Fleer Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 GeoShred is one of the very best iOS apps. Been using it since a few years now. Shredding! 1
ZincT Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Ditto Fleer! Nice update and great idea! Didn't see that one coming. 1
Tony Carpenter Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Have it on my iPhone and my iPad. Definitely prefer it on my iPad. It's a very fun interface and the ability to control other vsts and real instruments is very cool too. 1
Marshall Posted October 21, 2020 Author Posted October 21, 2020 Yeah, but have you heard the new “real” SWAM instruments? Tenor sax, violin, oboe, clarinet, cello and flute? Wow! 1

I am amazed how cheap these SWAM instruments are compared to the usual ones as a VST. It'll be interesting to see how many types get added over time!. Edited October 21, 2020 by Tony Carpenter 1
ZincT Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Yup they sound great and hopefully won't take up too much storage as they are modelled sounds. Cheaper to get all 6 instruments but I might wait for a BF/Christmas deal. 1
Reid Rosefelt Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) I remember the days when my only forum was the Audiobus Forum and I did all my music on my iPad. Those were the days when $20 apps were considered insanely expensive. $20! Are you nuts? $10 was pricey. GeoShred is awesome, and there are so many other genius iPad apps. Borderlands, TC-11, Nave, Fugue Machine, Gestrument.... Edited October 22, 2020 by Reid Rosefelt 1

mibby Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 This may be a dumb question, but how do you guys get your files OFF the iPad? I started in Garage Band there years ago, had a blast, then went through all sorts of gyrations just to get the audio files off the iPad and into a DAW on Windows so I could work with them. That was the last time i used the iPad for music.

They've recently added solo brass (trumpet, trombone, horn) instruments to their line-up. I seem to remember from reading their roadmap that ensembles were up next - things have slowed a little from their original timeline, but apparently it's still their plan.

I remember reading an email a while ago saying that while they didn't do the usual sales, they were doing a one-off sale to celebrate something or other. They might change their mind, I don't know. In any case, this might be the one you're after (take a seat and put down anything fragile before you look at the price... which isn't that bad for what you're actually getting) https://audiomodeling.com/swam-all-in-bundle/

Still that SWAM All-in-bundle for desktop makes the iPad one seem like a bargain albeit for fewer libraries! I might be tempted by a couple of the desktop versions though if they have any decent BF sales.

That was the last time i used the iPad for music. @mibby I have a simple Y cable that comes out of my iPad and the two stereo outputs go into my audio interface, and from there I get stereo audio into my DAW. I have not tried getting MPE into a DAW, but I’d like to if this were possible. 1
mibby Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Don't know if it applies here, but IIRC, I was able to get the GarageBand files onto a Mac/GarageBand, then was able to export the audio files from there, then had to find a DAW that could import the GB formatted file type (AIF I think) and convert it to a WAV file. I think I used Reaper for this step. (?) I was happy enough to be able to decode the GB files. I didn't even try to get the MIDI information. Maybe GeoShred is a little friendlier than GarageBand with exporting your data so you can actually use it on non-Apple systems?
