If I was using it on an Android tablet I'd often want at least 2 full, powered USB ports - one for a keyboard/hub/mouse and the other for a USB MIDI/audio device. I'm not sure I'd be able to pull that off on an iPad? Its true that kinda arrangement is arguably less portable than a laptop depending on how big your keyboard and mouse/tracking device are but it may be a bit smaller lighter and offer better battery life at the cost of the superior spec of a laptop. T5 mobile could be good for tracking stuff out of the (home) studio or MIDI editing on public transport, not really for mixing and mastering etc.TSC wrote:...

What are your thoughts on this topic - what should Tracktion on an iPad do? Should it be a 'game like' creativity app thats a fun ideation tool.... or a simple 24 track recorder for capturing moments... or.....
I've not tried to run T5 on a laptop w/ touchscreen but I'd have imagined it would've been quite usable with touch alone so long as you have a decent sized screen? I suspect my assumptions there were quite flawed by the sounds of things?
I wouldn't want to see a 'Tracktion lite' like they've done with FL and I'd much rather TSC devote your time to perfecting desktop/laptop Tracktion rather than focus on mobile, if its a choice between the two, no doubt about it.
'Tracktion everywhere' and in its full glory on all popular OSs just seemed cool to me!
I'm not aware of any Android tablets with two USB ports. Where are you buying one of them?
But basically you want a small laptop, not a tablet version of Tracktion. You want to use an underpowered device with no keyboard, on an os that blatantly still struggles with latency issues (it does, just try any of th alternative DAWs) , like you'd use a small laptop. Except a small laptop's infinitely better suited to running full blown Tracktion.
