In your experience will upgrading from an ipad air 2 to a ipad pro make performance differences? Glitching, clicking, poping, freezing etc....I usually run audiobus or aum, with a couple apps at a time, or maybe even just gadget. Nothing too heavy.

I thought going from the Air2 to my Pro 10.5 was pretty noticeable in just about every way. Not a huge difference, but apps load faster, switch faster, I can run more instances of things like Model 15, etc. Plus all the every day stuff, the difference in scrolling is night and day.
Huge difference. Pro is by far faster etc and has the stereo speakers.
Yes, the 10,5 Pro is noticeably better in all areas. Especially RAM and storage related.
There were problems for early adopters, but Apple seem to have lagely sorted things out now.
Pro 10.5 is no doubt a better device in all areas. Whether one absolutely needs one is another question. If your air 2 is struggling then the answer is yes, there's no reason to suffer no more. If it copes then you'd better spend the cash elsewhere.
Screen and speakers are the obvious advantages otherwise.
My air 2 is running at about 90% ram most of the time with graphics related cpu spikes going up to 85%. No crackles etc but when I'm about to start playing live I will no doubt buy 10.5 again for the extra piece of mind.
My Air 2 feels like a puff of smoke is due any day.....
Battery won't hold charge etc......
Once budget allows upgrade to Pro
Except perhaps wait, as there is a slight chance the iPad Pro 3 will land in March/April; https://www.techradar.com/news/ipad-pro-3-could-land-early-next-year-with-octa-core-a11x-bionic-chipset
All the info i needed, big thx!
This is where pro 10.5 will drop in price. Hopefully.
iPad Air 2 is a phenomenal product Apple created and almost 3.5 years and it is still working great with a great resale value. If you have too many apps or want to keep open more than 10 apps simultaneously, do NOT upgrade to iOS 11 - stay with iOS 10 and you are golden. Air 2 came with iOS 8 and we should never upgrade the O/S on a device beyond 2-3 versions from the original version it came with as the old hardware cannot match the newer innvoations in the software.
Actually iOS 11 runs just fine on my Air 2. I agree that it's a phenomenal product though, it's lasted really well and can still pull its weight.
ios 11
There is my issue
Air 1 with 10 is great
Check Settings > Battery frequently. Any apps consuming your battery should be closed after they are done. Usually, Background Audio chews up a lot of battery.
I have an Air2 & Pro12.9 - I actually use my Air2 a lot more for getting my ideas and pre mixes - it works flawless - a good investment - very powerful -
I have got a slight issue with the Air2 screen rotation where it rotates slowly if anyone has any remedy for this?
