iPad mobile recording home studio

I used to record using my netbook and here's my blog about it "How I setup my mobile recording studio;" however, recently some of my friends ask me about cheap recording and I found that what I was using in a sense is not that cheap because I bought my USB audio interface and the recording software separately and not to mention the price of the netbook or laptop for that matter.  Now I was researching on how to record guitar or vocals with just backing tracks and that's when the idea of iPad recording came about.

A lot of us now own iPad1 or iPad2 or mini-iPad.  Well, we can convert this into a proper recording equipment.  There are just a couple of things to do or to buy.  First is to purchase from App store Garageband then second is to buy an audio interface.  I found that the Line 6 In Mobile Interface is the cheapest one to use.  You can use this if you're recording guitar or bass and even during home rehearsals because in the garageband you got your amps and effects already.  If you're a vocalist or a keyboardist, you can use this one as well because it has Line In option.  Meaning from your amp or mixer you can plug it into your iPad via this Line6 MobileIn.

Now, if you have a little more budget then you can choose Apogee JAM Studio Quality Guitar input for iPad, iPhone and Mac, another audio interface for iPad.  It's really good in recording guitars. You'll be surprised how this tiny things can do.  The power of small.  See for yourself guys.  Read more about the interface and decide for yourself most especially if you already own an iPad.

Front Act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas City

We were invited to do a front act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas.  During those time, Introvoys was a big hit especially with their song Line To Heaven and Will I Survive to name afew. There were a lot of bands that time who's going to front act and I can't remember exactly the names but there's one that I can still remember and it's called Freaky Deaky, not sure if the spelling is correct. They sang Nirvana, Offspring, Collective Soul, etc. where they almost consume the entire time for all the frontacts.  We were the last band and the organizer asked us to cut short with our setlist and we ended up with just 3 songs.  We were not pleased but anyhow, we still chose our 3 best songs and that were Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie And The Blowfish where I was the one who sang it, To Be With You by Mr. Big and our bassist, Dolores sang it then our last song was Hotel California by Eagles where Jingle and I blend together at the ending guitar solo and Louie sang it.

My DIY pedalboard

I am using an improvised setup for my effects and gadgets.  At the moment what Im using is a Digitech RP55 guitar processor and I bought on ebay an M-Audio expression pedal and sort of opened it and changed some polarity inside to match my Digitech foot pedal and it was a success.  I can now use the pedal either as a wah or whammy.  I was quite pleased with it because not only it's a small one but it's got a big punch. So much for that.  Now, having two pedals; a multieffects processor with the expression pedal connected to it, I think a pedalboard is a necessity.  Why?  Because the two pedals keep moving about and I had to kick it each time so that they are close to each other. What to do then? First thing's first, I looked online for DIY pedalboards as well as proper pedalboards that are commercially available and ready to be used.  Well, it's all good but I got an improvised setup so I was thinking that it won't fit my needs.  I ended...
