Your Recordings / Focusrite iTrack Dock.
April 19, 2015, 10:39:11 PM
New bit of gear - Focusrite iTrack Dock.

Recorded in my kitchen this evening at very low levels.

2tracks - rhythm double tracked and panned slightly L/R
Lead left just off centre.

Pretty chuffed with the quality.

Put a new set of Curt Mangan strings on the 335, then recorded this acoustic straight into iPad using just the onboard mic.

Double tracked in Auria and some tweaking / warming done, then straight up to Soundcloud.

Hope you like it. :)

New iPad app launched today by Positive Grid (the same co that did Bias)

From this

To this

Took me 5 minutes and I have no previous mastering experience.
£13.99 in the UK.

The stuff we have these days. Think I was born 30 years too early!

Blows me away what you can achieve with GarageBand on ipad.

No outboard gear, guitars are real, all others are GB virtual instruments.
Drum is a loop in the app.

Feel like I've achieved something tonight, and will be recording guitars again soon using real amp.  :)

Cover of Everlong by the Foo Fighters. No vocals I'm afraid.

Recorded in GarageBand, imported into Wavemachine Labs very excellent Auria app and tweaked. Drums were GB then went through Drumagog plugin in Auria, it was a laborious and time consuming task but unbelievable it was all done on an ipad.
