iPod for producing

[Mus Mus]

I thought it was a myth that "people" actually believe what they see on TV commercials. You know, like that Jennifer Lopez uses/owns Harmon Kardon products, or that Steve Helstrip uses Cubase to create sounds when he owns just about every hard synth ever made...

You could download some awesome iOS synths such as Moog's "Animoog" or Korg's "iMS 20" and buy a camera connection kit so you can attach a quality audio interface to the ipad via USB and record the output into your main DAW...
The possibilities with an iPad are pretty huge and new developments are emerging all the time.

maybe for a bit of messing around with beats, but for serious producing stay a 1000 miles away from an iOS device

I think people are getting the wrong idea. Sorry if I didn't explain better. But what I meant is iPad apps that utilize your DAW. Like, using the iPad for MIDI input just additional interface to display things that you don't always want to pull up on your monitor.

Ah I see... Try looking at TouchOSC to contol your DAW via Open Sound Control. OSC is set to replace MIDI with time as it allows devices to send and recieve MIDI data WIRELESSLY (hate cables), as long as they're on the same LAN.

Fully configurable interfaces on touch screens, with different setups for different uses / packages are the way forward!

Lemur is also worth a look... But it will set you back a fair bit more than TouchOSC.

I use a iPad for my production I've been making beats for 2 months now. I'm going to
upgrade to a Mac and logic next month. The iPad is a good learning tool, your limited with a little bit of sound but trust me you can make it happen. I use 10
Differnt apps BeatMaker 2, Music studio, Nlog Pro, table top, synth station, and others. Take a listen . I'm not the best producer ever but I'm working hard. SoundCloud : SamJonesProduction
all of the beats were made from a iPad. Not saying that they are the best but they are good.
