iOS, iPhone, iPad and music 101

Yeah, I'm kinda burned about it, too!!

I love my Apogee Jam, don't get me wrong, but the iTrack Solo has digital OUT as well. I would have preferred to have that option but didn't know it existed when I bought my Jam.

If I were to do it all over I would buy the iTrack Solo just for the output.

I'm not going to rub it. The Apogee Jam is great, the best out there for its price.
The iTrack Solo have that little edge with al digital/ analog inn and out. And the headphone amp is a nice addition. There is also a gain control over the line out.

What surprises me is that Focusrite do not mention iPhone (and i guess iPod) compatibility!
 
Yeah, you would think that they'd be all over the iPhone as well. Oh well.

The Apogee Jam is nothing to write off, either way. It's a GREAT interface.

I finally got my gain staging issues worked out yesterday and now my FOH bass sound is THUNDEROUS!! Using my MIA P w/ flats, the rhythm section is just downright TIGHT. I backed off the compression a hair and now it's perfect. Nice and punchy, and the LA comp grabs any nasty peaks before they can do any damage.
 
I made this with GarageBand and my iPad. I recorded every instrument and played every instrument myself. The piano, guitar, and bass were all recorded with my irig but I had to use garagebands drums because mine aren't mic'd yet.

Followed!
Well done....by yourself....good job
To me the melody (solo part) would have stood out soooo much better if it was played like two octaves higher. It would have sat in the mix perfectly. But I really enjoyed it. :)
 
Beatles fan?
This reminded me of "leave my kitten alone" in a very good way.

Great job. America needs more Gilligan's island type shows...a true masterpiece of silliness.

I'm as always quite un-educated!! Never seen Gilligan's Island!!
So there you go:
I do not know Kiss, AC/DC/Iron Maiden/Mr. Big/Scorpions/ repertoire, I hardly knows any Metallica songs, even I know it is Metallica if I hear them. I know zero worship songs, never seen Gilligan's Island, have no idea how Black Sabbath sounds....

In my own little bubble I do listen to that:
1) Yes
2) Genesis
3) Spock's Beard
4) The Flower Kings
5) Asia
6) The Syn
7) Transatlantic
8) Marillion
9) The Police
10) King Crimson
11) Rush
12) Mew
13) Team Me
14) The Killers
15) ELP

Well, I do listen to more, but as you see I'm quite limited to prog rock!!
 
Yeah, you need some Sabbath in your repertoire. :)

Unfortunately, in the early 70's when prog first appeared, there were a few different camps.

Sabbath was NOT a prog band though they did get a bit experimental over the years. They were at their heart a BLUES band. And a damn good one.
 
Are there any iOS practice programs that allow songs to be imported from dropbox? I know a lot of ios apps allow files like PDFs to be transferred from dropbox to the appropriate program. The band I play with uploads new material into a shared dropbox drive so it would be handy to be able to pull directly from there on the ipad/iphone to practice along with instead of having to download it to my PC, transfer it to itunes, sync itunes to the device and then transfer it into the respective program (amplitube/ampkit/jamup etc).
 
Blues?!???!?!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Guy,
Don't go youtube sabbath and think that you're about to hear "blues"

@rip
I know what you mean "structure wise"
But I don't think of the sabs when blues are mentioned :)

Listen to their earlier stuff, like Hole in the Sky. Even the Paranoid album has some heavy blues influence.

But I wouldn't go into it expecting Muddy Waters, that's for damn sure.
