Using both live jams and studio sessions, he shows how today's iOS apps offer a surprisingly full-featured toolbox - from flexible signal routing to fine-tuning effects with precision.
The setup hinges on one key addition: a good external audio interface. With that, the iPad steps up as a lean and portable audio workstation.
It’s a workflow that's both intuitive and affordable, yet capable of delivering studio-quality sound - something that speaks to pros and passionate hobbyists alike.
Here's an ambient Mellotron improv in AUM using the following apps: Stellarvox, VintageRack and Classic FX. The main Mellotron sound is the classic Mk2 3 Violins but I also use sounds from the M400 such as cello, choirs, flute, oboe and saxophones.
This improv is based around Stellarvox, a hybrid reverb app that’s gives you extensive control over reverb tails, including space, tone and time. ClassicFX provides some modulation and delay while Vintage Rack is at the end of the chain for compression and to widen the stereo field with a Dimension D effect.
Here's an ambient bass improv in AUM using Stellarvox and VintageRack apps.
I used a Gibson SG Standard bass with LaBella flatwound strings. This improv is based around Stellarvox, a hybrid reverb app from Igor that’s gives you extensive control over reverb tails, including space, tone and time. I used his VintageRack for compression, modulation and delay at the beginning of the chain. Another instance of VintageRack at the end of the chain for some soft limiting to tame some peaks while using Stellarvox.
