Never had any problems with windows and a good sound interface.So if you can connect a sound interface into a windows tablet and it supports multitouch its a go go.
This...
what's your sound card Dave?
I havent used a soundcard yet, just the headphones I used to use with my iPad Air 2.
TBH I just downloaded asio4all and the latency is fine now as I can choose between 64 to 512 samples with no issues.
So now finally all latency and onboard multitouch control restraints are sorted in terms of my use case.
It really is seriously refreshing to use Ableton & Reason on a tablet with multi touch and the power and functionality of a desktop.
Good times
@davemagoo. For the sake of clarity it looks like you bought the surface PRO 3 not the surface 3. Am I right?
Yeah Surface Pro 3
Dude! Stop it! You're making me jealous. And it's too expensive.
Just been teasing myself with various demos....
...this ones a beast....(along with the price!)

Try Hive.... awesome synth and low on CPU. Sylenth1 on steroids. This would be great on iPad
what looks better to you guys the surface 3, pro, or specter 360?
Blimey, makes my internal debate about spending £18 on Cyclops and £15 on iM1 a bit silly.
After trouble with my tools..... buying a lot of stuff and reading this thread again i thought about how i started. I really think about often lately to sell all my stuff again including my desktop tools, iPad and some useless midi keyboards and start from zero with just an iPhone as Galaxyexplorer.... where it all started. For some reason all this things made me not happy and the fun is over. After some time reality comes and you know that your music goes nowhere. So why put to much into it if i was more happy with an iPhone and a few apps. Maybe i have a brain fart but it's how i feel
You're always going to have an issue somewhere along the line - when I started with an MS20 and tape echo the tape would slip and go out of tune, and the MS20 had a thing where it'd randomly apply portamento. Then there was my crackly Roost valve cab, and I won't even begin to go into the horrors of casette-based multitracking...
Then came the Amiga with it's 10k or whatever sample space, followed hotly by 20 years of PC based music making latency and missing driver madness....and then the randomness of iOS.
I can honestly say in 30-odd years of music making the only hassle free system I've had has been using Logic X on the Mac.
I do get fed up with trying to solve problems on the iPad, or buying apps that don't work the way they're supposed to - today's purchase of IAP's for iM1 for example don't show up in Gadget. Bugs everywhere. But when you consider what it does do....it's all worth it in the end.
Logic Pro X and some of my plug-ins ar working not well together. Logic crash a lot last time. Apple software is crap last months. So i have nearly the same trouble now as i have on my iPad. In the short time i make music i had nearly no problems with my iPhone 4 and some apps. Sure, instruments like Omnisphere 2, Dune 2, Zebra HZ etc. sounds amazing and i think it will talke many years until we could use such quality synths on iPad/iPhones but it's not always about quality of sound. Sadly it's so hard to forget about those tools and i would miss them for sure after a while. I only can repeat it again..... i damn wish i never had left the hardcore mobile iPhone musician way
When i bought the iPad my music died slowly....
I've had Logic on the Mac for a few years now, and never had a crash. Probably your plugins - when you're mixing together a bunch of disparate products you're bound to have occasional issues. Or could be the OS, or the Mac. As I say I've never had a problem with it, despite running resource hogs such as Maschine (plus all that ones related plug-ins) and it's hardware controller through it.
@Cinebient @monzo
I hear ya both, I started out on Amiga using samples and a tracker, then onto an A3000 and some outboard gear but then flogged the lot when skint and ended up with a basic studio desk PC rig with a Novation 25Sl and automap etc...was really enjoying production....
....Then the new baby came along and the studio was painted pink....and was no more.....then came the iPad...then Audiobus...the answer to my space constraints was here!
....Then 4 iPad generations later the evolution tumbles along at a slow and steady pace getting stuck here and there....no proper daw still....
...then came this thread and the surface pro 3 entered my consciousness and the Air 2 is now history....
...I now feel my imagination is the limit again.....good times are back....i can even load my old Ableton live projects (mostly)......i may even get a 25sl again..:)
Maybe it's because my retina MacBook Pro.... these seems to be "bitches"! It's the same with the new iPads and iOS. Give my iOS 6 back and i'm happy. F...... with all the other things. Maybe i try a new project called extrem mobile musician where i create my tracks while skydiving, on the rollercoaster, on the top after climbing a mountain etc..... oh yeah.... i'm full into midlife crisis ;D
GalaxyExplorer made a strong case for the amazing possibilities and potential of iPhone only music. If it also made you happier and more productive with your music... what are you waiting for? ;-)
I even thought about to stop it at all with music since i just dig around and play trough million of sounds and patches. It's bad for my back and my soul last time. Maybe NanoStudio 2 can save me one day again
this is why I don't believe in an exclusive way of doing music, a hybrid system is what's best (for me)imho cause we're all human beings and it's impossible for us to just feel one way, just like we can't feel only one emotion. When I'm on the computer it doesn't feel like being on an iPad, which in turn doesn't feel like being on my hardware, but I'm drawn to all of those types of work flow and allot of times in the same day.
Nanostudio 2.....now that could be awesome.....
....although more and more I now feel like I did when I watched that lighthouse scene in 'Shutter Island'...where they tell him he is really a mental patient and not a detective...
...like I've been snapped out of a delusional state in thinking that the iPad was the absolute way forward for me if only the app would do 'this' or the iOS would do 'that' only to find out that the Surface Pro was there with the answer all this time
Each to their own i guess.
I wish someone would create a vst wrapper for iOS apps....now that would be awesome..
But are there any multi-touch optimized apps like in iOS? On my MacBook Pro 15" i find many controls too small and i never could use them via finger. For me a simple solution would be to use just iOS on my mac. However, i'm at a point where i think to buy a large desktop as workstation and go further or left this whole shit alone. It's true that iOS is still only great when you use a single app (or maybe 2-3). Also iOS has still no "full" browser. On my mac it's a joy to layer 10 or more intances of different synths into one huge sequence. Yesterday i used ThumbJam to control Omnisphere 2, Sample Tank 3, Some VSL strings, Zebra HZ and Dune 2 at the same time plus using the mod wheel from my masterkeyboard and i got instant goosebumps! I think my problem is just most things i do end in an obsession
So sometimes it's better to not start something...... oh well, i always wanted to climb a mountain 
I am still struggling to find the lack of multitouch optimised apps a limitation.....the surface pro comes with a pen (stylus) that works with precision and ease whilst navigating Ableton and any vst's, it gives an fresh sense of direct composition....once I found a custom zoom setting that worked for me certain elements can be touched with ease.
In terms of live playing on the same device ie: tapping out drum parts of playing some chords etc, I found Xotopad to be the solution I was looking for to keep it untethered and completely mobile.
In all honesty I am really happy with the thing and have not turned my iPad on since I got it, which considering I never spent a day without using my iPad since getting the iPad 3 at launch and upgrading on release date right through to iPad Air 2 and spent a fair was on apps is really telling.
Tbh each to their own but I have now found a setup perfect for me (if a little expensive) that just works...
....which I am truly grateful for.
....that said I will be keeping an eye out for the iPad pro for sure
From the money you spend on an iPad Air 2, with 128gb, you could buy Windows Surface Pro 3. Then load all your Daws, Vst, perfect midi, use external Hardrive, ect. I don't think Apple gives a Sh%$ about us too much for making music? If I remember hearing Tim Cook preaching at a conference(last year)that IOS8 will have a even better Audio, better this, better that....... Blah, Blah, Blah( which looked like for us music producers would have a better time at last)........ But no!..... Crap from the start!... I felt sorry for the Devs who had to patch up there apps for us to work properly in IOS 8. This is the reason Microsoft has done well with the Surface Pro 3. Now if Apple got there finger out, & made the iPad Pro a hybrid IOS & Mac, then they maybe onto a winner? If not, they may drown, when Surface Pro 4 comes out? If I had the money now, it would be Surface Pro 3.
Ill hope that you can connect a good sound interface with real asio drivers,because asio4all still got high latency if you wanna use it with external midi hardware.
shudder
And how much for "all your Daws, Vst" +software synths, effects etc.? I'm guessing a bit more than Auria and some synth and effect apps.
I've probably spent 'hundreds', on my ipad music apps, compared to many 'thousands' on Windows versions. You can't slag off iOS as a platform by comparing it to another which would cost you ten times more to replicate. They're two completely different things.
I'm not slagging off iOS. If I did, I wouldnt of bought two of them. I'm slagging mainly at Apple bullshit. Our iPads have so much Potential, but they are being restricted by there creators. I emailed them about a year ago, why didn't they make the USB charging cable to used the iPad could be used as a midi controller. If it can charge, send data/music/ pics, ect, to there MacBook, or Windows, why couldn't a piece of code be made so send a standard midi clock/ code, ect. They said it could never be done...... Now you can via Secret Base Design, & music IO. Please don't get me wrong, but i feel restricted in what I can do on the iPad, when it could do so more. So I often have to revert into going back to the old PC, to do remixes for certain companies.
Oh by the way. If I was a pirate...... All my software on the Pro 3 would be cracked & free..... But I'm not...... Aha Jim lad..... Drop the sails..... Lol
You can't get a surface pro for same money as IPad.
Surface 3 non pro is comparable but has smaller screen than pro. Weaker chip. And less storage than pro
This threads gone off on a tangent by comparing surface 3 pro to IPad imho.
