Version of iPad in Audiobus demo – How much is too much

Just in case you were wondering what version iPad was in that amazing Audiobus demo, it was an iPad 2. It seemed to be handling Sunrizer and Loopy just fine, which is good news for iPad 2 owners, and even better news for iPad 3 owners. I shot Michael an email asking how if he could put a number on how many apps working together at the same time start to slow things down, he replied:

What we’ve found is it depends enormously on the apps in question. For example, Sunrizer is quite CPU intensive when used with certain patches, and things start to get a bit soupy when that’s used with two other apps, like Multitrack DAW and SoundPrism, for example.

When you get down to it, this has little to do with Audiobus, and everything to do with the apps in question. Audiobus doesn’t add a very significant footprint to the apps, so – if those apps work together before Audiobus, they’ll work together after Audiobus. If not.. they won’t =)

Question: iPad 1 with M-Audio Mobilepre?

A couple days ago I got an email from a reader asking if this would be any different on the original iPad…

“I saw your video of the m-audio mobilepre working with the iPad.  I’m interested in doing the same, but had a couple questions first.
1) Is that the standard 24-bit mobilepre?  I’ve seen on various forums that the ipad only supports 16-bit audio, but as far as I can tell the mobilepre is a 24-bit device, though I’ve seen references to two different versions.
2) I’m using iPad 1, not two.  Any reason to think it would behave differently?”

I think you’d run into some kind of performance issue because the iPad 2 went dual core with the A5 chip, but I’m not a hardware guy and only have an iPad 2. Has anyone with more knowledge on the subject tried using the camera kit with a Mobilepre on their iPad 1?

Thanks guys, if you’ve got question feel free to email me or use this forum. I’ll try to throw up a post ASAP with your question if I’m unable to help.

10 Live Uses for an iKlip

The iPad is changing the way we record, learn, and create music. Now thanks to the iKlip, it’s changing the way we preform. Here are…
10 Live Uses for an iKlip:
  1. If you’ve got a cover band, save yourself loads of time by reading lyrics off your iPad instead of memorizing all of them beforehand.
  2. Sing, play guitar, and bring a whole new sound to your audience with a touch screen instrument app like SoundPrism or MorphWiz.
  3. Play a show using an iPad guitar amp/effects processor app.
  4. Read chords off your iPad live.
  5. Read sheet music off your iPad.
  6. Plug your keyboard into your iPad with an iRig MIDI to use your iPad as a sound source.
  7. Remotely control OSC software running on your laptop using apps like Touch OSC.
  8. Use the LiveRig MIDI Controller app to manipulate a DAW and its plugins running on your laptop.
  9. Sing with vocal effect processor apps for iPad.
  10. Preform with sequencing apps like MoDrum, or BassLine.

What the iPad iO Dock will Bring to the Table…

Great post over at Mini Jack: Holding out for the Alesis IO Dock

I replied:

“Exactly. iOS needs an interface that does it all. Sure the Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer/iConnectMIDI/iPad CCK is good for midi and the Guitar Jack is good for just jamming on a guitar, but if you wana do some serious recording you need an interface that does it all, at the same time.
WELL SAID.”

The iO Dock is gonna change everything. You’ll be able to record anything, wherever you want! With the power of the iPad, and the iO Dock providing all the I/O you’ll will, most likely, ever need, the iPad is gonna be a lot more powerful…
