Benjamin Levicek If you ask artists and creatives which brand they prefer for their work, most of the time you will get an answer that they prefer Apple products, either Mac or iPad. The Californian company targets creative professionals, but photographers, video content creators or podcasters are not left behind either. Today we will show when it is better to choose the macOS system, in which case iPadOS will serve better, and when the most favorable way for you is to buy both a Mac and an iPad.

Creativity, or Apple Pencil or more complex applications?
The App Store for iPad is full of all kinds of applications for draftsmen - among the very popular are, for example, Procreate. Thanks to the fact that it is possible to buy an Apple Pencil or other stylus for the iPad, artists can literally go wild here. But sometimes you can't just stick to drawing and sketches, and you need to work with the figure in some way. Not that it's not possible on the iPad, but especially more complex tasks - such as working in multiple layers - are not always as comfortable as on a Mac. In general, it is impossible to say whether only an iPad will be enough for you, or whether a Mac would also suit you. For simpler drawing and medium-demanding work, the iPad will be more than enough for you, but if you are a professional, you will need to test macOS and iPadOS at work. Passionate artists very often make heavy use of both devices.

In editing music, photos and videos, the iPad is sufficient for ordinary users
If you like to express yourself with your voice or have a creative spirit in the field of music composition, you will find many simple yet professional editing apps for iPad. Whether we're talking about simple audio editing with Hokusai Audio Editor, professional mixing that you serve with Ferrite, creating podcasts in the app Anchor or composing music through native GarageBand, even as an intermediate user you will be satisfied. Now you will probably argue to me that as a professional DJ or sound engineer, when you need to have several microphones and accessories connected to the device, and you work in a larger studio, the iPad is not enough. I can only agree with you on this, as the programs for iPadOS are not as comprehensive as on the Mac. You can do many things here, a full-fledged replacement for Logic Pro but you won't find it for the iPad. Otherwise, I think the vast majority of you will be happy with the iPad.

It's basically the same song for photos and videos. Even more advanced YouTubers praise each other when it comes to video editing LumaFusion for iPad, which enables both basic work and more advanced work in multiple layers. An almost omnipotent tool by name Final Cut Pro again, you will use it especially in professional studies. Photos are worth mentioning for both macOS and iPadOS AdobeLightroom, for more complex graphic work with multiple layers, use Adobe Photoshop whether AffinityPhoto. The aforementioned Affinity Photo is probably the most comprehensive software for the iPad, unfortunately, Photoshop in the tablet version does not have nearly as many functions as you can find in the desktop version.

In very simple terms, an iPad is enough for slightly to intermediate users without any problem, for more demanding users, what they do is extremely important. Creative people in the field of drawing will most likely benefit from owning both an iPad and a Mac. If you often work with photos, music and video, and are primarily in the studio, you will probably be limited by the minimalism of iPadOS applications, and the lightness of the device will not help. If you are a traveler, and you are not one of the more demanding users, the iPad will probably be the right choice for you.
