“You know how the iPad is a consumption device, like a kind of digital baby spoon? And that Apple’s tablet computer can’t be used for ‘real work?'” Charlie Sorrel reports for Cult of Mac. “Well, Grammy award-winning music producer Henny Tha Bizness disagrees. He uses the iPad exclusively to make music. He also thinks that in a decade, if you haven’t switched to iPad for music production, you’ll be left behind.”
“Henny loves the iPad because it’s immediate,” Sorrel reports. “It takes him back to when he was 18 years old, and could just jam out with music ideas instead of futzing with the tools the whole time.”
“His main app, which he’s demoed in lots of other videos, is Blocs Wave, a loop-sampling and triggering app,” Sorrel reports. “It lets you quickly build song ideas from your own recordings, as well as grabbing loops from its store.”

A fanboi who manages to have an argument before anyone has yet said anything! Sheesh.
Makes a nice change for somebody to make a remark before one of the whiner trolls. Are they just sitting in their mommys’ basements waiting for every new post?

you are the poster child for the iPad as computer replacement argument
thank you for that
😉
yes everything is becoming play time in baby land.
I think iOS will creat some new stars but it will be a shallow cardboard sound once the simplicity of it is over used and om confident iPad iOS music apps will push artist away from this surge of simple looping music and hopefully the more creative artist will dig deeper to make a richer pallet and productions in the pro apps.
All professionals know when they need to really do professional work with real control, they will need the power of the professional applications like Logic Pro on a laptop or pro computer. iPad is still a limited toy and a great side kick but its not a real computer when side by side with a real computer.

“will need the power of the professional applications like Logic Pro on a laptop or pro computer”
Everyone knows REAL Pros are using real to real 4 track. This whole DAW thing is a shallow cardboard sound because the simplicity of it is way overused.
DAW’s are just a cool toy for those that are afraid of REAL music production.
Maybe in 10 years or more. iPad is “perfect” if you’re producting copy/paste sample looped of what they call “music”, when you’re at bed or on the move in cars and planes. Professionals use ProTools, sometimes Logic or Ableton, on MacPro 2x 2,66GHz 6Core from 2010, although are very fast migrating to Windows PC, for the reasons that everyone knows.
The great masters of music as we know them today did NOT use Logic, Pro Tools, or Ableton. They used their instruments, their skill, and their microphones. If you NEED a Mac to create music, you’re not a professional musician.
Musicians have their abilities on artistic expression playing an instrument or singing live, no news about that. But they all, ALL, produce, register and record their music on computers and DAW apps (DIgital Audio Workstation) nowadays, being that personal or in the studio, no matter if it’s the guy in neighborhood, NY hiphop or Deutsche Grammophon.
Tell me, which DAW did Elvis use? Which DAW did The Beatles use? I’ve always been curious about which DAW Queen used as well. Seeing as how computers were not in common use in the days they became famous, I’m REALLY interested in what DAW they would have used.
“Elvis”, “Beatles” (sigh…) used the technology they had at their time to PRODUCE music. You miss the point of this thread, Mr. Wrong, that is how “revolutionary” (as Apple wants us to believe) is PRODUCING music on iPad, which today could only be a promise tool at best, while professionals uses the best technology they have, at any time, to PRODUCE. It seems your intention is only vain confront. Got it or not, no more arguments for the moment.
There’s a Grammy winning music producer who’s words I’d give more weight than Ms. Gaz Anonymous-Internet.
Anyone who things every producer uses the BEST technology has obviously never worked in the industry. They use the technology they can afford that will capture their audio for distribution. And, if the tools they had back before you were born were “good enough”, then an iPad Pro most certainly is.
