Most people think you need an iPad Pro to make serious music on iPad.
I’m not so sure anymore.
I've been testing the new M4 iPad Air and… it gets very close...

Recording usually means a mic, an interface, cables, and a bit of setup time.
This replaces all of that with one device.
I've been testing the HISONG AirStudio S1 this week and it’s a *very* different way of working...

On iPad, we’ve got some seriously good options when it comes to piano sounds.

GarageBand for iPhone looks like it only gives you 8 bars to work with.
There is a simple feature called Song Sections that lets you extend your project almost indefinitely and organise it into proper parts like intro, verse and chorus.
Here's how it works: youtu.be/fdQQD7bihgE?...
Most people know about Logic Pro for iPad’s Drummer, but the Session Bass Player is just as powerful...
You can generate basslines automatically, control phrasing and groove, and even convert everything to MIDI.

I adore this game.
Most people use Logic Pro for iPad’s Session Drummer, but very few actually use what it can really do.

I’ve been testing something this week that might completely change how we mix on headphones.
Full video lands on Friday... you don't want to miss it.
