So last week I did a show at a fest and carried nothing but my iPad and a DJ controller (and a USB hub). This was fantastic since I could ditch all my clutter and move around the fest easily with just my ipad before I got onto the stage. I did two sets using the iPad, the first one using Launchpad for iOS, and the sound could still be routed using my controller.
- The iPad gave a solid 2 hours of playtime without dipping below 80% battery.
- djay Pro sounded great on the big rig. The FX was section was so much fun to play with.
- I could do a rehearsal on my iPad offstage standing to one side and the touchscreen was intuitive to use. Didn’t miss my controller.
There was no feature that I thought I missed when using the djay pro on iPad. Desktop is now completely out of my setup. I can’t stop thinking how much this makes it easy for me to travel. No mucking around with chargers and laptop related hang-ups.
