Pete Cottrell

Pete Cottrell rocks out on his iPad and guitar with several apps. “All audio was recorded, mixed and mastered on an iPad Mini however for technical reasons, I did have to record the guitar audio from the iPad onto the computer and then re-import it back onto the iPad. I didn’t change or edit anything though. I’m stupid and couldn’t get it to record straight onto the iPad using Audio Bus or Inter App Audio without feedback but a cleverer person than me could do this completely on the iPad.”

Apps used in this video are: BeatMaker 2, GarageBand, Drums XD, Positive Grid Jamup/Bias, GeoShred, Audio Bus and Positive Grid Final Touch.

BeatMaker 2 – INTUA

GarageBand – Apple

Drums XD – Studio Quality Percussion Custom Built By You! – Squeegees

BIAS Amp – Positive Grid Inc

A Music App Blog For Today’s iOS Musician

iPad Loops was the first music apps blog to feature cutting edge music production apps and instruments apps by an actual professional in the music app industry. It was founded in 2010 by Jason Donnelly (Dj Puzzle). Donnelly was part of the Sound Trends team as their content producer and consultant. Most of the loops for Sound Trends apps (Looptastic, Meta Dj, Studio HD, and Gruvtron) were created by Jason. Sound Trends was later sold to Native Instruments.
