Portable Music Production Apps And Music Loops

Are you looking for an affordable (one of the most expensive ones being Lemur) app that supports connecting your iPad directly into your DAW via midi (not JUST over wifi) and send midi messages?

We are stoked to put LiveRig to the test. Here’s what they have to say:

“Musicians, now you can turn your iPad into a clean, small, sophisticated midi controller that remotely manipulates your DAW, your plug-ins, any sounds or effects on your computer while you play, without having your computer in front of you, AND without the pesky and troublesome wires. It is quickly customizable, so you can change your controller’s functions to meet the needs of the moment, and to adapt to whatever hardware rig you’re using. Plus, it’s able to be used wirelessly, or wired, or both, depending on what you need — live performance, studio recording, audio engineering, composing — the list goes on.

LiveRig Midi Controller For iPad

Benefits:
• A way to control the sounds in your computer, as you play, without having your computer in front of you, without wires, without a router, and without having to purchase a hardware module.

Which means:
• A cleaner live performance setup without a computer in front of you taking center stage.
• Ability to command computer sounds, effects, and parameters from afar, without the cables.
• No more struggling with a laptop trying to press a key or work the trackpad while you play.
• Switch sounds while playing live, add reverb, do a quick EQ, start a backing track playing from the front of the stage, with your big clunky laptop tucked away back stage.
• Start and stop the DAW from wherever you’re recording, switch recording tracks, solo/mute tracks, etc., without running back to the board.

Now the iPad can function the same way a hardware controller would, except it IS the hardware controller, and it IS wireless, so you can “cut the cord” from using ordinary controllers that require cables to connect to your computer, AND you can completely customize your controller’s function for the needs of the moment.
