ABSTRACT
The class of systems that have affected the audio production community in a very direct way are the iOS range of devices from Apple. Apple has had a long history of dealing with properly implementing audio into their operating systems. Over the years, iPads have gotten powerful enough and apps have been written that allow an entire session to be transferred from our main workstation to a multitrack DAW on the pad. In addition to the many practical uses that are listed above, another huge contribution that iOS and mobile computing technology has made to music production is the pad's ability to serve as a DAW remote control. Full sets can be easily pre-programmed or performed on-the-fly from an iPad or iPhone, especially when used in conjunction with external control hardware. Naturally, there are tons of additional accessories that can be added to customize the look and functionality of your iOS device.
