Turn Your iPad Into A Music Studio
So you play a mean guitar and want to record
your music but you don’t have a big budget to sink into a full home recording
studio. Don’t fret (pun intended, sorry I couldn’t help it.)
because you can turn your iPad into an all-in-one recording studio.
That’s right.
You can now let out your
inner rock star on the go and not miss the moment your muse tickles your brain
with new music ideas. For years people have been using garageband to
record from their apple desktop computers, but who would have thought that you
could bring your music studio with you and record “in the moment”. Here
are a few options that really make it easy.
StudioConnect
by Griffin
The StudioConnect by
Griffin is an innovative simple docking studio for your iPad. You can plug your
guitar in, or a MIDI device. It also has a separate jack for your
headphones. This is quite possibly the best thing to happen to home
recording enthusiasts. It’s not designed for pros but it will do the job
for most people just trying to lay down some great tracks from the comfort of
your own home.
iOdock by Alesis
For those of you who
consider yourselves a pro, you might want a few more jacks. The IOdock
from Alesis has quite a few more options. It is a bit more pricey.
(About $50 more) but you can connect more instruments at the same time
and record all at once. It has a 25 degree angle to so you can easily
stand and play while watching it at the same time. It will easily allow
you to get professional sound in an on the go package.
Now that you are
recording with your iPad, you don’t want to use just any headphones to go along
with it. Instead you should make sure you are hearing all of the nuances
in your music. For this I would actually recommend ZAGG’s Bluetooth
Headphones found here.
ZAGG’s Bluetooth Headphones
Now that you have the
freedom to record anywhere you want, don’t make the mistake of tying yourself
down with cables. Instead, choose some bluetooth headphones that give you
the sound you are craving and set you up to really have a fantastic recording
experience anywhere you want to be.
One of the big
complaints about the iPad is that it’s a device mainly used for consumption. That may very well be the case, but products and add on’s like these open
up a whole new world to those who want to create. So let the creativity
begin! Don’t just check your email or facebook or play games, use this
amazing device to give the world the music that is inside you. Who know’s
you might just make it big. You might create something that will live on
forever, or you might just have the fun you’ve always been craving.
Whatever you do, get started right now and enjoy all of the
possibilities.
