iOS Production: Music for Airports?

With the iPad turning 10 this year, there are now hundreds of hobbyist and professional music apps, including DAWs, sequencers, synthesizers, and effect processing tools. But are any mainstream producers actually using them to make tracks—or are they still just sketchpads for long flights and coffee shops? In this panel, artists and software developers will discuss the current state of iOS music software, migrating musical sketches to studio environments, and whether it’s actually possible to produce a professional sounding album on this platform.
