Mobile Music Production

Mobile Music Production is now a reality - here's an example using an Akai Synthstation25, the iPhone (& iPad), a MacBook Pro, and the MidiBridge iOS App for mobile recording or performance via Garageband on either: the iPhone, an iPad, or a MacBook Pro.
Garageband now supports direct export of your tracks into iMovie on your iOS device without requiring an iTunes synch - so finally a real mobile workflow!

Storify for iPad

An iPad App for Storify has just been released, which is great news because I've started to really enjoy using Storify for curating social media streams of events. The web interface for Storify did not work on the iPad, so an actual iPad App solves the creation on iPad issue. Storify is available on the iTines App Store for free at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/storify/id488223180?ls=1&mt=8

Theres a quick overview of the Storify iPad App on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gWEXwkikhMs

Storify looks to be a useful tool for student curation and student-generated social media and critique. We'll be using it for several student projects this semester in Journalism etc... Stay Tuned!

The Read/WriteWeb has a nice overview of the Storify iPad App - they're quite excited by it!

Super Sizing Education

iEducation via iBooks2, iBooks Author, & iTunesU App - thinking BIG rather than thinking DIFFERENT? Today Apple announced a trio of education focused applications:
  • iBooks2
  • iBooks Author
  • iTunesU App
NewImage

There's no doubting interactive texts in iBooks2 are FANTASTIC! AND Apple have provided a free app (iBooks Author) for iBook creation, and a cheaper model of textbook buying! However, those interactive textbooks are HUGE downloads! So you better:

  1. Buy at least a 64GB iPad
  2. Up your Broadband data cap from 2GB per month!
  3. Invest in your University WiFi bandwidth!
On the good side - good media optimization and a pedagogy paradigm rethink will allow you to use these tools for classy student-generated rich media projects

iOS Audio R/Evolution!

Audio enthusiasts - this is IMPRESSIVE! - Auria app for iPad will feature:
  • the ability to play 48 mono or stereo 24bit/44.1 kHz tracks simultaneously
  • record up to 24 of those tracks simultaneously (through any supported USB multichannel audio interface)
  • edit and mix with an interface similar to Pro Tools
  • Integrated FX processing
  • Bring in audio from iTunes, OR sessions from Pro Tools, Nuendo, Logic, Digital Performer or other DAWs via AAF import!!!
Compatibility iPad 2 recommended; iOS 5 required. Auria will record from the iPad mic, but a compatible USB Class 2 audio interface and Camera Connection Kit is recommended. iPad 1 is limited to 24 tracks. Some plug-ins are optional. This app is definitely on my wish list! NewImage From WaveMachineLabs: "Auria is a 48 track digital audio workstation designed exclusively for the iPad. Built from the ground up to be used in professional studio and live tracking applications, Auria includes the necessary tools for recording, mixing, and editing any project. Auria introduces innovative features such as AAF import/export for moving sessions between popular DAWs (like Pro Tools and Nuendo), 64-bit double precision architecture, and up to 24 tracks of simultaneous recording using compatible USB audio interfaces. WaveMachine Labs has teamed with PSPaudioware to offer a powerful vintage-inspired channel strip on every channel, plus a mastering processor on the master and subgroup channels. Auria also features a first among mobile apps - VST plugin support; Auria includes several bundled plugins (convolution reverb, stereo chorus and delay, classicVerb and a pitch processor). Plug-ins by PSPAudioware, Overloud Audio Tools, Fabfilter and more will be available through in-app purchase. WaveMachine Labs is pioneering the effort to develop the VST standard on iOS, allowing manufacturers to easily port their existing plugins to the iPad. http://www.AuriaApp.com "

    "Awesome presentations !by Stanley Frielick - Sunday, 18 December 2011, 11:25 pm 

    thanks to all for the amazing presentations on Friday - I think the quality and innovation was nicely summed up by Graham Prentice and I totally agree with his evaluation.  

    Part II of the presentations will be held on Monday 6 Feb - to allow those who kindly agreed to postpone theirs to allow sufficient time.

    My slides are available as PDF here (no videos)"

Elgato EyeTV Mobile dongle brings live TV to the iPad 2

Turn your iPad2 into a mobile FreeviewTV DVR!

Elgato EyeTV Mobile dongle brings live TV to the iPad 2: "

Elgato Eye TV Mobile
Sure, Elgato already has an app that lets you stream TV to your iPad -- but that's only if they're being broadcast online. To pull in live TV over the air you'd need a TV-tuner, something that has, until now, been unavailable for Apple's popular slate. By the end of September that lack of broadcast television will become just a distant memory with the release of EyeTV Mobile, a £100 (about $163) dongle that connects to the iPad's proprietary port. The tuner will be able to pull in MPEG 2 streams over DVB-T, but won't work with DVB-T2 broadcasts like Freeview HD. Check out the source for more details.

Elgato EyeTV Mobile dongle brings live TV to the iPad 2 originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 30 Aug 2011 14:35:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Mobile Devices & Web Consumption

iPads Consume 400% More Wi-Fi Data Than Other Mobile Devices [STUDY]: "iPads Consume 400% More Wi-Fi Data Than Other Mobile Devices [STUDY]"

"Mobile devices on the whole, according to the study, have usurped desktop platforms as the most ubiquitous Wi-Fi devices. In 2010, iOS and Android devices accounted for a combined 33% of Wi-Fi devices. Now they represent 58%. By comparison, Windows and Mac OS X devices together declined from 63% to 36% during the same time span."
