How do you use your iPad?
« on: April 22, 2011, 04:01:14 AM »
This thing has so much potential in so many areas. Garage Band is the tits, Beatwave is fun... I was wondering what other APPS and/or devices can be used with this thing. Ever use it live, in the studio???

I've done a few tracks running an improv Korg iMS-20 session into Garageband or ProTools.

Just ordered the iRig to use on some sideman type gigs for songwriters where I don't want to blow out a listening room cranking an amp. I'll just run it into a DI and let the soundman give a more controlled stereo mix. Certainly won't use it all the time, but it will be a great option depending on the room.

the iRig is pretty neat, especially if I am just sitting in my apartment and just want to play with some headphones on, I dont have to plug all my shit in.



a neat little app I downloaded is Pro Keys.  It has 2 sets of keys on top of each other, and like any keyboard, you can choose your different instruments/effects (grand piano, rhodes, b3, synth lead, mallets, etc) but it also has 8 or so drum pads.  You can record tracks and loop them to play over them, or you can upload songs from your itunes library to play over.  Pretty sure these sick beats im writin are gonna change the world  ;)  :facepalm:

just something cool to mess around on, prob would never use it live, even though with the iRig, I could.

could be the ultimate backup to have that in your bag if your amp goes out.

Not to mention moe.'s iPad rendition of Crab Eyes this past year as well. Not really sure how I feel about it, but the technology is pretty amazing nonetheless. Especially if an entire band can perform a song on nothing but iPads.

That part of the show almost made me go back to the site and drink. Sounded like shit. Their timing was so off.

Was it something different to see them do? Sure. Was it good? No.

moe. is falling off anyways, but that's just my .02.

Garageband limits you to 8 tracks. If you aren't getting that in depth, then it's cool, but if you want more - go with Music Studio.

Grab Amplitude 2 as well for you guitarist. Also, Moog is selling their Filtatron for 99 cents, and they are releasing ANIMOOG tonight!

But once again, that's just .02 from a guy that sells the stuff. It's all subjective, and people prefer different workflows.

EDIT: This performance is MUCH MORE well done than the S'Camp performance.
