"It’s that tracking that let us see just what implementing Audiobus has done for those compatible apps: just in the first few months of 2014, we sold almost a third of a million dollars worth of third-party apps through our compatible apps directory, which is staggering." Michael Tyson If you think that ipads aren't the next "instrument" to enter the world of music production, check out this interesting fact about Audiobus (the app that has really allowed this shift to gain traction). If you are interested in joining this shift into the world of ios music production, here are some things you need to know and some links to some useful sites for more information and further resources. My current sampling/live-sampling rig which fits in a backpack Roland sp404sx - focusrite scarlett 2i2 - powered usb hub - ipad 2 - akai mpk mini The output of the effects chain (distion/phaser/flanger), and the output of the synth (v400), went into a roland re-301 chorus echo tape delay with sound-on-sound looping capability - the stereo out from the 301 went into a furman pq6 stereo parametric equalizer and then into two polytone mini brute amplifiers on stage I used to drag it around New York stuffed into the back seat of a checker cab, and all of this gear was stuffed inside the big black box.Ī transducer pickup in the mouthpiece of the trombone went into a boss ge10 equalizer (to remove all harmonics), which went into a korg pitch to voltage converter, which controlled an sms voice400 synthesizerĪ small dynamic microphone inside the bell of the horn went into an mxr distortion+, mutron 2 phaser, ada flanger In contrast, my Electric Trombone/Synthesizer rig from 1981 which fit in a case that looked allot like this.
