Apple Ipad/ipod In The Studio, Using "Mobile" Devices for Music Production Options

[Todd Simpson]

I thought I'd start a thread for folks interested in exploring the use of "Mobile" technologies for Music Production. I've been using an Iphone (as it is basically an iPod) and recently an iPad (now with the Alesis Dock) for creating music, sounds, etc. The range of tools is just insane and it's been almost overwhelming trying to get a grip on it. So I thought' I'd start the thread with some pix of a new bit of kit I've been working with. The Alesis Studio Dock.

This piece of gear is a doc for an ipad 1 or 2 and provides XLR / Guitar Jack in / Out (Finally!) So you can record directly using Guitar Rig Mobile or any plugin you like. I've been downloading wads of them and hope to try each in turn. Here are some pics of the Alesis dock. I"m still experimenting with it. More to come!

I started this post as a reply to Cosmin when I saw him asking which Delay pedal to buy. But it seems better suited for the iPad/iPod/iPhone thread

VIRTUAL STOMP BOXES AND iOS

If you have an iPhone/iPod/iPad, you can get the IK STOMP BOX which is a very versatile device indeed. You can load any FX you'd like on it and it can become one of dozens of possible fx boxes and acts just like a stomp box It uses your iOS device as it's brains so the device must remain connected though.

OR!!!!!!

The Digitech iSTOMP!!!! Which does all processing in the PEDAL ITSELF so you download your stomp box to the pedal and then you don't need to bring your iphone/pod. The pedal is actually programmed and behaves like a standard pedal. The IK device needs to be connected to an iphone/ipod since it's just an interface really
