
