Hey folks- I have been having a blast using loopy pro on my IPad Air m2. The loopy software is just fantastic!

I want to start filming my loopy performances and my learning process- I’ve used IMovie some but it seems pretty limited when having multiple views..I.E. having a screen recording of Loopy and a camera shot of me playing together. I’m looking for something slightly more capable than IMovie, specifically in making a simple video with my ipad screen and a camera shot. I’d also prefer a free option if a good one exists.

Any recs would be appreciated!

Hi everyone.
I'm starting a new project using the ipad/AUM with external instruments(acoustic guitar, synths, vocals) for live performances. The focus is not recording nor mix/mastering. I've been looking for auv3 apps to use in AUM with the simplicity and old school feel/sound that I get from Analog Obsession plugins(pre-amp, eq, compressors). Any recommendations?

Hi folks,

I'll be purchasing an iPad Air M1 in the coming days to use as a sketch pad when I'm away from the studio.

In my studio the work flow is I create the bulk of the track in a MPC and then I transfer the stems to Reaper to add vocals and additional instrumentation like guitars etc.

Therefore I'd like to do a similar thing with the iPad, what are the apps that would best enable me to apply a similar workflow?

Thanks for the help.

I’m sure this has been asked so I apologise in advance but I am very rubbish with technology but love making music.

I was using Logic Pro on the same MacBook for 10 years but that has died and I now just want to make music on an iPad.

Would someone kindly tell me what I need in order to do this? And any suggestions as to what is the best kit to purchase? In layman’s terms please :)

Thank you in advance.

Lemur (an iPad touchscreen MIDI controller, for those who might not have been around in its heyday 10+ years ago) has returned from the crypt but with a $100 per year subscription price. It was a nice app in its prime, but was a bit pricey then at $25.

I long ago switched to TouchOsc ($15) which has been actively supported by its developer and a large community of template developers. The Disting EX in my Eurorack rig is a breeze to use when edited with TouchOsc and the hal9000 templates.

$99 per year for Lemur? That's twice what Apple charges per year for Logic. That's just crazy.

Pretty bad. Unplayable. Using DS version 1.12.4 standalone on iOS 17.6.1

Cannot access half the items in drop down menu.

Load Recent Favorites Sync Licenses MIDI Learn Tuning Settings Developer Tools

Nothing happens when attempting to select those.

Any of this familiar with anyone? Any solution? Thanks for any help.

UPDATE: I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and that took care of the delay. Still can’t access those menu choices however.

I’ve setup AUM with my behringer 1820 to record band in a live setting, it works great but our drummer uses an e-kit and I’d like to record the midi as well as the line out so I can overdub drums if needed.

I’ve got the midi cable connected from the kit to the 1820 but what’s the best way to record the midi? I have channels all set to record line, is it as simple as just creating another track and setting the midi as the input / hit record or do I need a plugin?

Help appreciated Thanks

I have an iPad with lightning port and just picked up an audiobox go, is there a way to have it work without spending about 40$ for the Apple camera cable (price where I live) I have a laptop but was hoping to be able to use GarageBand to start messing around with recording my instruments and really don’t want to blow 2/3rds the price I payed for the interface in a cable

Hey everyone! I'm trying to make the iPad receive clock via Bluetooth. The clock is being sent from the MPC live to Drambo and It fluctuates too much. I was wondering if there would be a way to get a more accurate timing. Maybe with cable or other wired equipment?

What are you guys experience on synchronizing two kicks , for example? One from an hardware machine and the other coming from the iPad?

Cheers in advance

Anny app's similar to Sonicware Ambient 0 that I can play on the iPad? Standalone and AUM compatible would be nice. I'm a noob and have no idea what I'm talking about but maybe something like Mononoke? Thanks

I've been connecting some hardware units to the iPad and StreamByter has been really great to map sequencers, drum machines and synth together.

However, I'm a software engineer and I have a difficult time creating scripts for it, not sure because it uses PERL which is a bit older programming language or it doesn't have an abstraction over MIDI implementation that makes it easy to get things done quickly.

I guess my goal of sharing this is to see if it's an issue other people experienced or have thoughts about. My first thought is that it would be nice to have an open source project that uses a more accessible language like Lua and helper code for common use cases or workflows. But maybe it's my own specific use case and I just need to spend more time with StreamByter scripting.

I released my electronic EP earlier this month, and one of my buddies wants to put me on one of his variety shows (comedy, rap, djs, etc). But I have no idea how to do this live.

Playing music live isn’t new to me, but playing EDM live is. I’ve always been a rocker.

I’ve learned about loopy pro, but it’s incredibly confusing, but I think I can manage that part.

My issue is how to i turn my songs into clips to be used in loopy pro? My DAW is Logic. I do have access to an old MacBook with logic but I’ve never used it, I don’t like working on the laptop. Hence ipadmusic lol.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Self explanatory. I have an 8th generation iPad, specifically the A2270 model, and use it mainly for Logic Pro for iPad. It runs well but I often find myself having to cut back on instruments due to RAM limitations. Is getting any one of the new iPads going to be worth it?

I am looking for auv3 apps (I am using AUM) to have the most fun on a master track (overall mix of hardware and software) for example Turnado

Hey folks,

I’m trying to calibrate the above with little success. The M-Vave is absolutely fine when assigning footswitch channels, but when trying to assign the expression pedal to volume, it only registers the bottom portion of the position as on/off, with no gradual increments.

Anyone a similar setup or used the above equipment with similar issues, and how did you fix, if at all?

Many thanks

iPad music noob. Currently have iPad Pro M4 and Air Key 25; I have experience with acoustic piano, so I know keys. Looking for a good starter app for creating a mix of ambient, atmospheric, cinematic electronic, minimalist styles; artists like Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, State Azure, Olafur Arnalds, Belle Chen, etc. Budget is basically open. I'm researching Geoshred, Mononoke, Gadget, Groove Rider GR16, Synth One, Synthmaster One... Also any DAW recommendations to make it easy to record/save any creations.

Does anyone have experience using Ableton Note with an external midi pad controller? Curious if the user experience is similar to Ableton Move, at a much cheaper price point. Thanks!

Trying to find an app that I can tie functions like “complexity” to a midi knob

NovoNotes SideRack is an awesome solution for seamlessly connecting iPad or iPhone with a Mac DAW. Highly recommend!

Hello!

I am trying to set up a live stream, using loopy pro, a guitar, and a midi keyboard. Here is my current setup.

Guitar into HX stomp (1/4 in) hx stomp to usb hub (usb) Hx stomp into audio interface (1/4in) MIDI keyboard to usb hub (usb) Audio interface into usb hub (usb) USB hub to iPad (usb) Audio interface to di box (1/4 in) Di box to PA (xlr)

How would I go about using my phone as the streaming device, for camera and audio? Would I need another audio interface for this? Any help or direction is appreciated!
