So my iPhone died, which means that any new phone I get is not going to be able to talk to my 10 year old MacBook Pro (maxxed out at Snow Leopard), which is on permanent crutches anyway. So I started thinking this might be a great time to get a new machine, and given that all I really use my computer for is Internet, music/photo storage, Sonos controlling, Garageband, and occasional word processing, I'm thinking maybe an iPad Pro would be a good option. Setting aside the physical size/hard drive/cost calculus (which is paralyzing in its own right), what I'm wondering about is how much of a pain in the ass it will be to run my 2i2 (or any USB powered interface, I imagine) into the iPad, and wondering what others here might do for an interface. My music is guitar and pedal based, and while I'm intrigued by the many synth apps for iPad, I need to be able to plug my gear into it.
Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom on this crucial issue...
