Recording a song on the iPad

Written by Site Update on May 29th, 2010
Summary:

Yes, a full song created and recorded only using the iPad . This is a basic but very good example of how to use latest tech gadgets to actually produce something. Some DIY skills were needed for this project, and that adds some fun to the story. The main problems they had to face were the input volume of the iPad (too hot and unfortunately fixed, at least until Apple does something about it) and the track number’s limitations (but hey, the Beatles did one or two good things even with a few tracks, isn’t it?). The people : Bob Sandifer (engineer) BoneCrusher The Professor The tools : 64gig iPAD Sonoma Wireworks Studio Track A bunch of foam, CD case, Gaffers tape, a little foam ball and a HUGE foam ball. Here’s an excerpt from the song: On Bob Sandifer’s website you can read more about the project and listen to the song. Actually Bob mentions that he has cleaned the single tracks in Logic before the final mix. We’ll contact him to know more about that, and to see how much it influenced the final result.
