On Spotify

Well as of a few minutes ago we went LIVE on Spotify. iTunes, Google Play Music, Youtube Red, Amazon Music, Shazam and more to follow over the next few hours. I have to say getting distribution was easier than I expected which was GREAT! This 11 track album plus 2 singles were created mainly mobile on an Apple iPadPro tho we took a few bried forays into Ableton Live as well. Launchpads from Novation, Akai MPD218 and an MPD226 utilied here n there as well as an old APC40 and more. What a trip man!

AudioKit Synth One And an Akai APC40

AudioKit Synth One And an Akai APC40 after using both the APC40 and the Novation Launch Control XL I think the Launch Control wins for working with Synth One since it can be Bus Powered. The pads on both alas aren’t optimal so a keyboard of some type would be better for playing the notes. The encoders on both work fantastic tho.

Isabella & Logan drumming in Garageband

Isabella & Logan drumming in Garageband showing off that yes you can indeed use more than 1 smart drummer in a song and vary settings on the fly to get a delicious beat down. I really hope they add the ability to have drummers use other Kits espescially the Taiko Drums from Japan.

Desktop Garageband on an iPadPro using Splashtop

Desktop Garageband on an iPadPro using Splashtop streamer and the IOS app.This is pretty amazing for a $4.99 app I must say. I did not test this extensively. I even tried it on a old iMac from 2006 that I’m running Windows 7 on and it works even on that tho Ableton plus the Splashtop Streamer coupled with its 2 Gig RAM is not a happy combo. The Mac has 16 gigs in it that I did this on. I totally forgot to try running the Mac with the Monitor off to see if I could run as a Headless server. This system is essentially your own Cloud computing system. Access your Mac and Windows PC from practically any mobile device or computer.
Download the Splashtop Personal app for your iPad, iPhone, Android, Kindle Fire, Windows tablet, Windows Phone, and of course Mac or Windows PC.
