iMaschine (featuring Jamie Lidell)

so here's the video i alluded to in the maschine mikro thread. i was pretty excited to shoot jamie, and he sells the hell out of the iMaschine app (which is actually one of the better music making apps for iDevices - perhaps more so if you have a full version of maschine to upload your projects to...)

anyway, here is:

Hey, good work man

$5? Fuck yeah! Awesome video too, I was expecting the girl laying next to Jamie to get up and slap him when he started singing though, haha

actually, this take we ended up using was the one take where she started coughing and abandoned the bed altogether (which is why she's entirely absent from the 2nd half of the video). i had a couple shots of her giving him a look like "wtf dude?" but it detracted from the purity of jamie's performance, which i think is pretty impressive, personally.

Ahrg, I want a Maschine so bad!!

This looks like a great app though. Almost reason enough to go for an iPhone on next phone!

haha well that was a fun first ten minutes with the app, not that this is good by any means but i should really be doing homework anyway!

excited to be able to jam on the go :sup:

here's my soundcloud upload page for imaschine dickery - the direct-to-soundcloud upload feature is kinda cool, even if it's pretty pointless productivity wise.

Oh! This looks exactly like the kind of iphone app I've been waiting for. Definitely gonna check this out tonight.

Didn't really like the music a whole lot but his facial expressions were pretty funny. Mobile music apps are crazy concept, probably would be more serious about wanting them if I road a train or bus everyday or something. I like having all my gear even when I'm doing quick demos but none the less it's really cool that this is getting more mobile apps are getting serious and diverse.

I didn't get to listen to the audio in the video, but this seems like it'd be amazing for live use. Most iOS music apps are pretty bad for live playing--nanoloop is probably the best I've seen but I don't like the way it handles transitions between files--but this seems very interesting. I wonder if it can be used as a kind of loopstation-esque device..?

Just bought it. Played around for 10mins and made something quite excellent. Not shareworthy but definitely better than the first 10mins of any other software I've used!

This is going to be PERFECT for getting those little ideas down while on public transport/at work/etc.

Awesome stuff! I have a feeling this will help me come out of my shell, vocal-wise.

I'd have to disagree with that. Beatmaker 2 is absolutely awesome. I can literally crank out a tune on it in no time now. And to be honest there's a lot more you can do on it that I haven't yet explored such as editing samples etc. I personally think mobile music is brilliant - its far exceeded my expections!! :D

Yeah I get what you're saying now. Will check this out as you say could be thing for live music!

Jeez, he's got a substantial pad.

Holy shit this app is amazing. I've only really played with the stock sounds so far but I'm having a lot of fun!

Does this have Core Midi?

jamie lidell is the shit. Such a talented live artist. He really really owns it live.

I'm new to iOS audio but I don't think it does, it doesn't seem to be able to sync up with anything.. Still very awesome for quick ideas and jams though:

I'll say it. I'm jealous of those MicroMains at the end.

A few things:

- There doesn't seem to be a way to turn off the metronome, or disable count-in when recording the first instance of a part

- Effects are in parallel instead of in series eg. the wet signal of the delay doesn't go through the filter—which kinda makes the ability to use two effects at once useless

- Only one pattern for each part. Would be nice to have say, four patterns for each part like in nanoloop

These aren't huge issues when it comes to sketching out ideas, but they kinda prevent this app from being an amazing live tool. Especially the metronome issue.

Other than that though, this is an awesome app. It's definitely the quickest way to put an idea down on the iphone. *waits for tim exile app*

Oh boy!

Looks fun but I don't think its worth my money compared to the other efforts out there for Idevices.

wtf

edit: are you trolling?
