Guitar Gear Forum

I just recently got a Focusrite itrack dock for my iPad, and was wondering what daw apps other people use. Also what you use for drums,bass, and guitar tones. I have GarageBand which came with the iPad.

I use Auria. For drums I use a Tama drumkit, for bass I use an SVT450 and for guitar I use an AC30 and a Stiletto Ace combo. There are mics and an interface involved too.

Unhelpful post is unhelpful.

Drums suck ass on the iPad...I eventually gave up and bought EZDrummer 2, easy enough to render as a wav file and import into iTunes and then sync. I used GarageBand, as it was free, intuitive and very easy to use as a noob recording for the first time...guitar tones is where the iPad stuff shines, as there are a fuckton of usable apps.

Favorites are: Ampkit, JamUp, BIAS, Stompbox, Amplitube Orange, Flying Haggis, and ToneStack.

UBER cool shit for FX are Thumbjam (you have to get this...there's a CELLO in there that's just beautiful, and this app is on sale right now for $1.99), NodeBeat, Magellan(this is a synth app, but you can run guitars thru it for badass tones and it's seriously deep), Echopad, Crystalline, DR-OM(drone app, this is cool as fuck for doom-shoegaze stuff), AUFX:Space and AUFX:Dub(for delays and reverbs), Molten, Arctic Prosynth, Sunrizer, and Moog Filtatron. All kinds of cool stuff.

I haven't kept up on it for the last few months as I grabbed a GSP1101 and have been working with that, but there are some great tones to be had. Couple forums for this kind of stuff:

about to start doing this on lunch breaks.

Is the Focusrite the standard interface to use?

Just grab an Apogee Jam if all you're going to do is headphone practice at lunch, dude. $99.
