The Guitar #1 (Harpsichord)

I am using for Apps to shape my classical guitar sound for playing the main theme

Amplitube Acoustic

Picture
Usely I am not using this App for an acoustic sound, I prefer the MicSwap App, but here I wanted a non conventional acoustic sound....
Something close to the Harpsichord used in the Massive Attack version..
The 12 strings pedal is not really realistic but here I am happy with it...
Despite this there are 2 things that I really don’t love in all their Apps...
1) This f.....g ads when you launch one of their Apps... (ok, this company is a business company only, but....)
The second thing is that The MIDI settings are too much minimalist....

AudioReverb

Picture
There are 2 reverbs that I really really love....
AudioReverb and AUFX Space....
The + of AudioReverb is that you can use it as an Audio Unit plug-ins ....

Kosmonaut

Picture
All the Apps from Bram Bos are awesome....
This delay is my favorite one...
Perfect! (Audio Unit)
To conclude, if you need a delay....
​don’t hesitate....

FAC Chorus

Picture
A Chorus, or the Chorus...
​I love it as well as all the other Apps that I have from this developer....

AUFX - Space

Picture
I live it!
I know, it’s not an Audio Unit compatible. App but all the parameters can be controlled via MIDI
Here I use it as an Aux effect for the Guitar, the Tubular Bells, the Vocal and the Drum (Brkti)

The Bass (break)

I am using 3 Apps to generate the bass and shape its sound

StepPolyArp

Picture
So easy to use,...
So great!
An arpeggiator with built in sounds (Here I am using the Round Bass preset)
There is also an Audio Unit version of this App....
​Perfect!

FAC Chorus
​(seen it above and check out the keynote for the settings I am using for all these Apps)

FAC Maxima

Picture
From the same developer of FAC Chorus
Maxima is very dangerous...
More addictive than heroine....
you use it one time and want to use it every time...
It’s a kind of Compressor, Maximizer....
​Awesome!

The Guitar #2 (Distortion Guitar)

I am using 5 Apps to turn my classical guitar into a Les Paul

FAC Chorus / AudioReverb / Kosmonaut / Amplitube and Ghost Rider 2 (see below)

Amplitube

Picture
The sound quality of the IK Guitar’s Apps is very cool
My problem are exactly the same as for the acoustic version...
The too minimalist MIDI settings feature and this F.....g ads!

Rough Rider 2

Picture
I didn’t want to use an App from this developer, but I had to download all the music’s Apps I had into my iPad a few days ago and Rough Rider2 is so great that I didn’t succeed to not use it....
​A awesome compressor!

Auddly

Picture

Backup

When I finished to work on a song, I backup everything in the Cloud, and my iPad too...
Auddly is really great because it allows you to upload audio files, to share them and to download them.
Much more better than SoundCloud when you are using an iOS device.
You can

iBandManager

Picture

This App is no more available.
unfortunately...
You can import into it all kind of documents and share them later....
All my Audio Files are save inside, my keynote (see below), video files, pdf
​

Tap to view all the routing, presets, everything.....

For this song, I am using a lot of Apps...
I will show you all the Apps I am using to play this song live, all the Apps I am using before and after to play this song...

(a link to the keynote and all the presets I am using is also available at the end of this post)

iMIDI Patchbay / iRig Blueboard / AUM - Audio Mixer / modstep (Sequencer & Sampler) / Amplitude / Amplitube acoustic / AudioReverb (2 instances) / Kosmonaut (2 instances) / FAC Chorus (3 instances) / Maxima / StepPolyArp / bs - 16i / AUFX- Space / Auddly / Band Manager / Audioshare / Midi East Drummer / Groove Rider GR-16 Soundscaper / Rough Rider / Magellan (check out the part 2) / iCab Mobile

Tap an App icon to jump to the App Store

Picture

iCab Mobile

The first App I am using is iCab Mobile..
icab is the best web browser! Much more better than all the browser available for Mac OS!
I am using it to download videos from YouTube.
Here the acapella vocal of Elisabeth Frazer
Here is the link:
​https://youtu.be/l7iCmLoFoyA

AudioShare

Picture
AudioShare is a Must Have for musicians.
A files manager (Audio / Video / zip / MIDi Files ), a file converter....
It’s also an audio editor with a snap to grid feature! This is awesome!
Because Teardrop has been recorded with Drum Machine it was really easy for me to split the voice into several part....
I also use AudioShare to save all my files (backup) when I finished to work on a song

​Here are the link of the all the audio vocal files I am using to play this song
​Verse 1 https://app.auddly.com/au/cSWvBLHIhzTofXLKoPXTQWIda54d48pA
Chorus 1 https://app.auddly.com/au/cl2OJUgyKuvtK3VdOCkcm0A4EayujY4o
verse 2 https://app.auddly.com/au/og3OfRvUCCXJvxXcgEqxPx0F0YYkFk7C
Verse 3 https://app.auddly.com/au/og3OfRvUCCXJvxXcgEqxPx0F0YYkFk7C
End https://app.auddly.com/au/2RGQz68pZ5HiorlCQsC5gdXmAmIHBPqo

I only have one wishes for AudioShare (because I am a very old man....)
​A bigger or the ability to zoom a waveform while editing

Magellan

Picture
I love Magellan!
One of my favorite synthesizer... (it’s not one, but 2 synthesizers with this App!)

But because of it, I had to change the way I am playing a song live...
I have a big problem with it...
I am using 2 pedalboards (12 Steps and Blueboard) but impossible to set the input MIDI channel into Magellan...
So, when I am playing a key with my 12 steps pedalboard, Magellan plays....
Because of this I had to sample my Magellan parts and send them into modstep.
Here are the links of the Magellan parts
Intro https://app.auddly.com/au/cp1uxVWm9jpr7IqKKJTNxodELq12xjcN
Verse https://app.auddly.com/au/uBC3BY4ltBlcd96ATy8QUxtX1j8q34xr
Chorus https://app.auddly.com/au/Qz0ry8TWEpVpKbUgXFgPyxyMKCzEzCut

iRig Blueboard

Picture
This is the App link to the Blueboard pedalboard
It’s a IK Multimedia App...
It means for me that the MIDI setting options are too much minimalist...
The pedalboard is cool, not so expensive compared to other but the lack of an AC adapter is really annoying...
The cool things is that you can plug 2 expression pedals.

iMIDI Patchbay

Picture
With it I can load the adequate program of all the compatible Apps I am using to play a song...
Here, Mid Eat Drummer, StepPolyArp, bs-16i
I use it also to split my 12 Step pedalboard in zones (3 max) or to change the playing octave....

Note that another App from the same developer can do a lot of things too...
Perhaps even more...
It's Midiflow...

AUM - Audio Mixer

Picture
I guess that you all have this App...
If not, jump right now to the App Store to get it!

The +++ of this App is that you can control it with other App or external keyboard..
This App is perfect!!
But because I love it and need it so much I would like to have more....
A Midi learn feature (Mute / Un muted) for a bus send.....
The Ableton Link Start a top feature too but I guess that is is on the hHH e way.....

SoundScaper

Picture

1 App playing sound

This App is really awesome to create textures, Drones,....
You can import your own audio files....
Automation.....
Just awesome!
Here I am use a Demo preset.
The App starts playing when I play AUM (IAA start and Stop)

Groove Rider GR-16

Picture

2 App playing sound

This is my favorite Groove Box App like.
The sound quality is so awesome!
The App is really easy to use...
I have only 2 wishes which is the ability to name a preset and to export it (backup)

Mid East Drummer

Picture

3 App playing sound

A Lumbeat App!
I don’t know for you, but for me, I am I am starting to work on a song, I always launch a Lumbeat App...
So awesome!
They are much more than Drum or percussion machines!
You have someone in the App!
It’s crazy!
The jam mode is awesome, everything is awesome!
There are a few lite version of them in the App Store, so if you don’t know them, try it!
​It will change the way you use to work!
Here I am using a factory groove and sound preset...
(check out the keynote at the end of this post....

modstep

Picture

3 App playing sound

modstep is a kind of Ableton for iOS
It’s a MIDI sequencer, a sampler, and synthesizer.
It works with scene that you can recall as you like.
I am controlling it with my 12 step pedalboard.
I am using 2 Sampler tracks, 1 for the Magellan and 1 for the Vocal.
I am also use 3 MIDI track to play the Tubular bells (bs-16i), the Bass (StepPolyArp) and the Drum (break / built in program)
The MIDI learn feature is really great and allows!
I only have one wishes in a future update: Undo and Redo

Bismark bs-16i

Picture

3 App playing sound

A Must Have too...
It’s a Soundfont files player.
16 tracks, a Mixer with a delay, a reverb and a chorus
Why a Must Have?
Because you can import your own Soundfont files into this App and there are a lot of Free packs on the web...
So, It’s an open expander....
​Top!

    Because I can read everywhere a Policy...

    1. this blog is man by a human for humans
    2. I can make some mistakes (because I am a human)
    3. Nothing will deleted or removed from this blog. For my mistakes or angers, apologies and corrections will be added if needed.
    4. You can see everyday on a banner in the What's hot today post the Apps offered by a developer...
    5. If you participate to the Sunday Contest, you will have to trust in me... But, if you like you can asked me the email list of the readers who participate to a Contest included Time and Date. I will send it to you...
    6. My rating... The first criterion is the App Store description. The last one is my taste and this is totally subjective... Each post come with a tutorial showing you all the knobs, menu, faders,.... Everything that you will be able to find in an App... I hope that this will help to make your own rating.
    7. If I really don't like an App, don't understand it or found too many bugs, I send an email to the developer.... I asked him if the App will be update shortly, I also offer my services as Beta Tester.... Most of the time, I will wait for a future update... Developers are humans too!...
    8. All comments will be publish here. For insults, offenses or very bad mood, the only restriction is that you have to sign with your real name...
    9. I don't know... Peraphs that I will add something later.
