The only thing Traktor can't seem to deal with well is slowing down tracks to a ridiculous degree (like 120 to 70). Also I'm not sure there's a way to turn off keylock. (i like chopped&screwed) Also it doesn't support any USB audio interfaces/MIDI controllers except for some lame traktor hardware but I hope it will soon at least support coreaudio USB for dual stereo output. It has split-headphone cueing but gently caress that. Overall its really cool and I'm probably gonna use it but the most feature-rich app is still DJ Player.

This is all I have to say about Traktor DJ: I'm a no-talent hack, and I spent 30 minutes with it at Midnight last night while my wife and baby slept next to me and I produced something more than a little rad. (Forgive some of the effects near the end, it was me mostly trying to figure out what some did...) https://soundcloud.com/feenix/childish-mau5/s-dunXZ

Traktor DJ is fantastic. I bought it just as an accompaniment to Traktor Pro so that I could beat grid and build playlists while I was away from my laptop but I've just spent the last two hours mixing with with it and it's great fun.

Thanks for putting that app on my radar. I also have been meaning to mess with Traktor more on my macbook, so this is going to next level poo poo.

Traktor is very polished and well put together, and easily worth the price, but having to pay $200+ more just to cue properly is rather unfortunate.

Anyone use Lemur? Is there a way around the 256 byte limit on SysEx messages? My MicroKorg patches are 297 bytes  I think I'm going to have to write a daemon to intercept the SysEx messages and create new, smaller custom ones that Lemur can handle.

Just a heads-up for anyone into using iOS apps for music production (or just loving around, like me): the Audiobus forum is quite active, with lots of users and developers posting. It's probably the best all-around iOS music app discussion site at this point.

to anyone with Cubasis: is it worth the $50 even if you have beatmaker 2? beatmaker 2 seems to be able to do most of what cubasis can do, but cubasis looks like it has a much smoother interface.

I'm sort of in the same boat so I'm interested in this as well. I've been lurking on the Cubasis forums following the development. Looking forward to seeing what they add in the next update as the last one was just maintenance. Kilometers Davis posted:What's the best app for making high quality organic sounding backing tracks to use for guitar improv practice? There's ThumbJam, which has some good organic instrument sounds that you can record and do multiple loops at the same time. There's also notation playback/ editors like Notion or Symphonix Evolution where you can methodically enter in a melody or chords and play over that. Then of course there are the multi-tracker/ DAW apps (Beatmaker 2, Cubasis, Auria, etc) that will do what you want and then some. There are a lot of options out there, It just depends on how simple or complex of a process you want to work with. illBilliam fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Mar 13, 2013 |

I'm blown away by JamUP ProXT guitar amp and effects modeling. The sound modeling blows Garage Band, Amplitube, and Ampkit out of the water. Its the best sounding guitar app i've heard on iOS. It has a good effects sharing feature, and it plays in the background so you can record to GarageBand. I'm going to splurge on all the extra amps and stomboxes. They have a free version to test out.

What about it is iPad specific? With the RCA inputs you could plug anything in the world into it. It does seem pretty cool for $60 though.

Apple just released an update for Garage Band with something called Audiobus, which allows it to record signals from other amps, so make sure that your Garage Band is up to date, also there is an option in AmpUP to run in background that needs to be turned on.

Wow, I remember them being concerned that Apple would approve the app and now they've built in support themselves? That's one hell of a coup. Rather surprised they didn't just buy Tasty Pixel outright.

It's not one of those pre-packaged music making apps (push button >> start beat and melody), but there's no performance learning curve other than experimenting with your own finger movements and gestures. A couple of videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkN5DbiPguo This one has another app in the background for the beat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJNbHc_XGdA

Is there anyone here using DAW software on the iPad aside from GarageBand? What and how do you like it? I see the appeal of GB, and it's worth the $5 spot to fool around with or make demos, but it's seriously a toy compared to even the desktop version... seriously, no eq on channels? Not even a general "tone" control? I have been looking at Cubasis, but the GUI seems a little clunky (and I don't just mean not slick... why is undo a sub menu in?) and Auria is too much of a unknown to drop fifty bux on it without hearing some good feedback.

Check out Beatmaker 2. I haven't used it myself, but many people seem to regard it as one of the best music studio apps out there. http://www.intua.net/products/beatmaker2 Also, if you don't mind something a little bit different UI-wise, check out Tabletop: http://retronyms.com/

Hey iOS people, I'm kind of thinking about maaaaaaybe possibly getting an iPad to replace most of my hardware gear - I love my hardware, but I really have some major issues with space and I think a compact iPad-centered solution might work for me. I'd like to ask you guys about some things that I'm still not sure about after looking at stuff on the internet, because I've done enough jumping into things without asking around and planning properly first. App-wise I'm mostly interested in the Nanostudio and the iPolysix - do they support multiple MIDI devices? It's apparently possible to connect several separate MIDI controllers to one iPad, but would it be possible to assign, say, two keyboards to two different synths on either of these two apps while fiddling around with knobs and sliders on a NanoKONTROL (or an equivalent) to control a third synth, for example? What apps and devices would I need to do something like this? I want to be able to perform stuff live with at least two people playing synth lines live and twisting knobs and poo poo. e: Also, how much of a hassle would such a setup be, if viable in the first place? a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Jun 13, 2013 |

CAT rear end now!!! posted:Hey iOS people, There a a lot of great apps for the iPad, especially single instrument apps like the Korg stuff, Animoog, Tenori-On, etc. but you might need more than one iPad to really put up a performance, since there is no universal multitasking or global app management functionality. Also, sequencer apps are still not the tightest. The iPad makes a great and versatile companion, but I don't think it can replace a hardware setup or music workstation laptop yet.

FLX posted:NanoStudio has a great MIDI implementation. I never connected more than one USB keyboard to it, but you can assign an individual MIDI channel to each instrument and even map MIDI CCs to a bunch of parameters (volume, pan, XY pad axes, etc.). iPolySix only supports one MIDI device as far as I know and has fixed MIDI CC mappings. Thanks! I dunno, it does sound like it would be plenty possible to perform live with Nanostudio if you've got a couple of keyboards and some knobs or something, at least. I would probably keep some of my hardware anyway, though, like for piano duty. Is it possible make MIDI OUT tracks in Nanostudio to control hardware synths?

There are sequencer apps though like the Tenori-On App and Genome Sequencer. But as I wrote , those can be a little loose sometimes and benefit from playing alone on one iPad, without other stuff in the background. I made two tutorial videos for the Tenori-On app, by the way: MIDI Output: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRBbBlOciUo MIDI Input: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5-_MJoAZqo
