I agree with you. Though there is far less "that's not pro" or "it's too old" or "it's not the best so you're an idiot to use it", on these Forums. If you can get a good master on an iPad, go get 'em. An iPad is a great studio tool for lots of people. If I have 12 really great songs, I'll have someone master them for me. For now, easy, good results are good enough. Who has the time to study every aspect of this huge audio production field. Ive been working on teaching myself piano, music theory and guitar set up. I'm working on cutting my own nut (OUCH!!) so the strings don't flap around in different tunings. And trying to figure out my new phone. And my life long quest to make a pizza so good it will make you cry. (I'm darn close on that one). There's room for everyone; mastering on an iPad doesn't make you a slacker as long as it sounds good. At least not as much of a slacker as putting in a frozen pizza.
