I spent a fucking tenner on beatmaker, and it turned out to just be a wanky piece of shite. The interface is AWFUL. That one coming out looks sick though, looking forward to it, must say!

I have had my iPhone 4 for a week now but I am reluctant to spend money on the apps that are out. I am afraid I won't use them. Want that nanostudio for sure tho.

I'd highly recommend Technobox, wicked acid sound and just plain fun!

I decided to get an iPad rather than get a new iPhone contract. Can't wait fer it come :D

The new iphone has twice the ram of the iPad from what I understand. I would wait at least until they upgrade the iPad. I am not really a mac guy anyway so I don't know how far I am going to go with their products. iPhone4 is bad as fuck though in my opinion. I need to grab the touchosc too. Having issues with my bank at the moment tho :-/

Don't get me wrong, I think the new iPhones are mint but I'll get more done on the ipad. Get plenty free time at work but atm waste it on the Internet. Can't get Internet as easy on ipad so I'll hopefully spend more time on tunes.

I <3 my iPhone 4

I felt the 3GS was definitely adequate hardware wise, but you can really feel the extra processor power and double RAM. Can't wait to play with NanoStudio and BeatMaker 2 on it

the akai synthstation app is worth checking out. Drummachine + 3 Synths (1poly, 2mono). Pretty fun to play around. Lfo->cutoff also works.

I seen a video for that and Ritchie Hawtin's doing a soundcheck at some festival. He walks about 100 metres from the stage triggering clips from the ipad!!

Have an iphone with beatmaker and technobox tbh a load of wank! Just gimme my laptop and mpc. The time it takes to make anything meaningful on a handheld iphone - rather bang on a tin can with a pair of chopsticks.

A very cool app which IS useful for soundscapes and the like is RJDJ Trippy www.rjdj.me

Check it!

Well obviously some real tools will beat an iPhone any day. The point is just to be able to have a little something with which you can transfer ideas from your head into something concrete while you're on the go.
