And this is what we have forgotten after 25years! New technology brings creativity to a larger audience. The Amiga introduced me to music... Without the tracker I would never have been able to learn how to compose, arrange and even build my own sounds. My gut instinct is distrustful of the music-made-easy of the iPad, but I'm just being old and outdated 
OK i know this may be off topic but....
Imho it depends on what you called music. There is a problem with music being made easy in that it becomes harder and harder to seperate the talent from the talentless. Singers who are tone deaf are suddenly good singers. Talentless popstars like brittney spears are now being called artists etc, etc. In that regard i think creation should be a challenge and not have it put into your lap by using an ipad.
On the otherhand having a studio on your computer makes a lot of sense for a professional musican. Professional studios cost hundreds of thousands to buy or rent and having the equivalent on your pc for a few thousand dollars is a huge benefit to everyone involved. Why spend all that money on a professional tv studio when you can buy a video toaster A2000?
Sorry for going off topic
