  • I like where the Surface is going as an alternative and I read elsewhere that Microsoft has made it easier for developers to port applications from ios and Android. But until they do I still prefer to have an ipad and a laptop/desktop. When/if there are touch screen designed versions of DAWs like Pro tools then it will be more appealing..

    I wish all these great music app developers would port all their software to Android and windows so we would have more of a choice of platform and Apple would then have competition, Apple needs a kick up the iOS

  • Since i'm still hoping for the Alchemy 2 goodies inside Logic some day (f..... you apple) i can't switch anymore to windows since it will be mac only for sure. After playing with all those apps and tools there is no software which could replace this thing (funny that Mitosynth comes close here as only software from all i tryed including all my destop tools but it feels a bit wasted on my limited iPad).

    I think the Surface Pro is quite a cool machine. I like my iPad and all the apps, but proper sequencing isn't possible on this platform - imho. ( Auria, Cubasis... No, it's not the real thing ;-)
    surfaceproaudio.com is a nice blog with good videos, the guys seems to have the same thoughts as a lot of us here: iOS being too constrained - too many flashy apps, not enough (semi)professional sequencing software.

    In one of his videos he said that too many DAW-developers waste time and money in developing apps instead of making their desktop-DAWs "touchable". I think he's got a strong point there.
    I would love to use Reaper, Ableton or Reason 100% touchable on a tablet ( or a touch monitor at home ), I wouldn't need my iPad any longer.

    Say what you want about Microsoft, but at least they're doing something in the field of touch technology. And Apple? Nice new MacBook, très chic, retina, light and powerful. And with a ultramodern... trackpad...

    I have to agree here 99%.
    Even some proper (native) remote apps would be great. But most of the desktop tools are living in medieval of the 3rd dimension ;) Keyboard was yesterday :D

    monzo Yes, Procreate is great. I have the the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus - the first one, and I'm quite happy with it. But I also have one of the cheapest Wacom Bamboo tablets for my laptop and it just is better. I expect the Cintiq to be as good or better and the Surface to be not as good but still better than the iPad with a pressure sensitive stylus.

    I've got a recent Intuos I use for work - it's great but I find Procreate much more fun for immediate ideas - even without pressure sensitivity. I don't know much about the Surface thing, but to be honest I'm trying to escape from the Windows platform after 15 years of it!

    I think I'd be more interested in the iPad Pro for artwork, even though I have the Air 2 it could still be a great platform for digital painting.

  • Yeah, girlfriend and me went shopping this morning. In a store I've tried one these:

    http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/desktops/ideacentre/horizon-series/horizon-2/

    This and a fully touchable DAW... but I'm dreaming ;-)

    But it's already cool running your favorite DAW on a touchscreen like this. Most of the basic functions are touchable already, but for the more fiddly operations you'll need keyboard/mouse, grrr.

  • By the looks of things the surface 3 is a glorified netbook with tablet functionality. With that said I've used a netbook running FL Studio 8/9 and ableton live lite to make music.. It's not ideal but gets the job done.

    What separates the Surface from a netbook is TOUCH. The only thing missing is 100% touch-compatible DAW software for this device. Once developed I would prefer it over my iPad anytime.

    Same here.. I would love to use Reason on it!

  • I have a surface pro 2 512gb and 8gb ram. It runs everything great no issues, the biggest problem is no touch interface for me fav daws, ie ableton. Bigwig and sonar work great!

  • Can the surface pro run Pro tools 10?...I have yet to hear about a tablet running Pro Tools.

    To whom are you addressing that question exactly?

  • @Tarekith said:
    Have you looked at the Launchpad app? It's basically a version of session view in Live, complete with native launchpad mini support.

    with no follow actions to speak of. unfortunately yes I have it and it's the best so far outside of beatshuffler and this is really a shame, why are all of the grid apps only 'controllers' if novation added follow actions and an audio slicer they could tripple the price of that app.

    Ah never mind, I deleted my comment. I don't have the energy to go any deeper today and I may be too confused say what I mean coherently anyways.

  • I think the whole point is that you can run ableton on the damn thing, if you could run ableton on an iPad we wouldn't even be having this discussion

    @BigDawgsByte

    I see. Maybe the thread title is a little misleading. Just for the record: I have a ton of apps that I love, I woudn't even think of leaving iOS.

  • ....at least you can get 4GB RAM ;)

    probably true but the 4GB RAM/128 GB model even with the Surface Pen is still cheaper than the Air2 128GB

    ...... plus SSD and usb 3.0 and acess to all my data without i-tunes crap (damn i hate this still after all the years). And you can install ouside from app stores. The app store can be great but all the fremium shit everywhere and independent developers are have to fighting more and more..... not sure how it will go on. But still......no low latency real time playing music production apps. What the sad story is i think if apple would make such a device we would see maybe more desktop tools with also a touch optimized version (in a best way switchable) earlier.
    Can they not just put an iPhone 6 plus touch screen with full iOS as trackpad inside the next macbook pro..... that would be cool :-D

  • Thing is both these formats are not coming from the same direction, the iPad from the iPhone with it's years of building on touch usability not to mention ridiculous amounts of software. then Surface coming from the Desktop, Laptop direction, yes it has lots of software, but little that was developed with touch being the choice of interface, now if say Korg and a few others were to port their apps across, that maybe could cause enough interest for developers of desktop software, to start creating CPU optimised, touch enable versions of their software, for Surface.

  • Surface is an interesting target for developers, for sure.

    One problem I see is that every Surface is, essentially, jailbroken. The developer has to deal with the same piracy issues that plague plug-ins. I'm sure iOS piracy happens, but it's relatively rare.

    What do people want on the Surface? The same things Windows already has, only with better touch awareness?

    What would Korg Gadget look like on the Surface? Would it be a VSTi or a DAW? What would Korg have to charge to compensate for the piracy?

  • I agree piracy is a problem, but it's not stopped development on Windows, Gadget would look like Gadget, a start not an end, indeed is Gadget the same here as when it was released, the idea start with what we know works then build, optimise and integrate with what's is already great on desktops, if Surface is to survive and prosper this I feel is the thing it needs to do, this may also spur Apple into creating a real Pro iPad and not just trying to sell us Laptops as the step up to Pro.

  • Piracy has not stopped development on Windows, but it's one of the (many) drivers of price.

    This is really interesting....for the first time since buying my first ipad (3) (at launch and subsequently trading in for the next one at each launch) i am contemplating just keeping my iphone 6 and trading my ipad air 2 for a surface....hmmmm

    I agree. But i would not buy everything of my expensive plug-ins again. If i had to buy everything again via an iPad Pro app store...... no way. So however the hardware of the iPad Pro (if this mystic thing ever get real) will be..... iOS in the current form is totally wasted for such a device (sorry). We will see in a few months. Just a bigger screen doesn't do it. Then i would prefer the "normal" sized iPad Air 3 (which is maybe the only new big iPad this year).

  • But what if developers offered touch versions of plugins free with desktop versions? That should be possible, that could encourage people to pay the extra expense of desktop plugins, you get multi format versions, really like we do now AU, VST, AAX, Touch?

  • It will be interesting to see what happens.
