#Astropad alternative pro

While I don't have the set-up, a lot of my friends have both ipad pro and apple pencil and they love it (consequentially, I went with a cintiq 13HD myself with is 800USD). Just as someone suggested above, you might wanna give it a try in-store to see if you like it. Even my Cintiq and Mac are secondhands and they’ve been lovely. As I’ve always done, i plan to purchase a refurb version since it’s cheaper - you can find those in Apple’s main website. (CSP is heck of a lot cheaper per month than any Adobe programs too.) And since artists i admire use and recommend it I might as well give it a shot. Primarily because of us Clip Studio has an iOS version and it’s the only program I care about. I myself also plan on purchasing the Ipad Pro to replace my old Mac soon. My dad is also an artist and uses the iPad Pro, he’s loving it! Punziella ( ) and StrangelyKatie ( ) are two examples.Īs far as I know, one of them uses Procreate to do illustration, and the other uses the app version of Clip Studio to do comics. I’ve also seen many artists use ipad pro as their main tablet.

Duet Display installs its own driver which appears to have the same effect as when one switches to any other external display e.g. To end this 'mini review' (both are fresh in my mind!), one thing I like about Astropad is the simple Mac installation - apparently just the app itself, which just has to be run concurrently with the iOS app.

You can try the iPhone version of Astropad for free to see if this might work for you, before paying for the iPad version. There are some tradeoffs with screen refreshes compared to Duet Display as each is designed for different applications. Wacom) and, unlike Duet Display that allows you to use an iPad as an extra display or as a mirror of the main display, Astropad only mirrors a selected area of your main display (zoom level easily adjusted e.g. If a cable ocnnection is out of the question, I wonder if Astropad might work (works over Wi-Fi as well as cable) - this is designed as a graphics input device (like products from e.g. and they've just added the new OSX Touch Bar for Sierra, which might be interesting for desktop users if Avid choose to support this e.g. It apparently uses up some GPU/CPU but offers lots of options for different frame/refresh rates, Retina displays, etc. not tried one) to the side of my iMac to tweak plugins, display meters or video. It is also available for Windows.įeels like a mini Slate Raven (I guess. as long as your piano is within reach of a long Lightning/USB cable. As mentioned already, Duet Display (just got this myself - it was on sale!) works well and has lots of potential with Pro Tools.
