    Vocal Effects via Digital Interface/iPad AUM

    Yeah, I've been able to get it to work. It can be as simple as plugging the mic into the interface, and linking a footswitch to say, a reverb node in AUM, I just wonder whether it's a better idea to get a dedicated pedal so that it's merely an intermediary between the mic and the PA run by the...

    Vocal Effects via Digital Interface/iPad AUM

    I've been performing live with my iPad/midi controller and an app called AUM which is basically a mixer where I control all my instruments, loops, etc. I just bought a Nektar Pacer to have even more control over instruments and effects, and the next step or leap I want to take is to have the...

    Electric Guitar into iPad via Interface, How to Use iPad as Speaker?

    I've figured it out, and actually it's something I essentially tried a little earlier and for some reason it wasn't working, but it's pretty simple: since the midi interface takes over once plugged into the iPad, I plug my 3.55mm chord into the headphone jack of the midi interface, and the dual...

    Electric Guitar into iPad via Interface, How to Use iPad as Speaker?

    Short story, I run my instrumentals via my iPad and run a 3.55mm from the headphone jack in the iPad, to two dual 1/4" stereo plugs that go into my mixer. Now I want to have my electric guitar go thru my iPad for looping and playing purposes. When I run my guitar into a midi interface that's...

    What's the hum/buzz coming from? Electric Guitar

    I'll look into the DI Box. I'm running a Behringer mixer into my audio interface. No USB on mixer. What's weird is I got some good takes doing it this way before this happened.

    (Alternative Hip-Hop) My Version of the Blues

    Thanks. I may go back to the ad libs and do some different things, but I won't touch the dynamics. Appreciate it!

    (Alternative Hip-Hop) My Version of the Blues

    I recorded my vocals with the Shure SM 27 (I like this mic) and mixed everything in Reason. Used the SSL compressor on vocals and a few of the instruments. High pass filter on vocals. Otherwise didn't mess with the EQ. Played guitar and turned what I recorded into a sample and put it through...

    Beatlooping VST

    I'm looking for a MPC style/Kong (Reason) pad VST that allows me to load samples, and when triggered, loop. Kong has some bugs so that when I do use the NN-Nano Sampler as part of Kong and set it to "Loop Forward" on say Pad 1, as soon as I do the same on Pad 2, it reverts Pad 1 to "No Loop."...

    Effects on Knobs like Koala for PC

    I really like the effects that come with Koala on the iPad that you can control with the knobs of a midi controller (reverb, distortion filters, reverse, etc.) and I've been on the hunt for something like that for my desktop. The closest thing I've come up with so far is Synchronous Effect...

    DAW Alternative to Cubasis 3

    Just an update to this. I think the issue was rooted in the fact that I was adding entire songs to the sample slots in Koala, which is a little much in terms of processing power. So instead, what I did is, like I said previously, put all my instrumentals (mp3) on one track, and had a selection...

    DAW Alternative to Cubasis 3

    I have Cubasis 3 on my iPad only. It's a basic iPad, but a new one. I figured out what's wrong. Yes, I did do a re-install, and then I determined it's the third-party inter-app or audio units function that either the iPad couldn't handle or Cubasis didn't like. Instead of using Koala inside...

    DAW Alternative to Cubasis 3

    Got a show coming up and unfortunately when practicing, Cubasis 3 started crashing. I was using a couple instrument tracks with my midi keyboard and integrating Koala sampler as an audio input that would play my instrumentals. Now I don't trust the DAW to work during the show without crashing...

    Livestream volume low with iPad

    Appreciate the suggestion. It would work, but then, that would defeat the purpose of keeping it simple. I can do this through my desktop already, just feel it would be real convenient to just press play on the iPad.
