Nick Batt host of Sonic Talk asked me to be a guest on his weekly videocast. I had a lot of fun with Nick chatting it up about library music production. I hope you enjoy this episode and find it inspiring and helpful.
* I started my blog iPadloops.com back in 2010 when I was developing content for Looptastic HD so you see this is a site operated by someone who is actually a working professional in the industry. I’m not just playing music as a hobby so rest assured I will NEVER ask you for money. All I ask is that you use my affiliate links when you can as that helps keep the site online! My day job is writing music for TV shows, video games, iOS apps and websites The Verge, Now This News, and Newsy.

Back in July of 2013 I reviewed a cool generative app called Poly on my Youtube channel. Several years later this fun and cool app has an update and it’s an important one!
Poly is a unique generative sequencer that harnesses the power of poly-rhythms to create intricate and exciting patterns.
Different coloured nodes are added to a circular area. The closer a node is to middle, the faster it repeats. Each node has its own sample, FX settings and keyboard. There are five available colours and up to 12 nodes maximum.
Poly comes with over 40 preset sounds, including a selection of awesome 808 samples
Other features include:
– Audiobus integration
– Audio Copy and Paste
– AudioShare file sharing
– Virtual / Hardware MIDI
– Saving and Loading of Patterns
– Recording of performances
– Dropbox upload and download

Some of the apps that contain my sounds are Synth One, EG Segments, Hammerhead, Retronyms AudioCopy, Audio Evolution Mobile, and iMPC Pro. My work is published by Roland, Antares, Magix, Soundtrack Loops, Sample Logic, Acoustica, Native Instruments, The Grammt Museum and many more.
