Yeah, when I think of buying amps now, they usually cost around $6.

Right! And the silly kids now-a-days think 'they' invented the way they incorporate numbers into messages as short hand (which means we should cut them a little some slack: we opened the gates! lol).

While JamUp and the like are totally awesome, admittedly, some of the specific sims make me GAS for real deal, too. Of course, that single-digit price tag is lovely.

No, I am not satisfied.

No he is not kidding, Apple is going to sell this iPad Pro King Size at every McDonalds with big discount when you buy a big happy meal!!!
The iPad Pro will have 16 CPU cores, 8 GPU cores, 2 USB, 2 FireWire interfaces, 2 XLR and 3 tubes!!!
1 12ax7 on each XLR/ mic preamp
1 12au7 in the preamp of the headphone amp
The iPad Pro will include a 24bit 192kHz A/D and D/A converters.
The iPad Pro will have a carry weight which is under 6kg!!! So still much lighter then a tube amp.

Correct I was not kidding ha! Jamup XT Pro never looked and sounded so good on this iPad.

Only 2 XLR and no S/PDIF or MIDI? Junk. No deal.

Just got my Alesis io dock from Zzounds, $149 with a really nice padded carrying case, and it came with the adaptor for my iPad2. Plugged it in, and for my simple usage (good quality outputs without adaptors), it immediately worked perfectly. I'm happy, this will make gig setup simpler and easier.

I'll report back on DAW, MIDI and synth use as I get into that.

DeltaPhoenix · #**210** 01-04-2013, 06:00 PM

Cool, glad you have found something that works for you Smeet.

I am still hunting for something decent for my iPad4. Probably just going to get a Lexicon Omega and camera kit.

I need Sysex as well as IOs, Midi, XLR etc

smeet · #**211** 01-04-2013, 06:17 PM

Yeah, shame about the Sysex. The io dock seems to have everything else.

So say I start some samples playing from IAC. While those samples are playing, I want to trigger some sounds in Animoog or something similar, either onscreen or through MIDI. Will Audiobus allow me to do that?

mattm · #**212** 01-04-2013, 06:36 PM

So here's something weird. I got JamUp Pro and the bass pack, and I ordered their JamUp Plug off Amazon. Works great on my iPad, but when I plug it into my 4th gen iPod Touch, the microphone activates and the app uses that as a source instead of my bass. I've checked all the connections several times, everything is super snug.

I E-Mailed support and got a quick response, but so far no luck. Anybody have any similar issues or ideas?

Rip Topaz · #**213** 01-04-2013, 07:10 PM

Might be that the jack on the iPod is just slightly smaller and it is making the connection it shouldn't. There's always something, huh?

I am not sure what IAC is but if you used LoopyHD you could do this because it is Audiobus compliant.

FYI, for anyone looking to add the Bass Expansion Pack to Jamup, it's on sale right now for $7.99.

Wow, this Lexicon Omega is sick! But do you know for sure it will work with iPad?

I actually doubt it, unless Apple change something their quality of production and following tolerances are very strict. Must be an other reason. My guess something to do with the on/ off function of the internal mic in the iPod.

What was the response from Positive Grid support, btw?

Rip Topaz · #**218** 01-05-2013, 04:14 AM

I managed to work out my volume issues last night. I was having a problem with my Jamup tracks being too quiet in the mix, but only the ones that used my presets.
It turns out that I had the master volume WAY low on my presets in Jamup. So when I recorded the guitar tracks (using the factory presets) they were fine, but when I added bass (using MY settings), the bass was too quiet in MT DAW.
I'm still completely on board with the Audiobus/Jamup/MT DAW combo. It is by far the easiest way to record in iOS.

I was able to slap together a five track demo in less than ten minutes from starting the app for the first time. It oil me ten minutes just to FIND the recorder in Amplitube!! Not really, but MT DAW is really easy to use!! Lol.

Yeah, I am on another, more synth-based and electronic music forum and it is verified that the Lexicon Omega will work with an iPad.

Thanks to all the TB'ers that have contributed to this thread. I got the Ipad as a gift and this thread caught my eye. The more I read the more enthralled I became. Apogee Jam came UPS yesterday. I loaded Jam XT with bass expansion pack, hooked up my Washburn Taurus T-25, Ipad output to my PA and I was lay'n down with the best of the contemporary Christian music world. I'd have never believed what this setup can do if it had not been for this thread. I'm planning to go Ipad to house mixer at practice Sunday afternoon. I think the options are almost unlimited.
Funny side, I called my wife back to where I was practicing last night telling her she was going to see the neatest thing since sweet potato fries, I started the music, joined in on bass, and was just about doing the snoopy dance, I look at her and she says, “yeah so?” Either she had no idea or else she always expects wonderful things out me.

Thanks again, I'm a kid at Christmas. Bill
