Is there an iPad that specializes in loops (for live DJing)
I will stress, I’m looking for something to go w/ DJing w/ CDs, so an intuitive way to adjust tempo down to .01% preferrably is a must… preferably something not too sensitive since I have dick fingers.
Anywho, I’d really like to treat this app like a 3rd deck… but would mainly just use it for loops. As such, the loops would have to be quantized, a la Traktor. I looked at iMaschine but AFAIK, that’s not going to have the nudging I need for the tempo.
Sorry for the general question… I’ve just been out of it for ages and actually traded my wife for an iPad recently.
These both seem to support some other type of controller or software. Nifty, but not what I’m looking for. I actually want to hook the audio up to the mixer on a 3rd channel. Basically, bring my 3rd deck with me (w/o having to lug around a 3rd deck).
That might work. I’m only thinking for relatively small places that don’t have stellar sound anyway, so the normal jack is probably okay. But, I might look into the Alesis dock if it really is that much better.
Kaek: How much control do you have over the tempo? What I would want is literally, a button that can shift it in as small of increments as .01. Does it have something like that?
Dude – wait for the book. So happy w/ the iPad. Although she’s on my ass to get the kid one, so I might pass him this one (iPad2) and get a 3. Gotta save some duckets or sell something first.
Hmm… not sure if this is going to cut it then. I would only use a single deck, and it would go directly to a channel on the mixer. I would set the tempo to match whatever the 2 CDJs are running at… of course, it won’t be perfect so I need something to pitch bend – same function as the platter… but, preferably a button. I’m assuming it’s more like Live where you make sure everything is synced before and then do your biness.
That would work, but I’m presumably going to be doing it simultaneous to 2 CDJs. While it’s possible, it’s a lot harder. I’d rather avoid that if I can. Looks like Sonorasauras Rex does what I want out of the box. Might give it a shot.
i would recommend IMachine. you can upload your own loops and set out the layout and between them but i would clean you iPod memory first and just the one app on it. iPods are like mini computers so you have treat like a computer otherwise it will crash and kick you out of the app. (happened to me before live)
