Irig Clip On

Not sure how public this is yet but there's a new standalone touchscreen multitrack recorder/ digital effects unit in development - search for Dark Matter Audio.

Not ipad related but very impressive kit, due to launch later this year.

Irig have a clip on device available already, can't vouch for it though.

Sound Playback

Newbie Here. Is there an app that will allow you to search (as you type, narrowing the field) mp3 clips so that they can be quickly recalled and played. I'm in broadcasting and for a radio show it would be quite convenient to find a faster way to pull up audio files. Thanks!

Rich ~ post your question in a separate thread ~ this thread is kinda old and the OP is no longer with us.

You will get better assistance!

 

[richminaya]

What interface needed for garage band?

How do I interface a sure mike or a guitar into the iPad to record on garage band?

And while asking how do I interface ipad to a tv?

I just tried recording for first time. I bought the iRig for $39 at Apple store. you can connect that to IPad2 earphone jack as input. You can also connect earphones to the iRig at the same time. Worked great. I wish my playing worked that good.

I have invested a lot of time trying to get a 44.1kHz, 16 bit AIFF file from my PC to GB on iPad 2. I finally opened a support case which is still chugging a long. The last thing I heard from Apple is that this feature doesn't exist. I had the tech support I was working with go to the App Store and read the features to me. He agreed that this specific feature is listed for the current version of GarageBand.

I told them they need to change the description on the App Store before anybody else buys GB under false pretenses.

Well I finally got my iRig for Amplitube only problem is "No Output" on my iPad.
I got the input level responding while choosing earphones or external speaker but still no response on the output meter. The tuner is also responding ok. In order to actually get any response with Amplitube at the beginning I had to reset the entire iPad by shutting it down and restarting. The earphones work ok by choosing a tune from my library while connected to iRig. Here's the kicker... It works fine on my iTouch with the demo version. This might indicate that there is an issue with my IPad or something on the iPad is not activated. Also i'm not sure if I have to pay for it all over again for the iTouch as I am using the same ID and password.
Too bad cause I was planning to demo it at a house party tonight. Guess I'll have to take my Traynor AM100 amp instead.
Any suggestions?

I was able to contact support at IK Multimedia who was able to solve this problem. It was the (Solo) button on the recorder. Anyway here is what he said.

Sorry to hear about your troubles with AmpliTube. Let's check some settings
to see if we can solve the issue for you:

- Go to your iPad's Settings, click on Accessibility. You will see an option
for MONO AUDIO. Make sure Mono Audio is set to OFF.


- In AmpliTube, click on the SETUP page. If the iRig is connected properly,
the input will be automatically listed as: "Input: Headset Jack".

You should also see the Input meter showing activity when you play your
guitar.

Do you see input level activity? Is the input listed as "Input: Headset
Jack"?


- Go to the REC page. Make sure to always have a track record enabled - you
will see a small button beneath the VU meter for each available track. Click
on the button and make sure the red light is blinking to hear your guitar.


- Check to see if you have the "M" (mute) button clicked on any of the
available tracks. This will mute the track and not allow you to hear any
sound.

Check also to see that the "S" (solo) button is clicked on any of the tracks.
This will "solo" the track, and not allow any of the other tracks to output
sound.

Unclick any "M" or "S" buttons to see if it helps.


- If you hear your guitar, but can't hear your FX, make sure the Insert FX in
the REC page is enabled. In the REC page, click on "INS FX" from the right
side of the screen. You will see a switch with a red light on top for each
available track. Make sure the switch is pushed up and the red light is on
for the same track that you have record-enabled.




I hope this helps. If you need additional help, simply reply to this email to
open your ticket back up.

Ipad2 and music recording

I agree with all of you regarding Ipad2 and Music recording. Lets start exchange experiences and tell what you all have to make that music, what kind of apps beside Garageband, what are your connections to and from your Ipad2, what kind of midicontroller is working etc, home studio etc. Maybe we can send /exchange also pictures or videos to each other.

I play a little guitar and a little keyboard ad I've bought the Ipad2 just for making music on the garageband .So every idea , suggestions are welcome on this forum /topic I think. I have the most of the recording software like Cubase 4 Studio, Reason, FLstudio, Wavelab, Ableton etc ans I have bought almost all of the available music software in the Apss store (every day iam online in the store to see whats new, and find some interesting apps with pianosounds, guitarsounds and others.
Ok guys and girls ofcourse lets start making music.

I have an idea : let a few of us starting making an existing easy song at the same time and then we can compare where the difficulties are and the problemes so we can exchange ideas and help each other and so on. I have a good feeling about this topic, somebody any further ideas or suggestions . We are using exactly the same software. Hardware is another matter ofcourse .Oke I shall hear from you all asap.
