The iPad is really (which I have two of) a toy by comparison. Don’t get me wrong...I like the iPad, but it’s not designed for serious recording, if that’s what you want to accomplish.

I totally disagree with the ipad being a toy..
While PC's are more and better suited for indepth (studio) recordings.
Many of the ipad apps cover much more then just the basics of professional recording.

Where IPad currently blows away the PC platform, is in creativity. There are so many small creative tools that can all be combined trough audiobus 3, that as a creative platform the Ipad has passed the PC platform in many ways.

actually i am verry much surprised there isn't any arranger apps yet on the ipad. Because thats really the only thing i am missing.

Current Ipad pro has more processing power then an intel i7, its a real powerhouse. Espescially when connected to a keyboard that functions as uadio/usb interface.



The video shows how much variety the ipad apps have..
It turns the ipad in to one big Reason Daw where it comes to workflow..


Now thee are some things where i prefer the mac (not the pc)
I am currently in the process of upgrading my 2011 macbook pro to a 2018 Mac mini. Where i will use my ipad pro as the screen.. so i have everything in my setup controlled from a convenient ipad touchscreen.



The mac mini will be the ultimate sound module, running mainstage and my VST's all creativity will come from the ipad and its apps and be controlled from the kronos

I can understand your opinion about the PC, but that is mostly because of your traditional workflow. Which makes sense to you and for you, so no need to change anything, as it works for you.

I have been diving deep into the ipad lately, and been reading up on how the youth uses the ipad creatively. And i came to the conclusion that its incredibly flexible to do just about anything music related you want. But, the workflow is less efficient, because you will be using several things/apps all at the same time.
