Topic: Need advice regarding new iPad for Totalmix control
Hi,
I'm going to buy a used iPad 2 or iPad 3 very soon to control my FF UFX's Totalmix FX.
I play live performances... the UFX is my digital monitor mixer as well as a recording device (durec).
I was wondering if it would make sense to record my performance not also with the UFX's durec feature but also with the iPad itself (backup!), for example with Cubasis or something like this. How much would this decrease the duration of the iPad's power?
As already mentioned, my main reason is to control totalmix during my live performances... I need the iPad to last at least a few hours, just to be on the safe side. If you guys would tell me, that the battery life would be shortened by a big amount if I use the iPad to record the whole performance too, then I would simply just not do it and go for an iPad with 16GB of storage space.
But if you've got good experience with it, I will be looking for a 32GB or 64GB device.
So, your help and your knowledge would really be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
