Yes. Cubase on your iPad. Think about that for a second.
Cubasis for iPad is about as full featured as you can get on iOS and the full list of features is jaw-dropping (I suggest heading over to their website for the full rundown) but here's the key features:
- Unlimited audio and MIDI tracks (depending on the device used)
- Over 70 virtual instrument sounds based on HALion Sonic
- Mixer with over 10 effect processors (insert and send effects)
- Over 300 MIDI and audio loops
- Virtual keyboard and virtual drum pads
- Sample Editor and Key Editor
- Export to Cubase, Dropbox, SoundCloud, AudioCopy & email
- Core Audio and Core MIDI compatible hardware supported
- Sequence other Core MIDI apps (MIDI recording only) and run Cubasis simultaneously via background audio
- Import audio from your iTunes music library or using iTunes filesharing, use AudioPaste or set up a Wi-Fi server in Cubasis
It's very very impressive and priced accordingly. Looking at this I'm struck by the fact that the one DAW that almost seems perfectly designed for multi-touch is so far nowhere to be seen on iOS. Ableton, are you paying attention?
Get it on the App Store for AU$51.99.
