As I’ve said this will make everything a whole lot easier for me too. I use Twisted wave to sample audio when using the iPad and that’s fine. The annoyance comes when I have to get my recorded content off my iPad and the only way to do that is to upload the recording to a cloud service from the iPad, a service such as Dropbox, iCloud, Google drive etc. Now this is all nice and easy but not so easy if you don’t for whatever reason have Internet access so immediate transfer of files to thumb drives etc is really going to make a difference.
