The release of the latest OS update for the iPhone (OS 3.0) will further add to the advancement of the mobile music making scene as a number of new features have birthed into a pocket near you.  The iPhone/iPod Touch series continues to grow into becoming an integral component of the New Music Production Recording environment, found in todays Pro-Indie music studios across the globe- regardless of its miniature size.

As we’ve shown in our Alesis ProTrack Review Series, the possibilities are virtually unlimited, as you can for instance:

- record your band’s guitarist on the go while in your tour bus/van to then later listen to it before your live gig.

- record your friends’ vinyl record turntable with your iPod into a full .WAV file for sampling, or just to simply listen to it as you would an MP3.

- make music with the amazing Intua Beatmaker and NoiseIO applications while waiting for a movie to begin or while on the road to your live gig.

3 POINT OH

Now with the release of the latest OS 3.0 for the iPhone, I am certain it will (and continue to) add value and inspiration to all of your musical works.  Amazingly enough, you can now record, edit and upload video…on the go with the new iPhone 3G S….Behind the Scenes/VIP Fan Videos anyone? Wow!!!

Additionally, you can also record Voice Notes and create a BackStage Music Journal for your Fans and Subscribers to listen to.

As mentioned, the possibilities are virtually unlimited.  Apple has done it again - it’s that simple!

Sqeetz’s MPC Skin for FL Studio, as seen in our MPC Skin Loop Button Tutorial, can be downloaded here.  SampleSimple Subscribers have been asking where exactly they can find it so I decided to post it up in an official post.

Propellerhead has released its first official look at the their new Music Production Recording application, RECORD by posting a video tutorial on YouTube.

I’m hoping that RECORD will have simple sampling capabilities and slice/marking features.  We have yet to receive a reply from them for BETA testing RECORD so stay tuned.  Also, please subscribe to SampleSimple if you’d like us to cover RECORD faster.  We’re eager to test it out and create some cool simple tutorial videos just like our Simplicity Series for FL Studio.

We’ll start to send Propellerhead emails demanding they send us a Testers Copy

We simply plugged in our live mic through one of the XLR inputs on the Alesis ProTrack, set the device to mono then adjusted the input level.

The drums were played (by Timbourine) with the mic hanging over the drum kit.

I recorded them in fairly low to avoid clipping, and normalized the result.

Listen to a sample of the recordings below. 

Stay tuned for more of the SampleSimple.COM Alesis ProTrack Review Series [Thanks to the great staff @ Moog Audio Toronto]

This was a magical music moment!

For Day 3, we decided to take the ProTrack, iPod Touch 2G, Wall-O-Cam, and gear with us to the streets.

The day was jam packed with amazing street music and subway buskers, who were kind enough to share their musical genius and experiences with us - all captured using the Alesis ProTrack + iPro Recorder by BIAS - GET IT NOW!!!

Here is a video of us recording the amp of an amazing guitarist - you can also listen to more of the recording below the video. Enjoy and stay tuned for Day 3 Part 2 - BIG thanks again to MoogAudio [Toronto] for providing SampleSimple with the Alesis ProTrack!

Listen to more of the recording below (Some parts in the recording may clip because the ProTrack was held a bit to closely to the amp however the quality as you’ll hear is still amazing and listenable quality - GET THE PROTRACK FOR YOUR IPOD!!!)
