if the iPad/iPhone can't handle 16 Tracks of audio, something is seriously wrong.
I got hardware from the 80's that would woop the skin off most of these apps.
Its 2011. Stop playing games Apple/Devs/Steve.
Dear Anonymous,
Pray tell, what DIGITAL hardware from the 80's are you referring to? And it fit in your pocket and cost $200, as well?
Thanks in advance for enlightening the rest of us game playing dummies!
Limiting the track count was an intentional choice of the developer, not a hardware limitation. He wanted to preserve the workflow no matter the screen size. It really shows - this app has raised the bar. It's everything I hoped for!
Audiocopy?
PS: wrong again, it's only 2010 silly. Hail to Blip Interactive :)
Something in the feature list made me dream that it would be possible to do realtime recording of audio (as a track). That is a dream, yes? If so, why is it a dream?
...and IT IS BRILLIANT!
At least ! Something quite similar to Palm's Bhajis Loops on Apple platform ! I'm still using it now and I'm very happy. But now I can consider buying a Ipod...
But... Bhajis loops was open for plugin effects and source code modifications even with much more built-in effects.
Where's the compressor and de bit-rate crusher ?
Instant-buy!
I'm amazed at the sound on this app, the synths seem fantastic!
The whole app seems to be very easy to navigate and a joy to use (UNLIKE REBIRTH!). This is what i've been waiting for!
I'm going to try and sample some drumms of my c64/MSSIAH, and try to get the Eden synth to make some chiptune sounds!
This program is mind blowing! The synths sound awesome and are plenty deep. Swing features are great!. Audio copy/paste should be coming in next update?
Price ?
£8.99 at the moment. Downloading now.
This is amazing. I'm not going to even write in uppercase letter- there is no need to. I'm utterly blown away by this incredible bit of programming. I can't stop playing- apart from to write these words. The developers deserve the highest accolade ever (a designer island off the coast of Dubai?- you guys deserve it!). Can I award 6 stars in the appstore?! Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant! Worth every penny! (Oh yes Bhajis loops really is dead- long live Nanostudio!), and NS works wonderfully even on my 3G! Right back to dream mode.........8)
FARK- Random step start lfo? what the fu**?? wow! I can't stop giggling/ laughing (with joy!)! (try A07 Filters preset- f**king mental!! LOL!)
OK, this all sounds too good to be true but I'm willing to shell £8.99 just to find out. Hiho, hiho, off to the App store we go...
Hmmmmm ... is the sudden rush of 5-star apps on the app store for real> Doesn't seem typical, so I am a bit suspicious.
Also, yeah it sounds good for synth, trance, and lounge music, but what about using it as serious mulitrack audio recorder? Is it good for that, or should I look at alternatives.
I can't quite believe the reviews either. But most of my musical mates don't have iPhones, so it's not them :) There have been some very loyal people waiting for the release and they've been genuine with their reviews (I recognise many names from the NanoStudio forum).
NanoStudio's currently focused around electronic music and synths. I'd love to investige audio tracks in future, but depending on your application there may be other apps out there better suited to your purposes.
