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.

Subtle Culprits - new band to follow this 2015

I recently formed a group called Subtle Culprits. It was pure luck to meet all these awesome musicians. It all started with JoinMyBand.  I was desperate for a vocalist and do some acoustic duo so I posted on JoinMyBand as well as Gumtree some ads that Im interested for a vocalist to collaborate with and that Im based in Romsey. There were people who showed interest i.e. emailed me and contacted me. There was one as well who came and visited for an audition. I really admired her voice but still didn't work out because it took me awhile to contact her back after that audition due to moving houses. Anyways, she did not reply or show any interest after that. So, I continued trying my luck. The first one to join was Dan. He got interested because we are from the same area (Romsey). So he messaged me and said that he is a songwriter and a musician. Can play guitar but much comfortable with the bass. So we arranged a meetup and chat, and we did. Exchanged some ideas and songs online...

I mentored a band from scratch

I was first year college, studying nursing when a group of youngsters from Capiz National High School asked  me to help them form a band.  Their band leader was Betong who was the brain of this brilliant idea.  None of the group plays instrument although most of them got knowledge of what the band is and what instruments like drums, keyboards, bass and guitars.  Anyway to cut the story short, the band was starting from scratch or not even scratch because I haven't heard them playing or singing or if they really got the talent or just the guts to do it.  So, I asked them how many are going to join the band and who's going to sing, play the drums, the guitar, the bass and the keyboards if ever?  And because they were all classmates and good friends so they have already decided on who's who and what instrument to play.  I started with the guitarist, which is Daboy and he doesn't know yet how to play the guitar as in proper guitar playing, all he knows is ...
