it started out sort of slowly, then gained momentum — and now it’s everywhere! We’re talking, of course, about the emergence of apple’s iOS as a dominant force for musicians and audio engineers. everywhere you turn, musicians and engineers have their iPads and iPhones in hand, using them for all sorts of musical tasks and purposes.

Why has this happened? it’s because iOS devices (so named for the iOS operating system they run) offer a tremendous amount of power in a compact, super-easy-to-use handheld format that’s just as at home in the practice room or the studio as it is in the classroom or onstage.

Living the iOS Lifeapple iOS devices are so flexible because they can run efficient apps — small software programs that can be downloaded for very little money. in fact, apps are downright cheap — many even free of charge! these apps let you transform your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch into a completely different device, providing all sorts of different functionality and power — and in a form factor that’s small and light enough to slip into a coat pocket or carry in a small bag.

No matter what you do musically, there’s an app that will help you out:

the list goes on and on and on… there are thousands of different apps available. and when the music making is finished, your iOS device allows you to play back MP3s and movies, check your e-mail, surf the Web, take pictures, play games, manage contact lists, set up a calendar, send and receive text messages, take notes, load up maps and directions to the next gig, read books and magazines, and even video chat with your friends!

Accessorizethough your iOS device can do a lot on its own, there are a myriad of accessories you can add to make it even more useful, from mic-stand clip mounts to MiDi and audio interfaces, from microphones to controller keyboards, and from guitar pedalboards to DJ mixers.

Use iOS to Control Your GeariOS integration has also made its way into pro-level gear. Now, you can find mixers, interfaces, and even speaker systems that allow you to remotely control functions from your iPad or iPhone. More and more manufacturers are adding this functionality, so it’s a great time to have an iOS device on hand.
