I presume cellular connectivity is not a requirement in our case. Pay USD 649 (USD 150 over base model) for a 256GB iPad Air.Pay USD 549 (USD 150 over base model) for a 256GB iPad Mini.Pay USD 429 (USD 100 over base model) for a 128GB iPad.Looking beyond the base models presents the following choices: If you use the tablet for gaming and productivity alongside music, then you will benefit from the added muscle. We’re talking a USD 170 premium for only twice the storage and a faster chip that you don’t really need for music apps.
Some music apps fill the touchscreen with controls (knobs, faders, buttons, etc.) which means you will see less of them at once, or they will be smaller and more difficult to use. However, an 8-inch screen will feel cramped compared to a 10-incher. The iPad Mini is a terrific little bugger with the ‘big boy’ chip and twice the iPad’s storage for just USD 70 on top.Add a bit of “casual use” content like books, games and multimedia, and you will run out of space in no time. The iPad has a great screen and the lowest price, but 32GB storage is barely enough considering the wealth of music apps available, not to mention any app expansions and sound files you will amass.I have the following problems with these base model configurations: Starts at USD 499 for the base model, which offers a 10.5-inch display, A12 Bionic chip, and 64GB of storage (effectively around 58GB).

Splurging on an iPad Pro for music production only makes sense if:Ī) You have mission-critical USB-C gear in your mobile setup.ī) You require up to a terabyte of storage for the insane amount of music you churn out with your tablet, or 10-inch screens feel cramped.Ĭ) You have the bank balance of an oil tycoon.All iPads are rated at up to 10 hours of battery life, regardless of the processor. The A12 chip in the other models basically gets you future-proofed and sneaking in a game or two during breaks. Elderly as it is, I doubt you will come close to maxing it with just music apps. The lowest you can go with a present-gen iPad is the A10 Fusion chip. Processing power is not a major deciding factor.This isn’t “how to choose an iPad.” This is “how to choose an iPad for music production.” If you want to squeeze in gaming, movies, work and anything else an iPad is good at besides making music, your needs are different.There are simply too many variables when buying used, though feel free to use this information on the hunt for a finely aged iPad.
