When the iPhone became popular, developers began making more and
more apps to do a variety of things. From games to finances to even being able
to control Pro Tools from an iPhone. This introduced an even easier way to use
mobile recording.
ProRemote has been around since 2007. With Pro Tools LE, the app
gave 8 channels of faders. These channels ran in real time and even gave
colored monitoring like that inside Pro Tools, itself.
Not only did ProRemote run on iPhone, it is available for iPod
touch, as well. Mobile recording became even more popular.
Pro Tools is not the only DAW with an iPhone controller. There
are also controllers for Logic, Ableton, and many other DAWs. Many of these can
be run from ProRemote.
The remotes available in the App Store are getting more and more
advanced. They allow you to do even more away from your computer than ever before. DAW Remote is much more advanced. It allowed for a lot of control over Pro
Tools, Logic, or Ableton Live.
DAW Remote is much more advanced than ProRemote. DAW Remote even
allows the user to add and delete markers, scrub through the session, punch record,
and many other features.
With the iPad, things have been no different. One specific
company is embracing the power of the iPad.
PreSonus is introducing their new version of AudioBox. This
update includes software to use with a free iPad app.
With this app, almost anything inside Virtual StudioLive (the
DAW for AudioBox) can be controlled.
Controls include:
Volume
Pan
Aux Sends
FX Buses
Fat Channel Parameters
Not only can this app be used as a live console with AudioBox
and a laptop, it can be used as a studio controller. As a live console,
AudioBox can function with small gigs as a mixer or for recording. With studio
work, it can be used as an extra set of faders.
The recording industry is facing a new, more mobile way to work.
These apps can be very helpful in the studio or doing live work. The ability to
check levels while being away from the computer can save a lot of time. Being able
to mix and edit can save a lot of time, as well. Mobile recording will continue
to grow with the growth of smart phones, tablets, and laptops.
