iPad vs Macbook and Garage Band vs other DAWs???

I don't know if you've already made your purchase, but given the range of your current and potential future uses and needs, I'd suggest taking a serious look at one of the new M1 Macs and Logic. Yes, it'll be more expensive up front, but it will do everything you want it to do from the get-go and Logic comes with an extensive assortment of virtual instruments and loop libraries, all for a ridiculously low price for a professional DAW. I've heard great things about Reaper, but to the best of my knowledge it doesn't come with loop libraries and virtual instruments (though there are apparently lots of good, free VIs out there). The new M1 Macs are, by all accounts, smoking fast, quiet machines, and one will be able to handle any audio task you'll conceivably throw at it for years to come. Good luck, and enjoy!
