Notion 3 with Chris Swaffer (iPad Pros - 0175)

Season 1, Ep. 175

Chris Swaffer is a Product Manager at PreSonus, the creators of the music notation software Notion. Since we last spoke, in episode 4, they’ve had a bunch of software updates including version 3 that launched late last year. In this episode, which was recorded before WWDC, we chat about how he uses the iPad and how Notion has changed since we last spoke in 2017.


The introduction and closing of this episode was done using the new Personal Voice feature in iPadOS 17 and captured using the built-in Screen Recording feature.
