What are some of *your* favorite iPad apps that make it useful in your workflow?

[@Oleg__]

forScore - that's what I once bought an iPad for. Although, not for the first year I dreamed of a ≈15‑inch iPad, and preferably not of the "Pro" line. )

[@steveleatherwood3803]

I am always learning the coolest stuff from your videos like these. Love it man!!!!

[@beardfm]

Thanks Steve!

[@NITINCHAWLA]

I use final cut on the ipad pro to edit all my videos! Im defo one of the few using it as my main machine. Scripts / video ideas / document scanning and archiving all very easy on the ipad with magic keyboard! Procreate and canva for thumbails! All of this is quite amazing

[@beardfm]

That's awesome! I know Fernando Silva on the 9to5 Mac channel uses iPad for everything too

[@jvolz283]

Great video, as always!

[@beardfm]

Thanks again!

[@geoffdewar8845]

So much useful information in this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@beardfm]

Welcome!

[@elizabethingram9784]

My iPadPro 3rd Gen has been my constant companion and sanity saver all throughout the pandemic and my university experience as well. Very reliable. My apple universe also consists of a MacMini M1, MacBook Air, iPhone SE, and home pod mini. Perfect little system for my lifestyle needs. I LOVE the way they interact. I do, however, also have a homemade pc that I use for math-based work, statistics databases, etc., for uni-based platforms. Mac for humanities, pc for STEM. Lol

[@beardfm]

The best of all worlds!

[@lindafitak]

I use all my music on my iPad Pro, same size as yours. It’s perfect for that!

[@beardfm]

Nice!

[@AndrewClare]

I got my iPad Air last year and I absolutely love it. I use it for video editing on my channel, I use procreate to create wallpaper packs. I also use the Magic Keyboard so it’s great for writing out scripts. I also use a medical app called canto at work for testing to create the best possible for doctors that use iPad. It has completely replaced my MacBook Pro (2017). Which I still love but find no use for it thanks to the iPad. Awesome video as always!

[@beardfm]

Thanks man! I even enjoy using iPad for admin tasks over my MBP too. Holding out for Final Cut 😬

[@AndrewClare]

@@beardfm WWDC 🙏🏻

[@ToddPage1987]

Love this kind of content - thank you. It would be killer if the "wink to turn page" was a separately available script that would work with any content. Now THAT would be cool for reading, other music apps, etc). (FYI, the designated ForScore link in description appears to be broken)

[@beardfm]

Thanks Todd! And there may be accessibility settings for across the device that allow gesture like that. Link fixed!

[@Oleg__]

I have no idea why so many people insist on writing the name of the app "forScore" wrong.

[@lukestefanlinares3084]

I have my second ipad using forscore cue to mirror page turns with my partner, however it stays in a small preview mode. How can I get it go fullscreen?

[@shaneeegan]

Stephen! any idea of doing a nitty gritty edit on ferrite? Multi track, stitching audio

[@beardfm]

Hey! I need to do a more recent tutorial but here’s a walkthrough: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIa3gKtped2bmtU

[@atrejuhoodreviews]

Stellar video as always man I use my iPad Pro for many years before I got my MacBook

[@beardfm]

Thanks man 🙏🏻

[@user-dr5gr1wt2v]

Thanks for the super review👍 There’s a lot of talk just recently about the possibility of a new iPad Pro model coming out in a few weeks. But is it worth the wait and the extra expense. I can currently get around $100 discount on the existing model so I’m thinking of buying it now. The predominant use will be to read music. Any advice? Many thanks

[@beardfm]

Even if you don’t get the newest models, that means older ones will be cheaper! If you get a $100 discount now that’s pretty good, but they may go even lower once new ones get released.

[@wcaudle9009]

Great video as always!When you add pictures to the chapters in Ferrite are the stock or pictures you take yourself? Just wondering about copyright issues…

[@beardfm]

They’re usually images from AppleInsider articles that the team had made, or for MOTS I’ll just use frames of a movie

[@9to5Mac]

That’s a fresh shirt

[@beardfm]

[@thinborne]

Teacher, I can not live without good note!

[@beardfm]

It’s great!

[@morpheusmorph]

I second this. There is no better device for a teacher than an iPad.

[@abboudsaadi282]

I can not see the face gestures

[@L.Rmusic]

Hey, thanks so much for this! I had a question, is forscore worth the $19.99, even if I am not a pro member? Or is there a free option that’s just as good?

[@beardfm]

There's a free option that's great for just loading and using it to read sheet music. Highly recommend!

[@leaht-pu1tm]

Which model iPad are you using?

[@beardfm]

M1 iPad Pro in this video!

[@leaht-pu1tm]

@@beardfm Thank you for the reply. In your opinion what is the best Metronome app for IOS?

[@jhamseevid]

can you use apple pencil with free ferrite use

[@beardfm]

You can, but you don't get as many granular options for setting its function.

[@jhamseevid]

great video - faster comment reply in youtube history! Thanks@@beardfm

[@gokuthedestroyer8627]

Yes but luma fusion is also in android now , no need to have a 100 app for editing since you have luma fusion and a laptop chip to use it you have luma fusion because he is the best app for editing in mobile devices like the tab s8 ultra

[@beardfm]

Didn’t know! That’s great

[@fernandosilva]

That’s the first time I’ve seen what Nate looks like lol

[@beardfm]

Haha! You should watch MOTS to see more of him 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3S0mImtpN9-p6s

[@thinborne]

Did you see the reply oft 9TO5MAC?

[@lifecrustvlogs]

FCP and Logic pro is here now 😂

[@beardfm]

Definitely going to review when they arrive!

[@Paraver-Pictures]

What about android

[@beardfm]

Don’t have an Android tablet to test 😅

[@cohens1861]

Third

[@user-jw4li3ly3n]

You speek too fast ... 🎺🥴

[@vonNaaat]
