Part of a musician "workstation" is already an ipad (or more). It's question of time, IMHO.

- handrous 5y agoAs a musician's tool, it's hard to beat a computer that fits neatly on a music stand and lasts all day on battery.
- yurishimo 5y agoEh, it depends on what kind of work you're doing within the music industry. Solo studio tracking artist? Yeah, an iPad is probably good enough for you to practice with and do some rough scratch recordings for demo purposes. If you're running a studio, you need the I/O to handle at least a few physical devices with dedicated PCIe lanes, and a high resolution input device like a mouse or trackpad to make precise edits in a DAW. Plus a keyboard. Audio/video editors love their keyboard shortcuts just as much as developers! While it may be possible to connect any one of those devices to an iPad, connecting all of them and making it easy to disconnect the iPad, makes it impractical in reality. The iPad in it's current format is not a great device for professional audio recording and mixing, and if you changed the format to better fit that workflow, you've now described a Mac Mini and you should buy one of those instead.
