How about for example a reasonably priced Native Instruments iVST synth? Nope, not mentioning iKontakt (I am going to trademark that name if it’s still free). However there is a striking void in iVSTs when it comes to many of the biggest names in the industry. Some vendors like Korg have been active in transforming the concept of VSTi into a new mobile version: let us call it iVST for now. Since the emergence of Audiobus, extended prospects for doing basically the same on iPad have emerged. When I am in Cubase, I of course apply lots of VST instruments. From the latest online reviews I have understood that the DAW’s busiest period of bug-fixing is now over, and since I am a Cubase user, the learning curve should not be too steep. I am about to purchase the Steinberg Cubasis next. This is in my opinion the most common problem among large VSTi libraries, which sound great but give the user a feeling that he or she is knitting more like playing.

Some of the apps I’ve tried – for example ThumbJam – have given me the chills: I really feel like I have found an instrument, something new and extremely playable. All this has been self-financed, as is my ‘traditional’ workstation hobbyism: both originate from my natural-born curiosity for all things new and preferrably digital. Well it didn’t stop there: since the wheels started turning, several new music-making apps have made their way onto my iPad.
#DOING NOTE SLIDE IN SCARBEE BASS SOFTWARE#
It all started basically by accident: originally I was only looking for software for making mobile podcasts. Those who have followed some of the latest postings here are already aware of the fact that I am currently in process of getting more acquainted with iPad music production. The app is a potential game changer: hopefully the work started well will also be finished. Hopefully Native Instruments has abandoned its policy of not updating their apps so that Traktor DJ gets new features soon. Otherwise I have read very positive comments on Traktor DJ. With Audiobus it would be possible to record one’s mix directly on iPad DAW, which would open a whole new world for using the app. This is of course a mistake – I have zero audio files in my iPad library since I use original files only and transfer them via Dropbox.īesides the import/export difficulties, Traktor DJ currently lacks Audiobus support. So far this procedure is apparently quite hard to achieve, since the Traktor DJ app is dependent on iTunes library when it comes to importing and exporting audio files. After recording a nice take I would render that take on one track and keep adding bass, keys, and other things by using the other track available. Instead of DJ activity, I would like to use the app in creating a remix for example by loading a vocal track with a drum track and live-mixing those two together. However I am more interested in the idea of playing the waveform live. What makes the app so compelling to me is that it enables the live playing of two separate synchronized tracks – as one might expect from a DJ app. What makes my interest perhaps little odd is that I have no interest whatsoever in being a DJ.

Recently I have been watching quite a number of videos explaining the use of the Native Instruments Traktor DJ app on iPad.
