Team android, but FL studio has a mobile app that works on Iphone and android.

Pros You can take production with you without the heavy setup of pc's or laptops

Cons hearing things back via speakers can give you a false presentation of the production. Space is severely limited on the phone. Lack of vst options is also a downside.

hope you get a lot of storage. bm3 is pretty complete and you can bring in your own samples. use other apps as plugins too.

when I was using it for music I copied the entire drum samples folder from maschine to the ipad, and a bunch of old albums off soulseek.

it will keep you busy. the ipad doesn't provide enough power for the atom tho. it might work with a powered hub but I didn't try that

Don't cop the atom? What you mean not enough power?

Reason I want the atom because I use studio one and it goes hand and hand

What controllers do you recommend? I see you mentioned Bluetooth

the atom is perfect with s1, I thought you meant for the iPad. it's USB powered and the iPad doesn't have enough power for it

for iPad minilab worked well for me but there are other things I can't vouch for...irig pads, korg nano joints etc. there is a korg nano with Bluetooth, bm3 and several apps support Bluetooth midi

I can't see the link.

edit I found a video. when I hooked mine up it didn't respond at all. when I asked about it on the forum I was told what I told you. that's crazy I stand corrected
