Hi All,
 
From my point of view the  usefulness of a tablet is in its portability.
 
At the moment I am not interested much in a tablet as a control surface.
 
I am very much interested in a tablet as a tool for sketching musical ideas and providing musical resources wherever I may be.
 
Currently it is the ipad that delivers the largest choice of music "apps". Many of them very worthwhile. So although I have always been a PC user my choice will be the ipad.
 
regards John
 
 
 

I've looked at a lot of phones over the last couple of months.  I went with the Iphone. I'm glad I did. I have low vision and it works well for me. I just went to the Verizon site and they have the HTC and it also is recomended for low vision. I never saw it though while looking at Verizon though.

The IPhone has been easy for me to use so far. There are other reasons why I went to it. AIsquared made a $20 app that let me use my phone the same way a $400 device will. It used the camera to help me read labels etc. It will also take a picture of the label and generate speech if need be.  It does not, or I have not found an app for it, do what TALKS will do in the HTC or Android. Dragon has an app that I can do speech to text but I have to copy the text and paste it wherever.

As far as a tranzport control, I have no need for it. What I did find very interesting is Audio tools. http://www.studiosixdigital.com/audiotools.html There is some helpful things there.

As for Apple computers, why is it they can have these massive monitors and the text still be miniscule? I could not even tell whether I would like an Apple or not becuase I can't find the ****in pointer. Let alone read anything on the screen. They can keep'em.

I'm staying away from tablets and their apps for music production. I'm just not a fan of them at this time. Nothing really wow's me and it's all a bit redundant.

Thanks,

In some respects it needs to be redundant, like when your standing across the room and just want the transport bar. Or even the "big time" display. or anything really.

The need for redundancies is redundant, hehe. I hear what you're saying, just not useful to me. I may as well remote into a machine that is across the room with an actual laptop. 

Thanks,

Android G2 google phone FTW, and I can use my own ringtones.

I first saw HTC phones a few years back when I was in Asia performing at MGM grand. I wanted one but they were way expensive.

got back to Los Angeles and the G1 google phone came out and I was already with T-Mobile. Got one when it came out, now on a G2 and never looked back. I got everyone around me to get one haha-
They all love it!

I have an ipad and I would get it in a heartbeat.. I just checked a few other companies examples and Brandon, its a no brainer for me...  I beleive that the tactile response time is quick and wouldn't affect the simple type of mixing I do..
 
Please Cakewalk, it would be a nice birthday present (Christmas is already reserved for Producer at my house)..... 
 
 
Thank you A1 MixMan for bringing this up.....

Why waste any resources on this when others have already made apps compatible with Sonar?

Maybe I am missing just what it is you all are trying to do...  I remotely control SONAR with a cheapo Dell Netbook by setting up a wireless network in my studio (all the netbooks have built in wireless), connecting to my DAW via Remote Desktop (RDP) and remotely controlling the desktop of my DAW.  It's almost as good as being there, and highly reliable.  It's the way I keep my mics away from the noisy equipment when recording by myself.  The Netbook has an SSD so it makes no sound whatsoever, and costs less than $300.00 (actually it came free with my wife's Dell laptop).

What am I missing here?

Would love to make my Evo act as a USB DAW Controller !

Even if it was just a play and record function !

LOL! I never saw it at the store beforehand. I looked online before I posted my response and saw the HTC.
