sweet ipad apps and accesories i should buy

How are you liking the MultiTrack DAW app?

It is pretty simple, which I don't mind at all. It has enough tools to get the job done. Maybe, if my recording becomes more serious I would consider another DAW but there really is nothing wrong with MT DAW at all.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

MT DAW worth the money? I found GB simple and straight forward. Didn't have good sound quality but I didn't expect since I was using the ipad mic to record in garage band. My focustrite itrack interface will be here Saturday I think. Ill see if I need something better than GB after that.

Anyone check out Auria? Cubase? Expensive but I could see them being worth the money if they're good.

I think it is worth the $10. I got it because it is Audiobus compatible. Not crucial but it can make recording a couple tracks at once quick like a drum machine and synth part. It saves all of the exporting, copying/pasting.. etc with other Audiobus compatible apps.

Personally I'd rather still do complex mixing on the computer and quick and dirty mixing on the iPad. I think Auria and Cubasis are overkill. They definitely have their place but for my workflow and like Delta pointed out, something simple with Audiobus compatibility is the way to go.

the tacam im2 works rwal good
its really for ipod/phone
but itll fit in the ipad too(duh)
it definately brings the needle way down
couldnt get it in the red with drums
and our normal playing level

if your doing your demos with the stock mic
get one
$30 on b&h website
usually $60

that's what's REALLY annoying about the lightning port on the iphone5 and the ipad3.5/4, whatever they're calling the newest one. there's some cool accessories that are for the og apple dock connector, hardly anything for the lightning thinger.

apple are such dicks. absolutely no reason except for nickel and diming people that are already spending $500-$700 on pads/fones.

pure. dickery.

also, i love the site http://superdickery.com/

weight wise
shits been workin good for years

[behndy]

well, the lightning being omnidirectional is pretty cool. and the Big Pin Sex Hole WAS a mad dirt collector. but yeah. they could have gone with the Micro USB like fucking everybody else ever uses. asses.

the 3 (the one i have) is still a Pin Bot, the newest one (i dunno if it's the 3.5 or the 4? it's not that much different than the 3.) has lightning.

BLEGH.

Pissed me off that my ipad bought new in July was the current updated newest one. And within six months 2 more versions came out and made mine outdated! Wtf

[behndy]

yah. i feel you. the newest ones aren't that different though. just a bit more processor speed ne? i'm super happy with my 3, glad i went with the 64 gig. i always try to get the largest capacity available.

[the Life Aquatic]

Yea, my is really not that different. It's just obnoxious cause now the resale is down. And the feeling of having outdated stuff. I kno its materialistic but its nice to have the newest thing for a bit.

[ryan summit]

thats alright
ifyou got the newst one for xmas
youd be pissed in march

[Deltaphoenix]

Yup, what I heard too, and I got the current newest one.

[MannequinRaces]

Go in with the mindset that what you buy now will be obsolete or close to it in 6months. That's always been the case with electronics, usually. Enjoy what you have. I hear you though that it is nice to have the latest and greatest for at least a little while.

My first gen ipad does me right... Most of the time.
