tarkus Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Any good apps and gear I should be considering? Alesis has the iO as an interfaceand they offer some basic recording apps like Garageband and portastudio are on the SW site Please help me decide. Ideally - I'd like to be able to record acoustic instruments and voice as well as keys and my basses. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tusker Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 For gear, Apple Camera Connection kit has been a reliable USB midi interface. Apple Ipad cover makes a big difference in preserving battery life. (I do have some Apple stock. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScott Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 check the thread at https://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/2351888/1 and this prompted me to post a correction there... Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tusker Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 "how does the ipad cover improve battery life? and which cover are you referring to?" The Apple IPad 2 Smart Cover makes the device sleep when you close it, and wakes it up when you open it: http://www.apple.com/ipad/smart-cover/ There may be other covers with the same magnet placement, but I have other covers which don't do that. When using them I have to remember to put the device to sleep. Sometimes I forget and I have a low battery. Anecdotally I've heard people without smart covers complain about the 10 hour battery life, but the ones with the smart covers rarely do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
