I've produced two albums and done quite a few remixes on mine. Trying hard not to sound like a dick here, but if you pick up an iPad and all you can think to do with it is watch YouTube it seems weird to blame the iPad for that.
- whycome 1y agoCan you share your stack? What hardware are you using if you're doing vocal/instrument inputs?
- drcongo 1y agoI don't do vocals, so hardware is a TD-3, a Roland T-8, TB-03, Arturia MiniFuse 4 as the audio interface, Arturia MiniLab keyboard / controller and various Intech controllers (highly recommended). I believe the MiniFuse would do your vocal inputs pretty well. Even with all that though, I do 99% of it directly in Logic on the iPad, sometimes 100%.
- runjake 1y agoPoint noted. For me, I find too much friction and distraction using the iPad for creative. Sure, I'll do something in a pinch, but there's just something about it where I can't focus on non-consumption activities. I'm not sure what it is about the iPad -- maybe the physical ergonomics? It's kinda hard to position comfortably for focus.
- drcongo 1y agoI specifically use my iPad for the music because it's not the MBP I spend all day on for work. I'm sure there's music stuff that would be much easier to achieve on the laptop than the iPad, but the second I open my laptop I'm basically on-call and the distractions too great - the separation helps. Do agree with the ergonomics point though - it can be hard to spend a lot of time actually working on it.
