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!

The Alesis IPad Doc is about $200 US. So less in Euro. A couple hundred bux to turn the ipad in to a usable studio instrument/tool seems an honest value. Midi/XlR Out/In Video Out, etc. It's just handy!

Here is a link with info/video. The vid shows using it for full blown mobile production. Have not tried that yet though.

The list price is nearly $400 US but everyone is selling them for $200 US. It's a killer device and the sound quality is really quite good. I'll upload a sample.

AMPKIT+ for (iPad and iPhone)

I have been experimenting with an APP called AMPKIT for iPad and iPhone. I'm just shocked how good it is for a "Mobile" App. The tone is Impressive. I honestly think it might work for a live gig. You can download it for FREE from the apple store if you have an iOS device. Here are a couple of recordings on stock patches. I read about ALEX SKOLNICK using it for warming up backstage at gigs and thought I'd try it. It RAWKS.

A handy mobile app with a fresh lick every day. Found it on the same site I found AMPKIT.

Very interesting piece of kit Todd, and not costing that much either. Thanks for sharing this smile.gif

More to come wink.gif I also tried an app called iShred Live which is similar to AMP KIT. It's pretty amazing that a device this small can serve as multi track recorder/amp emulator/etc. all wrapped up in one.

Did they create some online store or something? This is where the real money is. I noticed that you can buy models online, so this is the right move. IK Multimedia is doing the same thing now with Amplitube 3.

Yup smile.gif Lots of software vendors are realizing that "Ala Carte" letting folks by just the bits they want. The new AMPLITUDE 3 is FREE! For the base software with a couple of amps/pedals, then it's pay as you go. Here is a link to download the free version.

Here is a pic of the "store front"

How about this, REAPER on iPad! : ) It's running on my my laptop with an app the makes the ipad in to a second monitor. So it also makes REAPER a "touch" app. You just tap the screen to record, play, change level. Pretty cool!

I just bought an Ipad 2 for my kids.. was wondering what kind of goodies were availble for modeling / recording. I was also wondering if the processor could keep up with the demand and not be a latency laggard.

I was just checking out the Alesis IO dock the other day in new Sweetwater Catalog.. looks nice and simple.

I will be watching so please keep posting smile.gif

Thanks Todd,
Gary
