Fleer Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 GeoShred is one of the very best iOS apps. Been using it since a few years now. Shredding! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Ditto Fleer! Nice update and great idea! Didn't see that one coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Carpenter Posted October 21, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Yeah, but have you heard the new “real” SWAM instruments? Tenor sax, violin, oboe, clarinet, cello and flute? Wow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!.

Marshall Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Instant buy for me...the sax, OMG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted October 21, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid Rosefelt Posted October 21, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to hear/see a video of a pro playing an EWI wind controller and how expressive this App is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mibby Posted October 21, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mibby Posted October 21, 2020 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
