Prime_BASS Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 So I just got an iPad from Santa and I was wondering what are the best and most useable apps for a budding musician. I don't have a mac book but if I could do some basic recording on this thing that would be awesome. Thanks dudes. Merry Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Merry Christmas . Kaossilator, garageband, moog, alchemy, tune in radio, nano studio. Angry birds& a few pinball games. You may get discounts because of the holiday period loads more , but I'll leave that to the rest of the basschatters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 All of the above, plus some sort of interface of course. If it were me (and it was two Christmases ago) I'd get a JAM, although I've just spotted he new version and it's now well over £100 :-(. My fav app for bass players is a Amp kit. It has some pretty good simulations of some pretty big name gear, including Ashdown (without wooly emulation) and Trace Elliot. Well worth the asking price IMO.

xgsjx Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Guitar Toolkit is a very handy piece of kit for tuning,learning scales, chords & charts & also has a metronome/drum machine. Worth every penny of £5.99. Tabletop is a handy free app too. It's like having a table with different bits of kit on it (sequencer, drum machine, synths, effects, etc) & you can add to it (I already had the Akai iMPC app which I can use in it). You can also record into it, but I'm not sure if it's any good for that. Animoog is fun & was £2.99 about a month ago, but it's now £29.99 again.

vsmith1 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 PocketGK - if you want a GK amp model; but also JamUp XT Pro - for lots of stuff; PolyTune; OnSong; Guitar Pro +1 iReal Pro; +1 GarageBand; +1 AmpKit And a reasonable interface - I have a Peavey AmpKit. But a better quality one will be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassist_lewis Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 ForScore is great for charts you have in PDF format (I think you can convert iRealb charts to PDF) and organise them into sets, by artist, genre, tags, very useful app. If you want to write notation get Notion, bit pricey but very good.

GremlinAndy Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 iLift is a tasty app for learning songs. Works great and is pretty cheap for the full version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Session Band (Jazz, Blues, Rock etc) is great. Roland Cube Jam is ace (and FREE) and will work with a iRig interface - you don't need to buy the CubeJam amp. It does very accurate speed and pitch changes and will import songs directly from iTunes too. I use it all the time to learn new stuff.

goblin Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 iRealB, The Amazing Slow Downer (changes speed without changing the pitch, can also change pitch by the semitone without changing speed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dand666 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I use set list maker and use this for my shows and all my music. I can upload PDFs or documents and upload them next to the appropriate song. With the correct chords it also allows me to change keys e.t.c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ah right, same as all mine. I was going to suggest the older JAM interface but the new version with the lightning connector is a lot more money so won't bother (it is very good though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill F Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 You will certainly need a tuner and a metronome. You can try this app: "Cadenza: Tuner + Metronome" [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Seems to work pretty well. And it has a [size=4]h[/size][/font][/color][size=4][color=#000000][font=Helvetica]igh degree of accuracy.[/font][/color][/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
