I went on an iPad adventure back in 2020. I have a serious aversion to restrictive computer environments and planned obsolescence, but I had some cash and it looked like a great deal.
Bought the USB dongle CCK (ran all over town to find one). Bought all kinds of dinky Audio Units to hopefully build a productive workflow. Bought an old Behringer UCA thingie to use as a mobile interface (it didn't work).
The only things I remember finishing were in GarageBand, ThumbJam, or bismarck.
My iPad accidentally became roadkill in 2022, and only a fraction of my data made it into iCloud. 😞

Feels like The Crunge.

[@ZaxDrumsandGolf]

Sounds good and it is cool all the stuff a little iPad can do!!👍😀 What if you used the Logic for iPad that would probably work?

[@demonicsweaters]

Yeah, Logic should work! I don't see why not!

Hello dude, this is great and really helped me get out of a sticky situation with my band when my laptop went down. I'm not sure you mentioned but I wondered how you found monitoring and latency? I used my (pretty old) iPad and 16x08 to run clicks and tracks at a gig, but had to set the latency pretty high to keep performance smooth. It wasn't a problem since we didn't monitor through the device, but it got me wondering if a newer iPad would solve the issue, or if the interface itself would limit performance potential in any way (looking to upgrade my iPad at the moment). I hope that makes sense - great video

[@demonicsweaters]

Hmm, that's a good question. I can get the latency very low on my computer and even set my buffer as low as 16 without glitches, but I'm not sure on the ipad. I also know the device can do direct monitoring, but I actually am not sure how to make that work on iPad, since you have to do it on the control panel for the app in Windows. What software were you using for the backing tracks?

[@JoeInkpenMusic]

​@@demonicsweatersthanks for this! Yeah I found the same thing, on my pc the monitoring is great because of the control panel but not sure if there is one for iPad. The rig for the gig was pretty last minute but I just ran the clicks through cubasis sent to one output for the desk and 6 others for us playing. Monitoring through cubasis was understandably more intensive though in rehearsal we did get it to a manageable level, albeit pretty sketchy with frequent skips and dropouts! So I guess I'm just trying to figure out if it's the iPad itself taking on all of that processing responsibility - because if so a new one might cope ok (or until I figure out a more elegant solution)..!
