No idea if it's 16 or 24 bit but for in/out they got it covered and it's in a very nice package. Thus when I first heard of the Alesis iO Dock, I wanted to check out its specs as well. Since Apogee is well known for it's D/A A/D converters I wasn't surprised to see they were offering 24/44 quality. ![]() The first real interface I seen was the Apogee Jam (it was in the video for the intro of the iPad 2). When I was really working on using the iPad for a DAW (more as a looper really) the Alesis dock was no doubt on the drawing board.

Supposed to work with most of the available music apps Seems to address many of those interface issues, and is the Alesis dock that Bill posted a link to Thanks, looks like you've explored this setup really I find the iPad one of those things that I just bought for the heck of it and the longer I have it the more uses I can find for it. If being "wired" to the audio interface doesn't work for you, I've used the Sennheiser Freeport wireless from the guitar to iPad and done recording that way too.Īs from the control surface and recording, I've also used some MIDI programs (S1 MIDI Trigger) so I can send MIDI commands (usually to control bit of kit or a DAW). I tried a rather pricey one called StudioTracks, but it's limited to mic recording only.

I don't like this style remember to check for audio in/out and monitoring.Īctually getting the audio in and out is what you have to be aware of. So you play and monitor with half a headphone.

One of the most useful apps on it for me is put out by MOTU and it's a complete control surface app for Digital Performer. I've been using an iPad since the first one came out and for somethings it's great and others, don't so much. I've always seen the role of the computer in the arts as that of assistant, taking the craft out of process and letting you simply deal with the idea. Yes, there are solutions that have more "professional" cachet, but is that really what you want/need? I just want to easily and accurately record my own music. I myself don't want to have to learn the technical mumbo-jumbo of audio engineering. How this results in pure drivel escapes me. If your aim is to get better as a musician/guitarist/composer by recording yourself at home then I don't see how a solution that does the job, is affordable and can be used by everyone isn't a good thing. This prevents many people from understanding or getting good at anything. Apple has gotten rid of any learning curve. It affordable and does the job, but it is made so everyone can use it. "Apple makes stuff that is absolute middle of the ground. I think you have to take some of the things that Jake says with a grain of salt.
