Good point. I have an M2 iPad 2022 and it delivers everything with extremely low latency. I can actually use Bluetooth keyboards (Korg MicroAir 61) without missing a beat. That iPad and the newer ones are great for intense gaming etc. it’s already overkill for music Edit: and say nothing of the compatibility issues which may crop up. Those poor developers
A new M4 13" iPad Pro with 16G of RAM and a 1T storage comes to the same price as a Macbook Pro M3 with16G of RAM and a 1T SSD. The Macbook is just as portable, has more ports and you can actually OWN Logic instead of renting it... Just saying...
@gr-os4gd Exactly. It all depends on your workflow and preferences. For instance, I often sketch my songs in GB on iPad (regular 9th gen) and do the real and final recording in Logic on a Mac Mini M1. That workflow is perfect for me. But it's different for everybody. Having those 2 options at the same price is something to consider and that's surely not a bad thing. 😀
@@Dt3kno And, as I said, it all depends on your workflow and preferences. I use GB on iPad for sketching the songs but do the real recording in Logic on Mac. And you can do the same thing using Cubasis on iPad and Cubase on Mac, If you use a different program, you'll obviously have different need. The main point is use what works for you so that you can work naturally and concentrate on the most important part... making the music. That's the final goal after all.
I bought an iPad Pro 11” 256GB M2 earlier this year and not a single app I use is pushing the M2 to its limits (Affinity apps, Octane X, NomadSculpt, Cleo3D, Cubasis 3, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Logic Pro and some impressive 3D games). The M2 iPad Pro is already overpowered. With the Logic Pro benchmark from Music Prod, I can run 66 (!!) tracks. Great 👍 video.
👍 thanks for the info. How's 256GB working out in terms of storage space? Would you rather have gone for a 512GB given all your apps and use cases? Thanks
@@sonickmoon No. 256GB is enough for me. I use an external SSD to store large sample libraries. I think 256GB is the minimum if you do anything creative on your iPad Pro.
Finally ready to upgrade my old 2015 iPad Pro 12.9! The 13" Air is looking like a win for me, don't need all the crazy features and also no way in hell I'm looking to spend £1300!
I think your recommendation is spot on. M1 Pros are frequently available at discount or available 2nd hand / refurb and are more than up to the task in 2024. And hopefully a little less painful on the wallet, especially if you want all the accessories which have all been replaced with new versions! Thanks for the concise and to the point video (as always)!
most of us are fine with what we have. go back to making music. let those that need it buy, do their thing and we all can be happy. thanks for attending my Ted Talk. stay safe.
Been watching plethora of reviews of that 🍏events the whole day... However, THIS IS THE ONE I was waiting for - Thanks Patrick! 🤗 Sadly, no lurv from 🍏 for the ipad mini ... 😒
I'm not a Apple guy so this very well could be wrong. I read recently that, at least the last ipad mini 6, was announced alongside the iphone 13. Mind you so was the ipad 9 and yet it was showcased with the new ipad pro and air this time around. Point is, there's still hope.
bought the iPad Air (used to have a laptop) and trying to get back into using garageband and maybe upgrade to Logic2. For the life of me cannot fine a good answer as to how to avoid latency while recording audio tracks. where using an Audio interface or going direct with a mic into the iPad, there is no where for a hardwired headphone input/output. I tried my Bluetooth earbuds and that is a disaster. Any advise?
I make my music on an iPad 10th Gen, and it feels like I'm fighting my device. I have enough money to shell out on the m3 MacBook air. I'm sold because of the included Dolby Atmos mixing, although I feel that Logic for iPad is still as good.
I just wish there were better midi drums. Along the lines of GGD or EZdrummer. These ipads have been more than capable of handling them for a few years now. It's the only thing really stopping me from pulling the trigger on getting one.
I’ve noticed a weird bug in GarageBand and I’m curious if this is something that’s known or perhaps there’s a fix. It seems to only occur with a bass track. When I press play, the bass track doesn’t kick in until 2 bars late. Hard to explain, but basically all other tracks play when they’re supposed to but the bass track doesn’t play until it’s about 2 bars in.
Is it a MIDI bass recording? Could be that the MIDI notes are triggering a little before the first beat of the first bar in your project. Try opening the editor and resizing the notes?
I'm on an 2020 iPad Pro but I'm pretty much moving away from audio production on the iPad and won't be buying another one...at least not for audio production...Dont get me wrong..I love what can be done and all the apps we have for music production..but Im just completely over having just one port...its just became too much of a pita...Yes..I know we have dongles but even still...sometime they stop working like they did when you update your OS..trying to use a midi keyboard controller...audio interface and charge your iPad at the same time is just too problematic..and I just can't see myself spending like $1600 an upwards for a device with one port..thats ridiculous...I bought an M3 Max 14 inch MacBook Pro and Arely touch my iPad for audio production and when I do its still a 50/50 chance theres going to be an issue with its seeing my hub and interface etc and charge at the same time. Plus putting all that wear and tear on one port can definitely lead to that port needing to be replaced like with my old iPad Air 2...one port just doesn't cut it for me anymore
QUESTION: I have a 2 years old iPad Air and a Scarlett interface which I connect using a camera adapter. I use Garage Band to record my music. It works well unless I have to use a condenser microphone. In that case the 48V phantom power of the Scarlett doesn't work. Is there a way to make it work? Is there a device for a small price that I can buy to make it work? Thanks for your replies.
I’ll be interested to see how many concurrent instances of Mariana my new M4 iPad will be able to handle. 😀 With AUM still not supporting multicore, it may not be much more than before. But I’m expecting I’ll get more with Logic. I’d agree that the M4 is probably overkill for most iPad musicians, but since my iPad is my primary computing device, I felt it was worth going for the top-of-the-line.
@@TheGaragebandGuide LOL, triggered channel starts attacking viewers. Now, that shows what kind of person you are. Your parents should send you back to etiquette school.
