IPad Air 2 Does the Trick with MF 3.X. In My Perception

And so, back at the ranch. Who might trading up for a spiffy newer iPad Air 2 based on the OP initial post experiences ?

I recently upgraded my ageing iPad 3 which had done constant 10 hour days since new which was a cuppla weeks after release.
It was time for an upgrade anyway and I had the cash burning a hole in my pocket so iPad Air 2 it is.

Awesome fast bit of kit. Love it!! :)

I'll probably update, but might just wait until the next generation is out.  The EQ lag doesn't seem bad enough for me to worry about. 

RoadRanger:
Acoustic guitar is completely inaudible against a drummer and bass in a folk/rock band - definitely needs to be in the monitor of the player! In my fairly tame R&B band the sax players can't hear their instruments either. Even a trumpet player who you probably don't need in the PA needs to be in his monitor. In any case most horn players want reverb in their monitors - and even if the dry signal isn't in the PA the reverb needs to be there also. Sure wish the DL's allowed per-channel selection of pre/post on the 'verb sends :( .

Wynnd:
OK, I will admit that Acoustic guitar gets smothered pretty easily.  (Pity, I really like the sound.)  Now if you only fed the few instruments that really needed to be in the monitors and backed them all off, feedback would probably vanish.   (And the bands would quit chasing people out of the club.  And the FOH engineer would have a much easier time.)

Played a club with their own PA and engineer.  Overall stage volume dropped 10 db and a fan that always came with the band said it was like hearing the band for the very first time and he could hear people talking two tables away.  It was the best I've ever heard someone else run a board.  (Stu at Q's pub in Lakewood.)
