I was all in on GarageBand on my 2013 ipad Air, but finally was convinced to upgrade to a new M1 iPad Pro. I'm pretty upset about it. Garage Band is essentially abandonware at this point and things that used to work (like coreUSB midi) don't work anymore. Like, they broke it and don't care about fixing it. They'd rather I was using Logic, which doesn't have an ipad version (it has a nice controller app which is not the same thing). The app store is a joke, full of scammy ad supported junk. It used to have lots of very expensive (but extremely usable) apps. Now its a wasteland. I tried some of the DAWs and music production stuff and it all feels like windows 98 BS. I've switched to an old mac book and have given up on the pad as a moble production rig. SmartStrings on the iPad is a magical instrument. My brother recorded, produced, and mixed two whole albums on his iPhone while it effortlessly drummed along to his playing. What happened to the momentum that was there for iOS to be a useful professional production tool? Lol, and forget using that fancy M1 to compile anything ever 'cause iPadders arent allowed to use xCode.
