Re: IPad........ how do you use it?
I can be a little pissy about latency. I hear that bluetooth connectivity is less draggy. Apollo does that. However, I'm mostly just direct into the iPad with that little keyboard.

Re: IPad........ how do you use it?
I found that the iPad 1 still has enough "oomph" to easily run the Strobosoft tuner. I'm seriously considering getting a mount to attach it to my guitar rig and have a very large guitar tuner. You can probably get a used iPad 1, iRig, and Strobosoft app for less than a rack mount tuner.stubbsonic wrote:It sounds like an iPad1 still proves useful. Perhaps for the technophile it becomes the iPad you take on the canoe trip and you leave your shiny new one at home.

Sweetwater just send me an ad for this thing

Looks like a cool thing to travel with it would be nice if they would do something like this that would take a 2.5" drive in it to record to.

Re: IPad........ how do you use it?
The only reason I would avoid the mini has to do with the size of on-screen type-size & controls. As it is with the regular sized iPad, there are a few apps where the controls on the screen are tiny enough to be a little hard to touch them with my fat fingers.

Tell you what... one thing that I really want is a MIDI Mobilizer so I can back up the contents of memory of various devices and restore from my iPhone.

Re: IPad........ how do you use it?
I use it to do the NY Times crossword every day. Cheaper to buy the app for $17/yr than subscribe through the Times. Works great, although I still do Sunday on the hard copy, since the grid is kinda small on the iPad. Would never go back now. I think doing the crossward is like playing scales with words.

Re: IPad........ how do you use it?
I just got the iPad Mini Retina. Love the size. It suits me much better than the air. The full size iPads always seemed too bulky, but to each his or her own. I plan on picking this interface up soon.

Connects to the lightning port (with adapter) and provides MIDI AND audio pass thru, basically turing your iPad into a plug in inside DP or any other DAW. Check the Sonic State review...
