I used to do a show on a tiny internet station that my friend ran. Once a week for two hours.
Did the whole thing from my iPad. Well, two actually. A 7th gen for running DJay and all the assorted apps I needed to make it work, then a 4th gen Mini for the microphone and channel faders. My mic was a Blue Yeti hooked up through a generic powered USB hub. The whole endeavour used 6 or 7 apps, all working in conjunction, and all had to be opened in a specific order or something might crash.
It was a huge pain in the arse, but so satisfying to get it working.
Ultimately, I could have replaced all of that with Mixxx for free on my ancient MacBook, but where would the fun have been in that? Also, the fan on my Mac would have sounded like a jet engine idling in the background.
