Must have iPad apps for DJ/Producers?

[djmetalgear]

I really wish I could find some ipad apps that were actually worth using for production

I really like touchable as an app and it is very well thought out, better than lemur for controlling ableton... However I just don't find myself using it or any of the other ipad apps I've bought. I just don't think touch screen interfaces and anything I've used are really that great in practice, which is a shame since I want them to be.

This should change yours and everyones mind...

Easy, quick, prefer it to touchosc

How have I never come across this. Sweet potatoes, I was sold at super knobs.

Yeah the superknobs are cool - when you mix them with the X-Y pads you can have some fx fun that just isn't possible with a physical controller (off-the-shelf types I mean)

I have the camera connection kit, a USB to MIDI cable... and an S4. Theoretically, I should be able to combine those for direct MIDI control shouldn't I? Without having to set up an ad-hoc and all that hoo-ha

[Nicky H]

Yeah - I haven't tried it that way, I just connect over my wi-fi (on PC using Apple bonjour print server) and ad-hoc when on macbook - the latency is fine for a secondary controller that way.

But yeah you can use the camera connection kit I think.

I have FLStudio Mobile and Glitchbreaks. Despite using FLstudio for years, I don't find the the app intuitive at all. The sample importing is tedious. The effects are lame and I'm not a fan of the sequencer. What do I expect for $20 though? I was thinking about picking up Beatmaker 2 to see if I like the work flow better. Glitchbreaks is fun, but seems gimmicky. I need to give it more time.
