Angelina RobertsI love music and love use iPad, your article very useful.
Kord TaylorHi, I wanted to post a mention that Looptastic HD for iPad (usually $14.99 on the #AppStore) is on sale for only $.99 (that's only 99 cents US!) until Dec 30th. Go to http://bit.ly/arKmTx. As you mention, it's a great live loop instrument for folks who like to make music. You can remix live with loops and FX on-the-fly and then edit as an arrangement in apps like studio.HD. It comes with a ton of loops in lots of styles like house, hip hop, etc. Our gruvtron imstrument is only.99 right now too. Grab them before the price goes up again! Happy Holidays -kT
Matt PooleAlso very much worth considering is 'Animoog' - unbelievably great sounds.
iOS Musician BlogPretty fair list... Don't think Amplitube should be that high though, as you STILL can't use it with a 30-pin dock interface...
Daniela Orrantiaalso there is also ik multimedia sampletank
Flamin HarryGarageband doesn't work with Ipad 2 and os5 on the Alesis iodock. Beware!
Anthony AlvesI use Meteor Multitrack by 4pockets. By far the most powerful and pro like daw station for the iPad.
