Why the Apple iPad Is Essential for Today's Performer
With more music and audio apps available than ever before, the Apple iPad has earned a solid place in the modern musician's equipment bag. While many of us at Sweetwater still record in our home studios, we're increasingly turning to our iPads for portable music recording and video production. Why? It boils down to convenience. Slip an iPad in a gig bag, and you have all you need to plug in and create, all with minimal setup. And, with hundreds of synthesizers, drum machines, and sequencers available from the App Store, the iPad is becoming an increasingly versatile alternative to a desktop or laptop computer as an instrument. Factor in the ability to stream backing tracks and control mixer levels wirelessly, and the iPad becomes a valuable gigging sidekick for street performances to large venues.
Are you searching for the right iPad to help you achieve your creative goals? You'll find the latest models and configurations right here at Sweetwater.
