All elements were done on the ipad this week, amazing what these devices can do.  Used Beatmaker 2, Audiobus, Korg Gadget, Aufx:dub, figure, Sector, and Swoopster.  Enjoy and thanks for listening!

Great feel to this. The rolling bass, interesting percussion, and dubby vocals. Really enjoyed this. Faved.

Great TRIP!

I've had several attempts at making music on the ipad, but just can't seem to be able to get something I like out of it, despite all the killer apps I have. So I'm impressed that you did this track with an iPad. I shall try again to make music with it again...

The iPad certainly is under powered compared to my Mac but the convenience is incredible, I find with work and family life I have little time to work on music, but if I have 10 to 15 minutes the iPad is quick and easy to get into making beats

A heap of good tones and rhythmic elements are solid.  I've still yet to delve too deeply into my ipad for entire compositions.  Sounds like the output is peaking in the bottom end on my system?

This is one of the issues with working on an ipad, the entire time I'm listening with headphones, so sometimes it sounds good on the headphones but not so good on other systems.  I've also noted that when I listen to a track within Beatmker on the ipad it will sound fine, but then when I export the file as a wav and listen with the same headphones it will sound different.  This also only seems to effect the low end.

Nice job with the ipadness, I've yet to jump into some of the paid apps, just cuz I'm lazy like that smile  This has some nice driving bass and the floating vocal sample is suhweet, nice job! smile

Congrats to this one! I haven't yet managed to build a whole track on an iPad but only single elements. But in the coming months of summer lying in the sun i will definitely have to try it. smile
